Download e-book for kindle: What Is Hip-Hop? by Eric Morse,Anny Yi

"Morse and Yi (the group at the back of What Is Punk?) spotlight hip-hop's cultural hegemony through an impressively encyclopedic parade of rhyming biographies. Yi's meticulously styled clay figures are as magical as within the prior e-book, combining profound expressiveness with the playfulness of motion figures. Her compositions are both evocative, starting from video snippets (the Beastie Boys strike a pose from 'Intergalactic') to formal pics (Kanye West, Missy Elliott, Kendrick Lamar) and metaphorical ones (Jay Z stands amid manhattan urban skyscrapers)."
