@SlimGangstaGangsta (salutes) S.G.G., You are the Man! HIP HOP AMERICA is most definitely the GREATEST HIP HOP BOOK EVER. You were completely right, George incisively & critically breaks down Hip Hop culture and it's influence within & beyond the the elements.
And let me say it: HIP HOP AMERICA IS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE BIG PAYBACK. Charnas undoubtably was inspired by George's book, whether he admits it or not. Thank you Slim, rock on!

@SlimGangstaGangsta Being an honest man I will admit I have not read this. I do own The Death of Rhythm & Blues. Thanks Slim-GG for reminding me of another must have, to Amazon I go...
p.s. : small returned favor: you probably have already read The Big Payback by Dan Charnas. It undoubtably is in the same league as Hip Hop America, word up.

Nelson is the man! Without pretension he is a renaissance brother who wrote the first true articles on Hip Hop Culture in the late 70's early 80's and has traversed the worlds of film & literature with grace & skill.
My father said his mom, my grandmother, put all his comics into a trunk and set fire to them. Yeah, everybody has a tradgic comic story.

Whether or not someone is considered a nerd or cool has much to do with what crowd you are around. In some communities you can be considered a nerd just for being open minded and having broad interest.
