About The Rap Year Book: The Most Important Rap Song From
Product Description NOW BEING TURNED INTO A DOCUMENTARY TO BE AIRED ON AMC IN 2018 . ****New York Times Best Seller**** ****Picked by Billboard as One of the 100 Greatest Music Books of All-Time**** ****Pitchfork Book Club's first selection**** . Here's what The Rap Year Book does: It takes readers from 1979, widely regarded as the moment rap became recognized as part of the cultural and musical landscape, and comes right up to the present, with Shea Serrano hilariously discussing, debating, and deconstructing the most important rap song year by year. Serrano also examines the most important moments that surround the history and culture of rap music--from artists' backgrounds to issues of race, the rise of hip-hop, and the struggles among its major players--both personal and professional. Covering East Coast and West Coast, famous rapper feuds, chart toppers, and show stoppers, The Rap Year Book is an in-depth look at the most influential genre of music to come out of the last generation. Complete with infographics, lyric maps, uproarious and informative footnotes, portraits of the artists, and short essays by other prominent music writers, The Rap Year Book is both a narrative and illustrated guide to the most iconic and influential rap songs ever created. It's like the gold tank from Master P's "Make 'Em Say Uhh!" video, except it's a book. It's like Kanye's verse on "Put On," except it's a book. It's like the face Biggie made when he was on the boat with Puffy in "Hypnotize," except it's a book. From the Author If you buy this book then I want you to know that I love you as a human. If you don't buy this book I still love you as a human but I probably love you less than the people who did buy it. About the Author Shea Serrano is a no. 1 New York Times bestselling author. Currently, he is a staff writer for The Ringer.
