The VIBE History of Hip Hop Edited By Alan Light (Three Rivers Press)

VIBE, the voice of the hip hop generation, presents the essence of hip hop. Music, fashion, dance, graffiti, movies, videos, and business: it’s all in this brilliant tale of cultural revolution that spans race and gender, language and nationality. The definitive history of a chronically under-documented music genre, The Vibe History of Hip Hop tells the full story of this grassroots cultural movement, from its origin on the streets of the Bronx to its explosion as an international phenomenon and multi-billion dollar industry. Illustrated with almost 200 photos, and accompanied by comprehensive discographies, this book is vivid review of the hip hop world through the eyes and ears of more than 50 of the finest music writers and cultural critics at work today, including Danyel Smith, Greg Tate, dream hampton, Rob Kenner, Anthony DeCurtis, Neil Strauss, and Bönz Malone.
