Book excerpt: With the fine strokes of a novelist, editor-in-chief of The Source and lifelong devotee of Hip Hop, Hinds, exposes the personalities as well as the appeal and controversy of a pop culture that has swept the globe. Revealing the lonely side of Lauryn Hill, the pensive, controlling tendencies of Puffy Combs, the tender side of gansta rapper Dr. Dre, and the creative energy of Wyclef Jean, Hinds goes far beyond the celebrities: his unflinching eye takes in the whole of Hip Hop and its impact. Beautifully written and refreshingly original.
