An oral history of hip-hop music offers contributions by the artists who offer an anecdotal account of the creation of some of the genre's most important albums, as well as the people, events, and environment that inspired them

The format is simple: One chapter, one artist, one album, blow-by-blow and track-by-track, delivered straight from the artists who produced these classics. And whether you peruse the chapters in chunks over time or devour the book all at once, fans are guaranteed to revel in these conversations, reliving their favorite albums from hip-hop's "Golden age"--Publisher's note.
