Best book I read all of last year! I was sad to miss Chang when he visited Powell's last week, wishing I could have gave him props for his efforts. The way he chronicles the history of major players in the hip hop industry (sadly this is what it has become to some) while weaving stories of significant cultural impact didn't allow me to put it down. It also provides both aficionados of the genre and beginners alike with some great artists to explore if you haven't heard already. Your brain will be poppin' and lockin' to the tune of Chang's masterpiece.
