À propos de cet audio

This program is read by the author, and includes an introduction written by Pharrell, and read by Nick Cannon.

"Dyson's incisive analysis of Jay-Z's brilliance not only offers a brief history of hip-hop's critical place in American culture, but also hints at how we can best move forward." (Questlove)

Jay-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long.

This audiobook wrestles with the biggest themes of Jay-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, Black wealth, and social injustice. As he enters his 50s, and to mark his 30 years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at Jay-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is Jay-Z’s America as much as it’s Pelosi’s America, or Trump’s America, or Martin Luther King’s America. Jay-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Jay Z is Hip Hop & Progress.

The Author does a great job of providing and intellectual observation and breakdown of Jay Z, Hip Hop & Black Culture. He gives respect to Drake, Nipsey Hussle & Other rap Moguls. The one downside of this Audio (Book) is the clear Polticial Bias by Dyson. His bias clouds the great insight that is brought to Us. Overall, Dyson is over intellectual to the point of nauseau. Smart, but it takes from the Great Rags to Riches Story of Jay Z. Interesting overall though. Shout out to Nick Cannon & Pharell.

didn't live up to expectations.

I thought it would be more about Jay-z story and back story but it was more or less just a commentary about his career. A lot more comparisons to other artists and political figures. Very textbook like. The performance was good.
