The new book out now by author Damien Morgan, "Hip-Hop Had a Dream" is an astounding after-thought of the American way of life versus hip-hop, through various climates. The author discusses the interpretation of the American Dream viewed by hip-hop and the strong correlation between the modern identities of the art and Hollywood's exploitation of our fascination of the underworld romance with the law. The bond Brian DePalma's Scarface shares with hip-hop almost places Al Pacino alongside some of the culture's biggest movers and shakers. The story of rags to riches has long been a platform for rappers to bridge common ground. Morgan peels back the sociological and psychological reasons for these trends to occur.
