Book 2 covers the early years of 1981-1983 when Hip Hop has made a big transition from the
parks and rec rooms to downtown clubs and vinyl records. The performers make moves to separate
themselves from the paying customers by dressing more and more flamboyantly until a young Group
called RUN-DMC comes on the scene to take things back to the streets. This volume covers hits
like Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's The Message and
the movie Wildstyle and introduces superstars like NWA The Beastie Boys Doug E Fresh KRS
One ICE T and early Public Enemy. Cameos by Dolemite LL Cool J Notorious BIG and New Kids
on the Block(?!)!
