Reading Frenzy ~ An Independent Press Emporium

Hip-Hop

By Martha Grover

For the purpose of this collection, Martha Grover defines hip hop as consisting of four elements: b-boying, graffiti, emceeing and deejaying.  From that starting point, she strives to seek out the dedicated practitioners of all four art forms taking her all over the city of Portland. Grover, seemingly, avoids touching on the race subject as her interviewees come from varied ethnicities.  By the end, you will have learned several things in regard to Portland's hip hop community but it's Grovers introspective writing that bends your ear and invites you to learn more about her and where she's coming from.
