Houston Rap: Photographs by Peter Beste Hardcover – Single, November 30, 2013
Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again.
The Houston, Texas, neighborhoods of Fifth Ward, Third Ward and South Park have grown to be hallowed ground for modern rap culture, populated with celebrities, entrepreneurs, support networks and a micro-economy of their own. Photographer Peter Beste (photographer of True Norwegian Black Metal) and writer Lance Scott Walker spent nine years documenting the most influential style in twenty-first-century hip hop and the vibrant inner city culture from which it stems. Houston Rap, edited by Johan Kugelberg, profiles noted artists such as Bun B of UGK, Z-Ro, Big Mike, K-Rino, Willie D of the Geto Boys, Lil’ Troy and Paul Wall, alongside reflections on the lives of departed legends such as DJ Screw, Pimp C and Big Hawk. The book also features community leaders, rappers, producers, businessmen and family members, all providing an astonishing and important insight into a great American cultural narrative. In addition to featuring Beste’s previously unseen images of the contemporary Houston rap scene, Houston Rap includes a detailed timeline charting the growth of rap music in Houston from its origins to the present.

This book was a gift, and I have to say, it kind of floored me. The pictures are just incredible, not cliche at all. So many intense, and also moving, truthful images. But then you start reading, and that's when your mind gets blown. Walker has managed to assemble an astonishing collection of interviews from a wide array of the Houston Rap Community, people like Willie D, Bun B, Devin the Dude, and many I was not before familiar with. Lots of incredible stories. One really starts to understand how the socio-economic landscape and homegrown communities shape the Houston sound. My copy also came with a totally dope record! Daps to Beste and Walker.

A truly amazing book! Even though the photography could easily stand on it's own, this book is much more than that. The stories told by the rappers, djs, promoters, etc. offer an incredible glimpse into the real world of the Houston Rap culture that most readers could never get. The photography and stories add up to shine light on more than just the music. Topics such as economics, geography, gentrification, sociology, and others are explored via the images and interviews in this fantastic book. Instant Classic.

This book is really a one of a kind. There are hardly any books like this out there that discuss the unique cultural heritage within Houston. I bought this book thinking I was just getting a nice book of Houston images and photographs. That is only the tip of the iceberg. This book is FULL of quotes from people within the community giving a sort of oral history of modern Houston. I hope this book acts as a sort of catalyst to bring people out and publish similar work about Houston. Truly a Gem. Worth every penny!

This is a gorgeous book. The pictures in it are devastating and beautiful. Were it possible, I would marry it and never ever cheat on it or take it for granted.
