A Brief History of Rhyme and Bass: Growing Up with Hip-hop

Description

During the late seventies a generation of black rockers laid the foundation for what would become a multi-billion dollar Industry: Hip-Hop music. “A Brief History Of Rhyme And Bass” fills us in on the origin of rap music and how it evolved from “music with a message” into a cesspool of sex, drugs, death and crime in less than two decades. Lov explores the role of the white “rapper” in Hip-Hop and relays his story of how Hip-Hop has taken him on a trip to a dark, sex and drug infested Hell and back, alive to tell the tale!
