Teruhiko Yumura : Gangsta Rap Cassettes (Book) - Remember the days when hip hop was so underground, it was hard to get pressed on vinyl? And most of -- Dusty Groove is Chicago
Remember the days when hip hop was so underground, it was hard to get pressed on vinyl? And most of the audience wasn't going to play the music on CD - leaving tapes to be the main format to circulate the music back in the underground! This cool volume really digs deep into that musical moment - a cassette-sized book that offers up a guide to hundreds of rare gangsta rap cassettes - each presented with their full front artwork on the smaller pages - with English listings of the dates, title, artist, label, and location - and a bit of added text in Japanese (which you should be able to read using Google translate.) The book features listings for over 300 cassette-only releases - then also has a smaller section on the selectors' favorites at the end, plus an index of artists - all presented in a really great, all-color softcover volume!
