| Journalist Brian Coleman has, over the past decade, immersed himself in and written about the hip hop artform as a columnist for national magazines like XXL, Scratch, CMJ and URB. In this brand new book Rakim Told Me, he covers hip hop facts from the 80's by legendary artists like De La Soul, Ice-T, Slick Rick, Public Enemy, KRS-One, Too $hort and more and of course Rakim himself. These are the liner notes straight from the sources, as hip hop albums very early on never received true treatment from the record labels that other genres did about the behind the scenes stuff and creative and collective processes that went into making some of hip hop's most classic albums. | |
