Review Excerpt:

One of Palmer's most interesting assertions: By testing out their tracks at strip clubs before releasing them as singles, Southern hip-hop producers are actually empowering females in ways their NYC and West Coast counterparts never did. This is but one example of the unusual, fresh thinking that sets this book apart from its compatriots in the portentous, pseudo-academic field of hip-hop theory.
