The Rough Guide to Hip-hop 2
The Rough Guide to Hip-Hop has everything you need to know about the world's most exciting music. It's a one stop A?Z of the best rappers, DJs, breakdancers, beat-boxers and graffiti writers, with the producers, record labels and players behind the scenes thrown in too. From old school pioneers such as Grandmaster Flash and the Sugar Hill Gang, through the acts that first made it big like Public Enemy and Beastie Boys, to current superstars such as Eminem, 50 Cent and Jay-Z ? this Rough Guide has got it covered. Extensive biographies, recommended albums, and hundreds of photos tell Hip-Hop's story. Plus there are boxes on Hip-Hop's fashions, films, feuds and fads, along side topics like Hip-Hop's slang and sub-genres.

Author Peter Shapiro is a regular contributor to The Wire magazine, an avid collector and expert on Hip-Hop, funk and soul.
