In his new book All About the Beat, McWhorter dismisses the popularly
held belief that hip-hop is the savior of black America, doing for African-Americans
today what the civil rights movement did in the Sixties. Taking particular
issue with conscious rappers who, he says, chronicle the community's problems
without offering solutions, McWhorter insists that the answers to this
generations troubles lie in political activism not lyrical vandalism
against the powers-that-be. . .
