A D.U. Party Don't Stop: The Money B Story

By Chad Coenson and Money B

As opposed to tabloid "tell-all" books that exploit the secrets of celebrity acquaintances-dead and alive- The Money B Story dives into the historical foundations of racism, inequity and the people who fought against it. From the Black Panthers who educated him and to the wordsmiths that used their music to rail against the system, Money B remembers, reflects and examines the historical circumstances that gave rise to hip hop, rap and R&B. Moreover, this memoir goes beyond the story of any individual, but shows the collective effort that brought the world "The Humpty Dance," "Doowutchyalike" and "Freaks of the Industry." Both exciting and revelatory, this memoir also serves as the ultimate backstage pass where readers experience shows, recording sessions and personal anecdotes that only rap royalty were privy to. This book serves as an individual's recollection of the rise of hip hop while also serving as commentary on fame, success, artistic integrity and the turns that shape one's life. Money B unearths both personal and historical memory to comment on the state of the music industry and the so-called east coast, west coast rap war that never was. At times deeply personal and moving and at other times hilarious and raw, The Money B Story presents a balanced and complex look back at one of the most influential shifts in US music history.
