Hip Hop raised me. How about you? Picture Hip Hop in the year 1920! Only one hip hop history book tells you how it all started before Brooklyn & the Bronx! Alas! You have a hip hop book for all ages! Perfect for studies, education, memorization, basic and advance research of the genre, the History of Hip Hop is for you! This rap history book puts you directly in the minds of the young American hip hop family tree of MCs who with the funky beat and dope-ass lyrics fought through streets of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles in the early days of the 70s and 80s with this new spirited soul of urban poetry. Thus, a hip hop consciousness of Black Americana spread across the USA, UK and many cities worldwide.
