    Can't Stop Won't Stop A History of the Hip-Hop Generation

    Ebury Press

    Absolutely essential book telling the story of hip-hop from an informed and informative point of view. Historical, cultural and social context gives this book much more depth than most hip-hop histories. Very Recommended!
