Reviews
"The best thing about Making Beats is its assiduous in-depth coverage of the topic. The breadth of Schloss's work is remarkable."--Philip Ewell, Popular Music, " Making Beats is a leap into the future of hip-hop studies. The book should be required reading for scholars and serious fans of hip-hop music and culture."--Mark Anthony Neal, author of Songs in the Key of Black Life "Venturing in one of the most understudied areas of rap music, Making Beats is surely a comprehensive guide and a must read for serious students of hip hop and popular music studies."--Cheryl L. Keyes, author of Rap Music and Street Consciousness ""Schloss's consistent emphasis on artistic agency, musical processes, and individual compositional proclivities make this an important study for fans, scholars, critics, and anyone who needs convincing that hip-hop music is, in fact, music.""--Felicia Miyakawa, Journal of Popular Music Studies "" Making Beats offers such a compelling explanation of the aesthetics of sample-based hip-hop that it will be difficult for readers to leave the book without a deep appreciation for the inner logic and impressive artistry of the producer's work. This is foremost among many reasons why this book is essential reading.""--Mark Katz, Notes, "The best thing about Making Beats is its assiduous in-depth coverage of the topic. The breadth of Schloss's work is remarkable."-Philip Ewell, Popular Music, The best thing about Making Beats is its assiduous in-depth coverage of the topic. The breadth of Schloss's work is remarkable.
