Snaps : The African American Art Of Verbal Warfare

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Snaps is the first book ever to present the funniest, rudes, most creative insults from a unique African-American comic art form. Also known as signifying, joning, and playing the dozens, snapping is as old as the blues and as cutting-edge as hip hop and rap. The book features more than 450 snaps direct from the streets as well as from celebritites. This book will make you laugh out loud--and give you verbal ammunition for the next time someone tries to snap on you.
