Book Overview: It was born on the streets of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Harlem, and after years underground it emerged in Los Angeles, Japan, France and beyond to become an extraordinarily rich and often controversial wellspring of music, movies, language, and fashion. Once seen as a novelty, Hip Hop culture has become part of the mainstream-a mainstay of cable TV and shopping malls, as familiar to Madison Avenue as it is to Main Street.
