Hip Hop Raised Me

D.J. Semtex , Marium Raja

Hip Hop Raised Me D.J. Semtex , Marium Raja Hip Hop Raised Me is the definitive volume on the essence, experience, and energy that is hip hop, and its massive and enduring impact over the last forty years. It’s packed with contact sheets, outtakes, and glory shots of artists, collectives, and fans from iconic photographers including Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, Eddie Otchere, Normski, Janette Beckman, Chi Modu, Nabil Elderkin, and Mark Humphrey, as well as photographs of hip-hop ephemera and vinyl courtesy of specialist collectors.

With the help of his definitive catalogue of interviews with hip-hop artists from the 1990s to today, conducted at key moments in their careers and including Jay-Z, , Eminem, Macklemore Ryan Lewis, , Nicki Minaj, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and the Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip hop in society. He reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life and the lives of many others, providing inspiration to generation after generation of young people. Taking a thematic approach, Semtex traces the characteristics and influence of hip hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ Kool Herc’s block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is hip hop today.

From Reader Review Hip Hop Raised Me for online ebook

Stefan says

This is an amazing document on hiphop music and culture. It documents the history of the music and culture, including stories on or from many of the important key figures in the history of hiphop. The artwork is amazing! I learned a lot from this book. Very much recommended.

Debra says

This seems to be a really thorough history of Hip Hop. It is a huge hardcover book with many timelines and illustrations. I didn't get it for me but I looked through it and I would think it would be a great addition to any Hip Hop fans library.

Simon says

448 large-format pages but a relatively brief, and personal, history of hip hop by one of the UKs more influential hip hop DJs. Includes some interesting cut-outs, timelines, side bars, family trees and that kind of thing, but the majesty of this book is in its images. There are over 1000 - of artists, gigs, cover art, street art, posters, flyers, etc - an awesome sample of hip hop’s visual culture that begs a slow and repeated page turn.

I know almost nothing about the history of hip hop but it’s striking how few women there are in this book. Maybe somebody but will tell me that that’s a statistically fair representation of hip hop history given that it has been a male-dominated art form, but feminist history would, of course, tell us that women are *always* there even if they don’t make it into the official histories. I dunno.

Kevin Krein says i bought this on a whim when i still worked at a bookstore. we got it in right before the holidays, and there it sat, on the table of new releases. people looked at it; no one was going to spend $65 on it. we were about to send it back to the distributor for credit and i decided, sure, i'll take it. this is, without a doubt, one of the worst and most frustrating books i've ever read in my entire life. part

Lauren says

This book was massive. It's kind of styled like a yearbook but with 400+ pages of pictures and commentary. It was really cool to see/read the story behind the album covers/photo shoots of different rappers/groups.

Julius Lollis says

Great book for the culture!

Waleed says

Well researched and lavishly illustrated. As well as a comprehensive history (from a British perspective) Semtex provides interesting thoughts on the of hip-hop.

Trevor says

This book is HUGE. I should admit that I did not read every word in it, because I needed to return it to the library. But I still recommend it.

J. Andrew says

The only reason this book has 3 stars is because it is a beautifully put together book. However, the writing is bad. It goes out of its way to not talk about race, and race and racism are in part the foundation of Hip Hop. Also, the book never defines terms and is very biased. Two people who should have been mentioned, not because their lasting legacies demand it, but because their small contribution to Hip Hop is important, there is no reference to MC Hammer who was the first commercially successful rapper who dominated the charts for a brief time and MF Doom who's flow would influence Biggie and Eminem.

Also, the title and the introduction of the book, DJ Semtex has a compelling story, yet beyond the first few

Just look at the pictures and read the flow charts. The rest of this book is garbage.
