PaulEdwardWagemann Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Just a quick note to let you know that OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY: A SHADOW HISTORY OF HIP-HOP IN WHITE AMERICA hits bookstores today. The Washington Post Book World calls it "unfailingly empathetic." Seattle Weekly says it "takes exploration of pale-faced rappers to a new level." And Bill Adler, founding director of publicity for Def Jam, says that "Jason Tanz's idiosyncratic reporting, sharp analysis, and deadpan wit flow like Rakim's rhymes." Available at Amazon.com, and in bookstores everywhere. Check jasontanz.com for upcoming events, signings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 There isn't much of a history... Started off with the Beastie Boys & ended with Eminem with a few jokes in between (I.G. Vanilla Ice, K-Fed, etc.) Rick Rubin is the genious behind the style & genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 You may well laugh, but Lady Sovereign is the business. (Young, white, female, English rapper, signed to Def Jam) Her album "Public Warning" is well impressive. I've listened to it three times this week, and I fear I'm going to have to buy it.
