The Anthology of Rap
Before Rap Genius there was The Anthology of Rap, by Adam Bradley and Andrew DuBois. The book is a collection of over 30 years of hip hop lyrics. It also breaks down rap poetics, and what were the catalysts for each period in rap’s evolution.
Well, I guess it is time to brush up on my reading.
When I first started reading your list, I had doubts as to whether you would be able to give us 10 quality titles. I have to admit you did and it’s not that easy!
I actually read the Anthology of Rap. It’s gonna be a little boring, but you learn a lot from it.
I love Dan Charnas’ book. It is instructive to all small business owners, not just those involved in hiphop.
I have Book of Rap Lists. That’s one funny book.
