It's unfortunate if you haven't heard by now, but Jeff Chang's book "Can't Stop Won't Stop" came out around the beginning of the year, and it is an amazing book. There is talk all up and down the culture...Personally, I really appreciate Jeff Chang's ability to convey the history and politics through stories off all different kinds. From Jamaica to Washington DC...Bam to Kam...Harry Allen to Polyculturalism...He took me places. I'm not the only one, I have lots of friends who have been involved with Hip-Hop for years, have read the book, and attended lectures and Q&As that Jeff Chang gave speaking about his book and the research he did for it, which took him about 10 years, they all had good things to say.

Simply put, it's a great history of our culture and one of the best Hip-Hop books available...check out Jeff's website below.
