WHY H.Y.P.E.?Therapists, youth advocates, and counselors looking for a bold new approach to reach teen clients will appreciate this compendium of guidance techniques, which employs examples from Hip Hop culture and its impact on Black youth. Individuals striving to speak a language that means something to today's disaffected urban teen will relish the valuable resources and insights on display from the rap lyrics used as a catalyst for discussion about family life and its challenges to warning against violent lifestyles. In a commercial climate where too few celebrities take advantage of their marketing power to deliberately inspire the disillusioned who look to them as role models, this book empowers black youths by artfully extracting the positive messages from the people who inspire them the most.

rapper” to have a message.
* a voice for the voiceless, giving
participants a sense of purpose.
* confirmation that our youth have skills that
can be used to change the world.
* substantiation that rap music is not "just noise"
and Hip Hop culture was created by geniuses.
