| book description |

'A must-read for old-school hip-hop heads and burgeoning fans alike' Time 'Hip Hip is not History, it's Our story. Brilliant book' Craig Charles 'A detailed chronological retelling of the genre's story' Guardian In this landmark book, Hip-Hop Is History, Grammy- and Academy Award-winning filmmaker and NYT bestselling author, Questlove, skilfully traces the creative and cultural forces that made and shaped hip-hop, highlighting both the forgotten but influential gems and the undeniable chart-topping hits-and weaves it all together with the stories no one else knows. It is at once an intimate, sharply observed story of a cultural revolution and a sweeping, grand theory of the evolution of the great artistic movement of our time. And Questlove, of course, approaches it with not only the encyclopaedic fluency and passion of an obsessive fan but also the expertise and originality of an innovative participant. Hip-hop is history, and also his history.
