Description
Book SynopsisHIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS)is about, as it were, rap, but also some other things. It''s a smart, fun, funny, insightful book that spends the entirety of its time celebrating what has become the most dominant form of music these past two and a half decades. Tupac is in there. Jay Z is in there. Missy Elliott is in there. Drake is in there. Pretty much all of the big names are in there, as are a bunch of the smaller names, too.
There''s art from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres, there are infographics and footnotes; there''s all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the chapters are serious, and some of the chapters are silly, and some of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them, though, are treated with the care and respect that they deserve.
