"It's my favorite book I read in jail." [Tupac Shakur] On hip-hop, rap, and the culture and politics (or otherwise) that surround it. From the role of white kids, to gangsta rap, to journalism, to breakdancing, freight-hopping, black intellectuals and graffitti. "Through stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, parodies and original research, (it) challenges the suburban mind-set wherever it is found, in suburbs and corporate headquarters, but also in cities, housing projects and hip-hop itself, debating key questions..." A truly fine book.
