currentmusicology-5175	Bothwell, Beau	Review of Tricia Rose. 2008. The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop-And Why It Matters. New York: Basic/Civitas Books	2010	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3341	136	60	For Rose, the primary effect of an unquestioning defense of commercial hip hop, whether on the grounds of artistic freedom, ghetto authenticity, or anything else, leads to the absence of a constructive, healthy critique, which might allow hip hop to grow into an effective progressive force. In one of the most trenchant chapters, Rose explores what she calls the Mutual Denials in the Hip Hop Wars:' Among these are a willingness to accept homophobia as acceptable or at least unavoidable, a tendency to ignore the role of white consumption in the creation and development of commercial hip hop, and a disregard for the creative content of the music, whether by critics who dismiss it as worthless or supporters whose defense of hip hop extends so far as to require no creative standards at all-a position which she sees as equally dismissive.	cache/currentmusicology-5175.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5175.txt
