Such a nice guy. I went to visit a friend in Boston, and before I could see him, I went from the airport to meet up with [the author]. We just chilled in his basement and did the interview after eating Chinese food. He says he's slowly working on another volume.Hoffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165593909346184186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482769860097074634.post-39142485432963127912010-09-30T15:44:27.419-07:002010-09-30T15:44:27.419-07:00It's on the schedule for this week.

I've also finished readiing Can't stop won't stop just minutes ago and I can't emphasize how much you need to read this, you'll probably have read some of the informations elsewhere but the author succeed at painting the larger picture of hip hop culture and it's importance in America.Hororohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107322437502429569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482769860097074634.post-24677092558733103162010-09-30T06:00:58.435-07:002010-09-30T06:00:58.435-07:00I'm well into Can't stop won't stop (o...I'm well into Can't stop won't stop (only less than 100 pages left) and it's probably something you will enjoy reading. The author goes through every event in the history of the black community in america while explaining how certain bands like Public Enemy or NWA were important at those times. It's full of great quotes from well known heroes of the rap community to a lot of unsung ones. Also, it's not only about rap but about hip hop as a whole and even if most of it is about rap, you also learn quite a bit about the developement of graffiti and breakdancing.Hororohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107322437502429569noreply@blogger.com
