"Extremely well-written" --Dave Marsh.... "The best and most reliable history" --Robert Palmer.... "Thrilling, intricate story" --Greil Marcus.... "Hager is an ace reporter" --Robert Chrisgau.... "Formidable job of reporting" --Ken Tucker.... "It's impressive" --David Hinckley... "Hits home with little known facts" --Nelson George.... "Best read on the subject" -- James Marshall ....just a sample of reviews on Hip Hop by Steven Hager when it first came out in 1984, which disappeared quickly and sold for $500 and got bootlegged all over the place. But now you can get that original story, updated, annotated, filled with new details and new never-seen photographs, and it includes most everything Hager ever wrote on the subject.
