if they dont no dont tell em
I loved the intro by Jay-z and most probably will buy the book. Hip Hop needs more Michael Eric Dysons who can go out there and tell our story the way it needs to be told, without watering it down. Being an 80s baby, i still love what the culture used to be and the elements that breathed life into it, like b-boying, djing, graffiti, emceeing and beat boxing. I work with Toyota and we just concluded the yaris vs yaris dj/sneakerhead four city tour that featured breakdancing, dj battles & sneaker design contests plus performances and appearances from the likes of Kid Capri, Dj Clark Kent and others.
