Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Near Fine. DETAILS: square PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine. BECKER, DANIEL LEVIN. What's good: notes on rap and language. San Francisco, CA: City Lights Books, 2022, 299pp., . "What's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis, a set of freewheeling liner notes, and a love letter to the most vital…American art form of the last half century. Over a series of short chapters, each centered on a different lyric, Daniel Levin Becker considers how rap's use of language operates and evolves at levels ranging from the local (slang, rhyme) to the analytical (quotation, transcription) to the philosophical (morality, criticism, irony), celebrating the pleasures and perils of any attempt to decipher its meaning-making technologies. Ranging from Sugarhill Gang to UGK to Young M.A, Rakim to Rick Ross to Rae Sremmurd, Jay-Z to Drake to Snoop Dogg, What's Good reads with the momentum of a deftly curated mixtape, drawing you into the conversation and teaching you to read it as it goes. A book for committed hip-hop heads, curious neophytes, armchair linguists, and everyone in between" - CONTENTS: Rhetorical questions -- I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love -- Rewinding -- To be the man on the mic, to be the man on your mind -- On cool -- What's normal to us is an illusion to them -- On me -- I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write -- Serious rap -- What you hear is not a test -- WHAT'S GOOD -- Word machines -- I make butter fly -- Slang evolution -- Speakin' my language if you talkin' 'bout tilapia -- Slang and slipperiness -- You'll never find a rhyme like this in any dictionary -- On rhyme -- Try me, try me -- On register -- Bitch I'm morose and lugubrious -- Haunted roots -- Hangin' on for dear life -- Code and contraband -- I got twenty-five lighters on the dresser -- Intelligences -- They don't call me Big for nuttin' -- Power play -- I'm on point like a elbow -- Word as bond -- Speech is my hammer bang the world into shape -- Anti-simile -- I'm the motherfucking king like Oedipus -- =, [?] -- I ain't Q-Tip but I'll make your breathin'stop -- # -- I got bars sentencing -- Economy and time -- Four Seasons, three words: do not disturb -- Signifying chains -- I take seven MCs, put 'em in a line -- Recycling -- Flow retarded, I'm on some Special Ed shit -- Elective chronology -- Once upon a time in the projects -- Ancestor worship -- We're holdin on to what's golden -- Writing/biting -- I got ninety-nine problems and a bitch ain't one -- Aggravated quotation -- Beat biter, dope style taker -- Hyperlinks -- Wikipedia that, if you didn't know -- On cliche -- Kickin' the fly cliches -- Who wore it better? -- Now I'm butt naked in a Lamborghini -- Deniable plausibility -- Might look light but we heavy though -- On first person -- I live it, I see it, and I write it because I know it -- Truth and consequence -- Calling her a crab is just a figure of speech -- Criminal slang -- I'm the biggest Dope Dealer and I serve all over town -- Selling work -- The dope I'm selling you don't smoke you feel -- On values -- I'm out here making sense `cause I'm out here making dollars -- On the B-word -- Who you callin' a bitch? -- On the N-word -- She could be my broad and I could be her -- On white people -- Please listen to my album -- On second person -- If that's your chick then why she textin' me? -- Is rap poetry? -- I take this more serious than just a poem -- Writing/not writing -- I wasn't born last night -- What you hear is not a text -- I can't help the poor if I'm one of them -- On possession -- Hi haters, I'm back off hiatus -- On possession with intent to sell -- Cash rules everything around me -- Signifying ornaments -- I spell it how the fucks I want -- Outsider art -- And all the people always know me for my comedy -- On irony -- This is fucking awesome -- Dumb love -- Microphone check 1-2 what is this -- Criticism and categories -- Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good -- A larger English -- Lampin' in the Hamptons like "What the fuck is a hammock?" -- Witness -- Party and bullshit.

Paperback. Condition: New. A NEW YORKER and GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEARA love letter to the verbal artistry of hip-hop, What's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis"What's Good is, among a great many other things, a byproduct of joyful obsession and immersion into both language and sound, an intersection that of…fers a rich and expansive land upon which to play." -Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance " . . . an often hilarious, surprisingly moving and always joyful paean to rap's relationship to words."-Jayson Greene, The New York Times"Rap, he is not afraid to say, is as close to a universal tongue as we have."-Adam Gopnik, The New YorkerWhat's Good is a work of passionate lyrical analysis, a set of freewheeling liner notes, and a love letter to the most vital American art form of the last half century.

The book offers a new set of eyes and ears through which to see and to hear the language of rap. Its brief and brilliant chapters are like the best kinds of freestyles: spontaneous and structured, startling and profound. A remarkable achievement." -Adam Bradley, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop"Could this be the rap equivalent of Lewis Hyde's The Gift or Marina Warner's Once Upon A Time? Anyhow, it's an electrifying book, full of wild epiphanies and provocations, an exhibition of a critical mind in full and open contact with their subject at the highest level, with a winning streak of confessional intimacy as well." -Jonathan Lethem, author of The Arrest: A Novel "What's Good is a feat of critical precision and personal obsession: Daniel Levin Becker's deep appreciation for rap is rangy and illuminating, and his delight in language is infectious. What a thrill to swing so gracefully from Lil Wayne to Mary Ruefle to the lyrical evolution of 'tilapia'; pure pleasure. A generous, joyful exegesis."-Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny Valley: A Memoir.
