Can't Stop Won't Stop- A History of The Hip-Hop Generation

Author: Jeff Chang
Format: Paperback Book

Forged on the fires of the Bronx and Kingston, Jamaica, Hip-Hop has been a generation-defining global movement. In a post-civil rights era rapidly transformed by deindustrialization and globalization, Hip-Hop gave voiceless youths a chance to address these seismic changes, and became a job-making engine and the Esperanto of youth rebellion. Hip-Hop crystallized a multiracial generation's worldview, and forever transformed politics and culture. But the epic story of how that happened has never been fully told...until now.

Jeff Chang has been a Hip-Hop journalist for more than a decade and has written for the San Francisco Chronicle, The Village Voice, Vibe, The Nation, URB, Rap Pages, Spin and Mother Jones. He was a founding member of Colorlines Magazine, senior editor and Russell Simmons' 360hiphop.com and co-founder of the influential Hip-Hop label SoleSides, now Quannum Projects.
