Product Description
Book Description
"In the summer of '79 a group that nobody had ever heard of called the Sugarhill Gang released a catchy tune called 'Rapper's Delight' which sold over two million copies worldwide. Little did we know back then that this 'fad' called rap was breaking out of the underground on its way to becoming a multi-million-dollar industry, as well as the most influential and popular phenomenon of this century." From Chapter 2, "Back In The Day: 1975-79" by S.H. Fernando, Jr

VIBE, the world's most respected hip hop magazine, presents the definitive history of America's most influential musical movement of the last twenty years.
From the gangsta-violence of Tupac, NWA and ICE T to the daisy-age peace-vibes of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Through the R&B flavoured hip hop of Mary J Blige and TLC to the political power of Public Enemy. The VIBE History of Hip Hop features profiles, discographies and chapters on all of hip hop's stars and heroes.
Including chapters on graffiti, breakdancing, movies and fashion, The VIBE History of Hip Hop is the definitive story of a groundbreaking genre, told in entertaining style by the leading music and urban culture writers of the time. From the streets to the boardrooms, from Kool Herc spinning vinyl in the parks in '79 to Puff Daddy selling millions in '99, this book captures the essence and style of what has become the creative voice of an entire generation.
