Hip Hop in Houston: The Origin and the Legacy

English | ISBN: 1609499786 | 2013 | 176 pages | EPUB: 5 MB | PDF: 3 MB
Rap-A-Lot Records, U.G.K. (Pimp C and Bun B), Paul Wall, Beyonce, Chamillionaire and Scarface are all names synonymous with contemporary hip-hop. And they have one thing in common: Houston. Long before the country came to know the chopped and screwed style of rap from the Bayou City in the late 1990s, hip-hop in Houston grew steadily and produced some of the most prolific independent artists in the industry. With early roots in jazz, blues, R&B and zydeco, Houston hip-hop evolved not only as a musical form but also as a cultural movement. Join Maco L. Faniel as he uncovers the early years of Houston hip-hop from the music to the culture it inspired.

Thanks! Interesting read here as many regions don't have books tracing the history. Most authors just lump the south as 1 region, but that is unfair. Can't wait to finish this.

As a guy from Texas there was/is sooo much talent from Houston. Too many to mention. There is a good documentary called Screwed in Houston that is worth checkin out. I was an aquantince of Screw and used to frequent his record shop in H back in the day. My man K-rino from South Park might be one o the best battle rappers ever. Check him on youtube.
