As an engaging philosophical work of social critique

and cultural commentary, A. Shahid Stover ignites a

series of explosive critical interrogations which explore

a tense unity of Hip Hop aesthetics and radical social

theory. Written with the compelling audacity of a young

iconoclast, Stover challenges the reader with an elevated

critical discourse which remains diligently grounded

and ever relevant to the streets of a world in structural

transition, spiritual alienation, socio-political upheaval

and intellectual revolt. Hip Hop Intellectual Resistance is

a book of genuine existential liberationist commitment

as lived and experienced by a new voice of independent

radical thought, who revels in confronting the academy

with social relevance and inciting the streets with

intellectual rigor.
