Yes Yes Y'all is the first and only account of hip-hop's origins, told in the never-before-published words of its founders and stars and highlighted by hundreds of vintage photos and flyers. With over fifty of hip-hop's stars and trailblazers sounding forth, including Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool DJ Herc, Melle Mel, Busy Bee, Grand Wizard Theodore, Grandmaster Caz, Rahiem, Fab 5 Freddy, Tony Tone, Kool DJ AJ and DMC, Yes Yes Y'all crackles with vitality, humor, and menace. Documenting all things hip-hop from the influence of gang culture on the early scene to B-boy and DJ culture to its commercial breakout with the release of Rapper's Delight to its spread worldwide, Yes Yes Y'all is the most authoritative record of the genesis of b-boys, graffiti, rap, and all aspects of hip-hop culture ever assembled-the ultimate history of an urban American revolution.
