I Mix What I Like! A Mixtape Manifesto was this year’s inaugural book talk at CUNY’s Center for Worker Education series “Reading Hip Hop: Off the Records, In the Books.”  The discussion was engaging, challenging and we think a good start for the series.  We certainly hoped to bring politics and a focus on power struggles to a series that, as the organizers explain, is a “new lecture series from The City College of New York Division of Interdisciplinary Studies at the Center for Worker Education” that intends to “provide a forum for discussion with authors who chart what people know and understand about hip-hop. “Reading Hip Hop: Off the Records, In the Books,” which runs September 9 through December 2, will address hip-hop fiction, the business of hip-hop, music sampling, fashion, marketing, music politics and culture.”
