Finding God in the Music and Message of Hip-Hop"From Gil-Scott Herron, Ice-T, DMX, Lil Kim, Mos Def, and Lauryn Hill to Christology, soteriology, and the role of the church, Hip-Hop Redemption is a brilliant read! Watkins's gifts as a socio-theologian and hip-hop devotee come together in a way that redeems an essential dialogue for engaging realities of the church and today's urbanized and global society."--Ronald E. Peters, Interdenominational Theological Center, Atlanta"Hip-hop deserves the theological interpretation that Watkins provides. This book should have a wide readership."--James H. Cone, Union Theological Seminary"Watkins remixes hip-hop history from the inside--as a DJ and a scholar--with deep love and respect for the music.
