desertcart.com: Can't Stop Won't Stop (Young Adult Edition): A Hip-Hop History: 9781250790514: Chang, Jeff, Cook, Dave ‘Davey D’: Books Review: Not Bad... - I thought that I was pretty versed in the origins of Hip Hop, but this book made me realize that I only reached the tip of the iceberg. From the gang history, to the lady MCs, Rapper's Delight, and more. The book does a wonderful job of breaking down Hip Hop's origins and influence in a manner that's attainable for younger minds. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Review: A "People's" History of Hip Hop - This is what history looks like when it is framed by ideology. I am a teacher and bought this book to do research for a class I'd like to teach about Hip Hop music. From the first page it was clear that this book has an agenda and a very specific frame through which it understands history. Throughout, its social justice mission leads the ways at the expense of its readability and objectivity. The best chapter is Ch. 15 about Biggie and Tupac where the author's just tell the story and forget their mission for a moment. The worst is Ch. 17 about Eminem, where his whole contribution to Hip Hop is relegated to critiques of his racial awareness. This book is really frustrating, and unlike Howard Zinn's history, seemly unaware of its own subjective and biased nature.
