Fight the power

As a poet and philosopher, Chuck D has been the hard rhymer, rolling anthems off his tongue in an era of apathy, tapping into the youth culture of the world for more than a decade. Fight the Power, his first book, part memoir, part treatise, part State of the Union Address, is a testament to his nearly twenty years in the music business and his experiences around the world. Here is a history of one of the most important and controversial musical movements of our century, its impact on our culture, and the heroes and victims it has created in its wake.

First sentence: The 1990s have been filled with Black men being systematically ripped down and overexposed in the media like we're the worst criminals on the planet.
