ReceptionThe book was praised by various press outlets such as The Los Angeles Times,[6] The Dallas Morning News,[7] The Boston Globe,[8] and The New York Times.[9] In particular, the book is praised for focusing on the poetics of hip hop music rather than examining the outlying societal factors—The Los Angeles Times noted, “As a key part of America's youth culture and a central battlefield in our culture wars, hip hop often seems to have forfeited the right to be discussed as art. Most academic and popular writers subjugate its aesthetics to its politics…until very recently, such writers could be counted on to begin around the time of hip-hop's birth and attempt to tackle the entire culture. Luckily, a new paradigm of scholarship is emerging, and Adam Bradley's "Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop" is a solid contribution.”[10] and The Dallas Morning News commented, “Where so many hip-hop studies lean heavily on politics and sociology, Book of Rhymes is a welcome and thorough exploration of rap aesthetics that isn't afraid to be learned.”[11] The New York Times observed, "It is a "crash course. . .essentially English 101 meets Hip-Hop Studies 101."[12] Criticism of the book came from The New York Times, which said, "Bradley wants to legitimize rap by setting it in a canonical context, but aren’t we past the point of justifying it? No one is really still debating whether hip-hop is a bona fide art form. In his tone of unwarranted protectiveness, he seems to forget that hip-hop now earns highbrow props worldwide. After three decades, it doesn’t require a defense attorney."[13] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.perseusbooksgroup.com/civitas/book_detail.jsp;jsessionid=7D7C5F530ACD72F8169DEE636EA9DD22?isbn%3D0465003478 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-08-15 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060110091622/http://www.perseusbooksgroup.com/civitas/book_detail.jsp |archivedate=2006-01-10 |df= }} 2. ^http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-bk_rhymes_0419gd.State.Edition1.4a68c86.html 3. ^Bradley, Adam, 2009, Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip-Hop, Basic Civitas Books, back cover. 4. ^http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-bk_rhymes_0419gd.State.Edition1.4a68c86.html 5. ^Bradley, Adam, 2009, Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip-Hop, Basic Civitas Books, p. vii. 6. ^http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/19/entertainment/et-book19 7. ^http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-bk_rhymes_0419gd.State.Edition1.4a68c86.html 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://adamfbradley.com/rhymes.php |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-08-15 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323071900/http://www.adamfbradley.com/rhymes.php |archivedate=2010-03-23 |df= }} 9. ^https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/books/review/Dreisinger-t.html 10. ^http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/19/entertainment/et-book19 11. ^http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-bk_rhymes_0419gd.State.Edition1.4a68c86.html 12. ^https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/books/review/Dreisinger-t.html 13. ^Baz Dreisinger, Def Poetry, The New York Times, September 8, 2009.
