<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"The masterful art of chess, Kung-fu sword play, and the sweet science of boxing are all hip-hop expressions that connect us universally. <i>Beatboxing</i> tells the story. It's razor sharp."--Masta Killa, Wu-Tang Clan</b> <p/>Step into a world of rap moguls turned fight promoters, boxers turned rappers, and rappers turned boxers. From Mike Tyson to Tupac, from Roy Jones Jr. to J. Prince, explore how a cultural collision forever altered the relationship between music, race, sports, and politics. <p/>Daryl McDonald of Run-DMC once said that the rhyme <i>Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see!</i> was hip-hop's most famous lyric. Muhammad Ali's poetic brilliance and swagger--ignited by hype man Bundini Brown--gave hip-hop artists the template from which they forged their identities and performed their art. Hip-hop's impact on boxing, on the other hand, has not been explored. Until now. <p/>In <i>Beatboxing</i>, Todd Snyder uncovers the unique connection between hip-hop and the sweet science, tracing a grassroots cultural movement from its origins in the South Bronx to its explosion across the globe and ultimately into the charged environment of the prize ring. Featuring interviews with champion fighters and music legends, this is the definitive book about an enduring phenomenon and is a must-read for boxing and hip-hop fans alike.</p><p><br></p><br><p><b>TABLE OF CONTENTS</b> <p/><br>PRELUDE </p><p>Tale of the (Cassette) Tape <p/><br>INTRODUCTION </p><p>Check the Rhime <p/><br>CHAPTER 1 </p><p>Streets Is Watching <p/><br>CHAPTER 2 </p><p>Brooklyn Go Hard <p/><br>CHAPTER 3 </p><p>Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em <p/><br>CHAPTER 4 </p><p>Walk This Way <p/><br>CHAPTER 5 </p><p>Welcome to the Terrordome <p/><br>CHAPTER 6 </p><p>Me Against the World <p/><br>CHAPTER 7 </p><p>Ambitionz Az a Ridah <p/><br>CHAPTER 8 </p><p>Dirty South <p/><br>CHAPTER 9 </p><p>Y'all Must've Forgot <p/><br>CHAPTER 10 </p><p>Lean Back <p/><br>CHAPTER 11 </p><p>Get Money <p/><br>CHAPTER 12 </p><p>Get Rich or Die Tryin' <p/><br>CHAPTER 13 </p><p>What's Beef? <p/><br>CHAPTER 14 </p><p>Hate It or Love It <p/><br>CHAPTER 15 </p><p>Watch the Throne <p/><br>CHAPTER 16 </p><p>Mo' Money, Mo' Problems <p/><br>AFTERWORD </p><p>Don't Call It a Comeback <p/><br>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <p/><br>APPENDIXES: A COMPILATION OF HIP-HOP & BOXING SONGS <p/><br>APPENDIX A </p><p>Songs that Reference Boxing Personalities <p/><br>APPENDIX B </p><p>Noteworthy Hip-Hop Collaborations with Boxers <p/><br>APPENDIX C </p><p>Noteworthy Hip-Hop Songs Specifically Crafted for Boxing <p/><br>APPENDIX D </p><p>Noteworthy Hip-Hop Songs by Boxers <p/><br>NOTES <p/><br>WORKS REFERENCED<br></p>
