Rakim Told Me – Hip Hop Wax Facts, Straight From The Original Artists – The 80s
Book (Item 382698) Wax Facts Press, 2005 — Condition: New Copy
Here's a historical hip hop journal that we can get behind in a big way and without reservation – one in which many of hip hop's greatest 80s innovators personally tell the stories behind their best early records! Author Brian Coleman (whom you may know for his XXL column) takes a no BS approach that we simply can't praise enough – he provides just enough back story and insight, and stays out of the way of the artists' own words. Coleman's a journalist in the truest sense. It features chapters on Schoolly D, Run DMC, MC Lyte, 2 Live Crew, Eric B & Rakim, Biz Markie, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Special Ed, Ultramagnetic MCs, Jungle Brothers, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, Mantronix, Public Enemy, The DOC, Marley Marl, Too $hort, EPMD, Dana Dane and Boogie Down Productions. Highly recommended!!! Paperback, 238 pages. (One of of favorite books about hip hop – back in stock after been out for a couple years!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
