Hip-Hop (and other things)

Shea Serrano

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER HIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS) is about as it were rap but also some other things.

It's a smart fun funny insightful book that spends the entirety of its time celebrating what has become the most dominant form of music over the past two and a half decades. From Tupac to Jay Z Missy Elliott to Drake you'll find pretty much all of the big names among these pages - as well as a bunch of the smaller names too.

There's art from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres there are infographics and footnotes; there's all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the chapters are serious and some of the chapters are silly and some of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them though are treated with the care and respect that they deserve.
