"From its origins as the urban folk music of the South Bronx in the mid-'70s to its present incarnation as the world's best-selling genre, hip-hop has been the most vital and controversial aspect of popular culture." "The Rough Guide to Hip-Hop is the definitive guide to the key MCs, DJs, producers, labels, graffiti taggers, poppers, lockers and body-rockers involved in the hip-hop scene." "Featuring extensive biographies, critical discographies and plenty of pictures, this is the only book that covers the entire spectrum of hip-hop from the big willies to the underground visionaries."--Jacket
