Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle by Daudi Abe Paperback Book

Description: Emerald Street by Daudi Abe, Sir Mix-A-Lot Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From the first rap battles in Seattles Central District to the Grammy stage, hip hop has shaped urban life and the music scene of the Pacific Northwest for more than four decades. In the early 1980s, Seattles hip-hop artists developed a community-based culture of stylistic experimentation and multiethnic collaboration. Emerging at a distance from the hip-hop centers of New York City and Los Angeles, Seattles most famous hip-hop figures, Sir Mix-A-Lot and Macklemore, found mainstream success twenty years apart by going directly against the grain of their respective eras. In addition, Seattle has produced a two-time world-champion breaking crew, globally renowned urban clothing designers, an international hip-hop magazine, and influential record producers.In Emerald Street, Daudi Abe chronicles the development of Seattle hip hop from its earliest days, drawing on interviews with artists and journalists to trace how the elements of hip hop-rapping, DJing, breaking, and graffiti-flourished in the Seattle scene. He shows how Seattle hip-hop culture goes beyond art and music, influencing politics, the relationships between communities of color and law enforcement, the changing media scene, and youth outreach and educational programs. The result is a rich narrative of a dynamic and influential force in Seattle music history and beyond.Emerald Street was made possible in part by a grant from 4Cultures Heritage Program. Author Biography Daudi Abe is professor of humanities at Seattle Central College and author of 6 N the Morning: West Coast Hip-Hop Music 1987–1992 and the Transformation of Mainstream Culture.
