{"product_id":"old-in-the-game","title":"Old in the Game","description":"The first study of hip-hop and aging, featuring insights from over twenty hip-hop pioneers and veterans.   Hip-hop is now in its sixth decade. How are the culture’s oldest innovators aging in, and with, hip-hop? In In Old in the Game, Murray Forman examines how hip-hop artists, audiences, and entrepreneurs negotiate the cultural process of aging.   Featuring commentary from hip-hop pioneers Grandmaster Caz, Grandwizzard Theodore, and Sha-Rock as well as veterans like Chuck D, LL Cool J, Ice-T, Pepa, and Yo-Yo, Forman reveals age as an essential component of identity and a mode of expression through which hip-hop–identified heads comprehend the world and present themselves. The book covers themes of generational difference and dissonance, ageism, memory and nostalgia, and retirement and death and offers a new way of understanding hip-hop as generations of hip-hop elders come of age, mature, and learn to grow old within the culture.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499265663349,"sku":"9780520417526","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/old-in-the-game","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
