This was an exceptional video. I have followed Martha Cooper's projects since I first read Subway Art back in the days. Thanks for this post!

Tell us more about what makes them great? Are they lyricists, rappers, or emcees? Is there a variety of subject matter or topics? Do they have a signature flow? How profound are they to you?

Share with us. We are listening?

I will check the links. Hopefully there have been re-postings. I know that particular upload service is limited based on inactivity. If anything, you can contact Memory Man care of the his MySpace page courtesy of this article.

BTW 20 years ago, I felt the same way which is why the article came out the way it did. I am glad you said the same things as I have said. It is relative to what Ray Charles once said: Genius Loves Company.javascript:void(0);

I was in college and recording music down in South Florida. I apologize but I never heard of your tape. South Florida was slow in getting anything from \"up North\" including the latest B-Side jams and special dubs from NYC. What community events or releases were made up North usually stayed up North unless somebody traveled back with it. Once again I apologize for missing out on your tape.

Which distributor or retailer can we find this book?

I will definitely check it out. I never stop educating myself on different takes and angles about Hip Hop culture and its people. Thanks for the heads up!
