"In this eye-catching survey, LL COOL J spotlights important players in hip-hop history, from the 1970s, when skeptics believed the genre "had the same shelf life of a carton of milk," to the moneymaking phenomenon enmeshed in today's popular culture. [The book's] all-star lineup and the treasure trove of photos...bring to vivid life the energy and history of hip-hop." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, "This eye-catching survey...spotlights important players in hip-hop history, from the 1970s, when skeptics believed the genre "had the same shelf life of a carton of milk," to the moneymaking phenomenon enmeshed in today's popular culture.

Seller Feedback (353,823)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
