Items related to Hip Hop America
A fascinating, entertaining account of the history of hip hop music - from its roots in the late 1970's, to its emergence as the powerful cultural force it is today, influencing everything from movies to advertising, fashion to sports. George offers an insider's tour through this society-altering phenomenon, of which rap music is only the audible manifestation. The world of hip hop is one of drugs, fashion, incarceration, basketball, entrepreneurship, technology and language. Nelson examines hip hop as music, a style, a business, a myth, a moral code; and the reasons why it has, against all odds, held a steady grip on American popular culture for over 20 years.
