This book epitomizes the media\'s response by taking the reader on an engaging and critical journey, including the very first pieces written about Hip-Hop for publications like The Village Voice--controversial articles that created rifts between church and state, the artist and journalist, and articles that recorded the rise and tragic fall of the art form\'s appointed heroes, such as Tupac Shakur, Eazy-E, and the Notorious B.
