Hip-Hop Books For The Mind


To all out there interested in learning about Hip-Hop and how it all got started. Well, there are two books that I would recommend for you all. That is the very famous book by Jeff Chang called "Can't Stop Won't Stop". This is a very good book and it's a deep read. It's one of the best ever written and it goes into extreme detail about our culture and how it got started and why. I would encourage all Hip-Hop enthusiasts to take some time out of your busy days and get involved in your culture by picking up this piece of dynamic work.

The second book I would like to talk bout is "Yes Yes Y'all". This book covers just the first decade of Hip-Hop. It talks to a lot of the pioneers about there experiences with the music and culture from it's beginnings. This book will keep you entertained because it is full of rare photos and rare interviews. Pick this book up as it will be good for your soul. You will also get a first hand look into the lives of these pioneers as they help bring the culture out of the darkness and into the light of the world today.
