Book Description

December 10, 2006

Hip Hop is a multi-billion dollar global industry, and commercialized gangsta rap has claimed its phat share. Coach Powell exposes the hoax and dirty tricks some in the industry use to seduce our children out of their money, their values, and their minds.

Read Hip Hop Hypocrisy to discover the disturbing answers to these questions:
What 15 social-historical behaviors do gangsta rappers and the KKK share?
What seductive technique is used by both gangsta rappers and pedophiles to tease, titillate, and psychologically trap children?
Could lyrical misogyny be a symptom of gender-bending and Prolonged Adolescent Syndrome?
Why do gangsta rappers get more air time than socially conscious rappers?
What satanic themes lurk behind Christian symbolism?
Have “nigga,” “bitch,” and “pimp” been flipped to mean something positive?
What 10 marketing commandments must gangsta rappers follow?
How do some lyrics and music videos promote drug addiction, violence, misogyny, and bling consumerism/materialism?
What is gangsta rap saying to the world about the African American community?
