Fresh out and just touched down with one goal in mind ... and that's to overcome the game in a low-key space-age pimpin, new millennium way. This fictional world that's written in The Naked Soul of Mississippi Slim draws you into a secret society full of blind side crosses, scandalous women, and game-tight hustlers that live by the code of the underworld at all costs. Creating a stable of beautiful women is Slim's first order of business once he hits the A, and with only a few minor set backs he's soon on his way to a lavish lifestyle full of freaky lesbian sex, abundant drugs, and more money than one man could ever use. This fast-paced thriller full of non-stop deadly suspense takes you on a journey through a grimy world full of deceit and betrayal that spins faster and faster into a blur of game-tight pimps, formidable gangstas, perverted shenanigans, and political exploitation. From Atlanta to Memphis to Miami, Slim's a fabulous youth ranging throughout the south and portraying the tough characters of the underground culture. Slim's story surprises you again and again. He's riding high until reality cuts him like a knife, and the code he lives by becomes the code that does him in.

Book excerpt: From its dynamic start at dance parties in the South Bronx in the late 1970s, hip hop and rap music have exploded into a dominant style of popular music in the United States and a force for activism and expression all over the world. So, too, has scholarship on hip hop and rap music grown. Yet much of this scholarship, employing methods drawn from sociology and literature, leaves unaddressed the expressive musical choices made by hip hop artists. Fundamental among these choices is the rhythm of the rapping voice, termed "flow." Flow presents unique theoretical and analytical challenges. It is rhythmic in the same way other music is rhythmic, but also in the way speech and poetry are rhythmic. For the first time, Mitchell Ohriner's Flow: The Rhythmic Voice in Rap Music reconciles approaches to key concepts of rhythm, such as meter, periodicity, patterning, and accent, treated independently across other branches of scholarship. Ohriner theorizes flow by weaving between the methods of computational music analysis and humanistic close reading. Through the analysis of large collections of verses and individual tracks, the book addresses theories of rhythm, meter, and groove in the unique ecology of rap music. In a series of case studies in the second half, the work of Eminem clarifies how flow can relate to text, the work of Black Thought of The Roots clarifies how flow can relate to other instrumental streams, and the work of Talib Kweli clarifies how flow can relate to rap's persistent meter. While Ohriner focuses on rap music throughout the book, the methods he introduces will be useful for other musical genres that feature the voice freely interacting with a more rigid metric framework.
