Book excerpt: Falicia Love debuts at Urban Books with Queen Hustlaz - now available in mass market! Jeryca and her girls are the typical hood chicks, always on the prowl for a come-up and dead set on making it out of the hood. Jeryca thinks she has the perfect mark to finance her escape in Thad Royster, a certified playboy and drug dealer with plenty of stacks to blow. But what will happen when Thad sees right through her fake persona and phony emotions? As she learns more about Thad's treacherous ways, Jeryca becomes fueled by anger. Now she is out to settle the score with everyone who has crossed her, and Thad is her first target. Farrah is the one chick in the crew who lucked up on a guaranteed payday by becoming Larry's baby mama, but when Larry flips the script on her, she's completely thrown off her game. Farrah is fighting a war to keep her son, and she will do whatever it takes. Has she taken on more than she can handle? Will her treachery leave her with a debt that requires a larger blood payment than she can afford? Stephanie stands out from the rest of her clique, but her brains and loyalty to Chris give her the inside track on Thad's hustle. When Thad's crew makes a dirty play, she's forced to choose between riding for her man and her loyalty to her girls. Which side will she stand on when the dust settles? Dana is the only chick in the clique who intends to get her money the legit way. With a budding career in law, she decides to change her circle and shed the "hood chick" label. When old ties pull on her heartstrings, however, she's quickly pulled back into the mix. As she takes on the role as the leader of their robbing crew, she is determined to find out just who is loyal and who isn't. Is she ready to face the harsh truth? Thad and his crew are searching for the individuals responsible for the murderous and thieving acts that occur at his trap house, but will they find that leaving well enough alone was better?

Download or read book Original Gangstas written by Ben Westhoff and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Raw, authoritative, and unflinching ... An elaborately detailed, darkly surprising, definitive history of the LA gangsta rap era." -- Kirkus, starred review A monumental, revealing narrative history about the legendary group of artists at the forefront of West Coast hip-hop: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur. Amid rising gang violence, the crack epidemic, and police brutality, a group of unlikely voices cut through the chaos of late 1980s Los Angeles: N.W.A. Led by a drug dealer, a glammed-up producer, and a high school kid, N.W.A gave voice to disenfranchised African Americans across the country. And they quickly redefined pop culture across the world. Their names remain as popular as ever -- Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. Dre soon joined forces with Suge Knight to create the combustible Death Row Records, which in turn transformed Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur into superstars. Ben Westhoff explores how this group of artists shifted the balance of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. He shows how N.W.A.'s shocking success lead to rivalries between members, record labels, and eventually a war between East Coast and West Coast factions. In the process, hip-hop burst into mainstream America at a time of immense social change, and became the most dominant musical movement of the last thirty years. At gangsta rap's peak, two of its biggest names -- Tupac and Biggie Smalls -- were murdered, leaving the surviving artists to forge peace before the genre annihilated itself. Featuring extensive investigative reporting, interviews with the principal players, and dozens of never-before-told stories, Original Gangstas is a groundbreaking addition to the history of popular music.
Download or read book The Values of Independent Hip Hop in the Post Golden Era written by Christopher Vito and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this book uncovers the historical trajectory of U.S. independent hip-hop in the post-golden era, seeking to understand its complex relationship to mainstream hip-hop culture and U.S. culture more generally. Christopher Vito analyzes the lyrics of indie hip-hop albums from 2000-2013 to uncover the dominant ideologies of independent artists regarding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and social change. These analyses inform interviews with members of the indie hip-hop community to explore the meanings that they associate with the culture today, how technological and media changes impact the boundaries between independent and major, and whether and how this shapes their engagement with oppositional consciousness. Ultimately, this book aims to understand the complex and contradictory cultural politics of independent hip-hop in the contemporary age.
