Hip-Hop Generation [New Edition]

Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation [New Edition]
Jeff Chang

Hip-hop did not begin with music alone.

From 1968 to 2001.
From the streets of the Bronx, Jamaican music, DJs, rap, graffiti, and breakdancing, to Public Enemy, N.W.A., and Basquiat.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Jeff Chang chronicles how hip-hop was born and how it expanded into a singular culture.

The original edition won the American Book Award in 2005. The Japanese version was published in 2007, and this is the 2016 new edition.

With a volume of 808 pages, this is a book not just for "listening" to hip-hop, but for understanding the background behind it.

A book that traces the roots of street culture—things you cannot see through records and clothing alone.

2016 / Rittor Music / 808 pages
