Can't Stop Won't Stop : A History of the Hip Hop Generation
Based on original interviews with DJs, b-boys, rappers, graffiti writers, activists, and gang members, with unforgettable portraits of many of hip-hop's forebears, founders, and mavericks, including DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Chuck D, and Ice Cube, Can't Stop Won't Stop chronicles the events, the ideas, the music, and the art that marked the hip-hop generation's rise from the ashes of the 60's into the new millennium. Here is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the American century, and a provocative look into the new world that the hip-hop generation created.

It's truly unfortunate that a book of this magnitude was written by someone so seemingly obsessed by race, race, race. The first thing I did after reading this was look the author up and read his blog and there again -- race, race, race....
