Celebrate the music that has shaped the culture and given us some of the greatest hits of all time with this vibrantly illustrated anthology, featuring 50 of the most lauded, controversial, and iconic hip-hop albums!
From underground roots to mainstream popularity, hip-hop's influence on music and entertainment around the world has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Ode to Hip-Hop

As Nasty As They Wanna Be
in 1989 to Cardi B's similarly provocative
Invasion of Privacy
almost thirty years later, and more,
covers hip-hop from coast to coast. Organized by decade and with sidebars on fashion, mixtapes, and key players throughout, the result is a comprehensive homage to hip-hop, published just in time for the fiftieth anniversary. Enjoyed in the club, at a party, through speakers or headphonesthe albums in this book deserve to be listened to again and again, for the next fifty years and beyond.
