This rewrite of hiphop history mixes reallife figures with characters pulled from the culture's hidden world, including Jay Z, Kanye West, and Russell Simmons.The Plot against Hip Hop is a noir novel set in the world of hiphop culture. The fatal stabbing of esteemed music critic Dwayne Robinson in a Soho office building is dismissed by the NYPD as a gang initiation. But his old friend, bodyguard and security expert D Hunter, suspects there are larger forces at work. D Hunter's investigation into his mentor's murder leads into a parallel history of hip hop, a place where renegade government agents, behindthescenes power brokers, and paranoid journalists know a truth that only a few hardcore fans suspect. --This text refers to the MP3 CD edition.
