Is there a HipHop related book, like Rickey Vincent's "Funk"?

There are tons of HipHop books, some good ones, and some not so good ones.

One of the most interesting and authentic ones I´ve read is a German pocketbook simply called HipHop, it´s out of print now.

Published in 1984 or 85 , this book goes waaaaay back into the 70´s , gives you some insight about what was going on in NYC in the early 80´s , contains a nice discography, some interviews with the true pioneers of the movement and is simply great for what it is .

My brother has a couple of good HipHop books....are you looking for something in particular ? Graffiti ? Deejaying & rapping ? The HipHop Files is also cool.

Hey kooleaze,
