Hip-Hop Is History
by Questlove
Recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City, this audiobook features Questlove himself narrating and weaving together a rich tapestry of hip-hop's journey—from its humble beginnings to its current cultural dominance. Questlove's deep, personal connection to hip-hop shines through as he recounts pivotal moments, starting from hearing "Rapper’s Delight" in 1979 to directing the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop for the 2023 GRAMMYs.
Praised for his sharp insight and engaging storytelling, Questlove, a six-time Grammy Award-winning musician, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, and cofounder of The Roots, offers an unparalleled perspective. His narration brings to life his exploration of hip-hop's evolution, from vinyl records and mixtapes to streaming platforms. Questlove’s account is both an intimate reflection and a grand theory of hip-hop's cultural and artistic development.
In Hip-Hop Is History, Questlove traces the creative forces that shaped the genre, spotlighting both influential but overlooked tracks and major hits. His storytelling blends historical depth with personal anecdotes, revealing the genre's impact on his own life and career. The book is a compelling, encyclopedic journey through hip-hop’s transformative power and its profound impact on music and culture.
This Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books offers a vivid and personal narrative, capturing hip-hop's essence as both a historical phenomenon and Questlove's own personal history.
