Overview
Murders, mysteries, and copyright battles—renowned music journalist Kim Osorio (Straight from the Source) investigates significant legal cases involving hip-hop over the past 50 years and details how they have not only shaken the legal system but impacted culture as a whole.
Hip-hop has been a cultural phenomenon that has remained relevant, despite early assumptions that the musical genre would fade. Throughout its history it has represented the voice of marginalized communities. Many of its biggest stars have tried to use the streets as a conduit to credibility, which has led some to success—and others to the courtroom.
The People vs. Hip-Hop is an investigative and provocative look at the culture, its effects on the criminal justice system, and vice versa. Osorio combines astute reporting, firsthand interviews with key industry players, and sharp legal analysis to examine significant courtroom battles in the hip-hop community, including well-known cases like 2Pac, 2 Live Crew, and Snoop Dogg, and more recent cases ripped from the headlines like Diddy, Young Thug, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion.
From decades-old beefs to music sampling disputes, Osorio explains how the legal system has impacted hip-hop music, the culture at large, and law books nationwide.
