I Am Hip-Hop Conversations on the Music and Culture

Readers who share that "initial excitement for hip-hop" will no doubt find much of value in I Am Hip-Hop. Notes: The Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association This book is more of a recollection of early innovators, musicians, poets, and music groups within the hip-hop culture, than a reference work on hip-hop. The author interviews and discusses 25 influences and major figures within this music genre, including Chip Fu, Daddy-O, dream hampton, Kool Keith, Paradime, Sadat X, and Spinderella, among many others. Each interview includes the questions asked along with the answers, and a discography of that artist. For those who are interested in personal recollections of early hip-hop artists and their opinions related to various topics within this musical genre, this book would be of interest.
