Book Description

May 6, 2005
The Psychology of Hip Hop is a provocative examination of the world of Hip Hop, and how this music genre has shaped the American landscape. Going where no one else dares, The Psychology of Hip Hop effectively explains behaviors of some of the best known Hip Hop stars, like 50Cent, Eminem, Jay-Z, T.I., Lil’ Kim and Snoop Dogg. Think you know? Guess again!

McPhaul, a Mental Health Therapist and Personal Advisor to some of the world’s biggest entertainers, explains what the media only speculates about. The Psychology of Hip Hop outlines the complex maze of R. Kelly’s sexual indiscretions and the heinous exploitation of Hip Hop phenomenon B2K. In addition, The Psychology of Hip Hop answers questions such as, is Sean “P.Diddy” Combs really a Psychopath? And, studies if Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace and Tupac Shakur died as a result of an East Coast versus West Coast rivalry, or if greed of record company executives was the cause of their untimely deaths.

The Psychology of Hip Hop surveys the impact of racism and the influence of legal professionals on the music genre, and in the chapter “Pop Diva Takes A Dive” finally answers the question, did Bobby Brown really ruin Whitney Houston?

3.0 out of 5 stars The Psych of Hip -hop..., March 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Psychology of Hip Hop (Paperback)
I'm just glad I bought it used; though I wish the author would've just loaned it... it's a bit dated at this point; you should decide if you like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Huge Disappointment, December 1, 2005
This review is from: The Psychology of Hip Hop (Paperback)
The title of the book suggested a promising read, but the book itself is a huge disappointment. Its deepest insight is that some rap stars are anti-social. Knew that. But more disappointing, it's silly in some of its assertions. For example, follow this logic from the book. A white woman clutches her purse tightly when a black man approaches. Because of the lessons she has learned from apartheid and lynchings, she clutches her purse in order to manipulate the black man. How's that?!? If there is a basis to believe this, the author should tell us a source.

The book is not worth the read despite the promise of the title.
