Publisher's Summary:

A comprehensive, chronological survey of rap and hip-hop from 1973 to the present by Chuck D., arguably the most influential rapper in the world.

In the more than 40 years since the days of DJ Kool Herc and "Rapper's Delight", hip hop and rap have become a billion-dollar worldwide phenomenon. Yet there has been no definitive history of the genre - until now.

Based on Chuck's long-running show on Rapstation.com, this massive compendium details the most iconic moments and influential songs in the genre's recorded history, from Kurtis Blow's "Christmas Rappin'" to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill to Kendrick Lamar's groundbreaking verse on "Control". Also included are key events in hip-hop history, from Grandmaster Flash's first scratch through Tupac's holographic appearance at Coachella.

Throughout, Chuck offers his insider's perspective on the chart toppers and show stoppers as he lived it.

Critic Reviews:

"Chuck D wasn't put here to play any games. He created the greatest hip-hop album in my opinion to date,

"If you want to understand our culture. To learn knowledge itself. Truth about the art form of poetry in motion. The struggle of our community through rhyme and rhythm. This is the book that inspired me long before I found my place in hip-hop. The power of self-expression. Unapologetically. Taught by the teacher himself. Chuck D!" (Kendrick Lamar)

Critic Reviews:

"A radiantly accomplished writer.... Gioia conveys his passion for the music with vivid description and shrewd judgements." (Wall Street Journal)

"Gioia could not have done a better job. Through him, jazz might even find new devotees." (Economist)

Members Reviews:

Good start and end but not great

Most of the best insights are at the beginning and end. In between is a history of jazz and jazz artists which has been done better by Shipton and others, in much more detail. He doesn't actually get around to saying what his criteria for excellence are! A bit disappointing, but still worthwhile.

Title: Blues People

Subtitle: Negro Music in White America

Author: LeRoi Jones

Narrator: Prentice Onayemi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-05-17

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

"The path the slave took to 'citizenship' is what I want to look at. And I make my analogy through the slave citizen's music - through the music that is most closely associated with him: blues and a later, but parallel, development, jazz...[If] the Negro represents, or is symbolic of, something in and about the nature of American culture, this certainly should be revealed by his characteristic music."

So says Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) in the introduction to Blues People, his classic work on the place of jazz and blues in American social, musical, economic, and cultural history. From the music of African slaves in the United States through the music scene of the 1960s, Baraka traces the influence of what he calls "negro music" on white America - not only in the context of music and pop culture but also in terms of the values and perspectives passed on through the music. In tracing the music, he brilliantly illuminates the influence of African Americans on American culture and history.

Members Reviews:

A sturdy Black history as well as the music history bits...

As much an ethnography of Black Americans as a history of the Blues, Jones long-established book is a pleasant-enough read for most anyone who went through college long before there were Black Studies courses to take as electives.

classic

A wonderful read

Good read

A very interesting read that very covers the origin and development of a number of genres of music in America and their place in culture. Something to note is that a significant portion of the book is framed around racial issues (as you would expect from the title), and Mr. Jones can take a pretty venomous tone when referring to American history and culture.

Five Stars

Good read and an unfamiliar (musical) view of "Negro" history

Title: Streampunks

Subtitle: YouTube and the Rebels Remaking Media

Author: Maany Peyvan, Robert Kyncl

Narrator: Stephen Graybill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-05-17

Publisher: Harper Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

An entertainment and tech insider - YouTube's chief business officer - delivers the first detailed account of the rise of YouTube, the creative minds who have capitalized on it to become pop culture stars, and how streaming video is revolutionizing the media world.

In the past 10 years, the Internet video platform YouTube has changed media and entertainment as profoundly as the invention of film, radio, and television did more than six decades earlier. Streampunks is a firsthand account of this upstart company, examining how it evolved and where it will take us next.

Sharing behind-the-scenes stories of YouTube's most influential stars - Streampunks like Tyler Oakley, Lilly Singh, and Casey Neistat - and the dealmakers brokering the future of entertainment, like Scooter Braun and Shane Smith, Robert Kyncl uses his experiences at three of the most innovative media companies - HBO, Netflix, and YouTube - to tell the story of streaming video and this modern pop-culture juggernaut. Collaborating with Google speechwriter Maany Peyvan, Kyncl explains how the new rules of entertainment are being written and how and why the media landscape is radically changing, while giving aspiring Streampunks some necessary advice to launch their own new media careers.

Kyncl persuasively argues that, despite concerns about technology impoverishing artists or undermining artistic quality, the new media revolution is actually fueling a creative boom and leading to more compelling, diverse, and immersive content. Enlightening, surprising, and thoroughly entertaining, Streampunks is a revelatory ride through the new media rebellion that is reshaping our world.

Title: Girls to the Front

Subtitle: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution

Author: Sara Marcus

Narrator: Julie McKay

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

Girls to the Front is the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movement - the radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America's gender landscape forever. Author Sara Marcus, a music and politics writer for Time Out New York, Slate.com, Pos, and Heeb magazine, interweaves research, interviews, and her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner. Her passionate, sophisticated narrative brilliantly conveys the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Heavens to Betsy - as well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, and Kathleen Hanna's Le Tigre - and their effect on today's culture.

Critic Reviews:

"[A] compelling history...Marcus has done a commendable job of telling the little-known history of an important social and cultural movement." (Booklist, starred review)

Members Reviews:

Page-turning social history with smart and heart

Marcus writes in Girls to the Front of a cultural moment and movement close to her heart, but miraculously, that doesn't inhibit her journalistic perspective. With a sharp eye, her clear and often lyrical prose, and a masterfully constructed narrative, she gives the first steady view of the Third Wave feminist movement. The book is compelling as any novel, though just a few pages in, the depth and breadth of her research becomes breathtakingly clear. The publication of this book is a momentous moment in the archiving of this country's grassroots political history, and Marcus's burgeoning career. Brava!

Essential reading

This is a powerful rendering of some crucial years, a time that still resonates today in phenomenon like Pussy Riot and Girls Rock! I was part of this moment, and it still matters immensely to me... this book is a worthy document, and the result of painstaking research... check it out if you can!

This the type of media exposure the girls wanted all along.

It seems like Sara Marcus went above and beyond to get all of the different voices that made up the Riot Grrrl revolution. It wasn't about what music they listened, what they wore or how they fashioned their hair, it shows the movements purpose. She clarified a few points ( I always wondered how Courtney Love ended up being linked to it) and she makes it a point to not single out Kathleen Hanna as the leader, though it seems natural to want to do so. It was direct and informative.

I learned so much!

Makes me feel strong. I loved knowing more and getting more connected. Learning more really gets you fired up and feel empowered.

i loved it! only complaint would be the lack of ...

well-paced writing -- nonfiction can be a tough read but this one's gripping. i loved it! only complaint would be the lack of trans* representation.
