5.0 out of 5 stars
Vital to the preservation of hip hop's culture, November 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hip Hop: The Illustrated History of Break Dancing, Rap Music, and Graffiti (Paperback)
Where do I begin? This book chronicles the beginnings of the hip hop culture as no other periodicle has ever done... Written in 1984, it is immersed in the legend and lore of the time from which it was born... The lucid writing is gripping and revealing, offering a veritable cornucopia of jewels, gems, and unparalleled insight into the roots of breakdancing, graffiti, rapping, and DJing (the four elements - although they are not enumerated as such in the text)...
In other words, if you get a chance, peep it... On the real, kid, even though it's crazy rare, it's a piece of your culture -- OUR culture... If you EVER see it, pick it up... It's incredibly rare and hard to find!
Chill,
SureShot La Rock

This book is one of the best books written about hip hop in general. Steven Hager really did his homework on this one. this book has it all, plenty of pictures, interviews and knowledge.
