    About this ebook

    "From Streets to Stardom: A Rapid-Fire Tour of Hip-Hop Evolution"

    Hip Hop's evolution offers a vivid voice and pictorial history of life on the streets of urban America, reaching back to the vibrant 1920s. Sprouting from the soil of struggle and determination, this cultural movement quickly unearthed a dynamic brigade of youthful African-American musicians. Eager to weave their art into narratives, they brought forth a spirited, soulful style that resonated globally. From its birthplace in the South Bronx and Brooklyn of the 1970s, Rap has burgeoned to become one of the most powerful musical forces of the 21st century.

    In my rap history series, I decode the genre of hip hop for all audiences, from the curious beginner to the seasoned aficionado, kids, teens, and adults alike. Here's a snapshot of this volume's enlightening content:

    • The Hip Hop vs. Rap Debate: Unravel the nuanced differences between these two often-confused terms.
    • The Early Stirrings: Explore the formative influences that shaped Rap's history.

    Eric Reese

    "Every book I write goes into uncharted territories others won't pen."   About me: I'm Eric Reese, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've worked as a community organizer, educator, graphic design, human services and a number of other fields.  I'm the recipient of the first Mayoral Scholarship of Philadelphia (1993), the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Human Relations Award (1989) and a few other awards and scholarships nationally and globally.  I've always had an interest in writing especially from the old-journal-in-the-morning days as many of my books today reflect my experiences here and abroad.  When I have time for myself, I love traveling, mediating and researching new marketing tactics. One of my weirdest experiences was when I once lived on a top roof in an apartment building in Beirut for a few weeks until I found somewhere to stay during the war in Afghanistan. Every night, I'd listen to BBC radio and hear the chaos while not be detected.  Some say that my lively and energetic character has made me many friends across the world. I really hope so; with many friends come many enemies. In the future, I'd love to own a large home somewhere in a quiet peaceful spacious area where my neighbors are not close but not far. Now I live wherever is called home at the time in hopes of achieving my goal one of these days. You can contact me at feekness@gmail.com

      O livro traz uma narrativa simples e bem objetiva esclarecendo diversas do gênero em questão. É claramente visível a vivência do autor com a cultura do hip-hop e clareza dos argumentos. Sem dúvida é um livro tão bom quanto muitos documentários.

      Quick read, good overview of the history of hip hop culture, mostly focusing on rap music. Hits "the peaks," or, significant moments without going into much depth. I'm looking forward to reading the other titles in this series to get a bit deeper. I recommend it.
