The Ultimate Gift for the Hip Hop Fan

What makes this book so hot? Page after page of iconic portraits of hip hop heros from the late Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls to modern masters like Wu Tang Clan and Outkast. And of course there are R & B divas like Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, and Faith Evans. There are shots of Michael and Janet Jackson and reggae stars like Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Beenie Man, and Bounty Killer. Also political figures like Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Al Sharpton. There's even a great portrait of Toni Morrison's dreadlocks. This is great photography that captures a great era in human history: the hip hop era.
