This is a fantasic book about early hip hop. I especially liked the bit on Pubic Enemy. Very informative. Apparently there is a new edition of this out with even more information and more artists profiled. Great.
First self published book by Brian Coleman. It is the original book about the origins of many of the most classic hip hop albums ever. He later published "Check The Technique" which expanded this edition..
A great look into the music of the era, providing the liner notes that never existed.
