'Questlove radiates passion, knowledge, wit and profundity as he reflects on this ever-evolving art form' GUARDIANFor a young Black kid growing up in a musical family in 1970s Philadelphia, hip-hop was everything. He stayed up late to hear the newest songs on the radio. He saved his money to buy vinyl as soon as it landed. He even started to make his own songs. That kid was Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson.Now, in this landmark book, Questlove traces the creative, cultural forces that made and shaped hip-hop, highlighting the forgotten influential gems and the chart-topping hits - and weaves it all together with the stories no one else knows. It is at once an intimate, sharply observed story and a sweeping theory of the evolution of the greatest artistic movement of our time. Questlove approaches it with both the encyclopaedic fluency of an obsessive fan and the unique expertise of an innovative participant. Hip-hop is history, and also his history.

Cuando el hip-hop surgió en la década de 1970, nadie esperaba que se convirtiera en la fuerza cultural que es en la actualidad. Pero para un joven negro criado en una familia musical en Filadelfia, lo era todo. Se quedaba despierto hasta altas horas de la madrugada para escuchar las últimas canciones que emitía la radio. Ahorraba para comprar vinilos en cuanto salían. Incluso empezó a componer sus propias canciones. Ese chico era Questlove.Ahora, en este libro único en su género, Questlove rastrea las fuerzas creativas y culturales que crearon y moldearon el hip-hop en EEUU, destacando tanto las joyas olvidadas pero influyentes como los éxitos innegables que encabezaron las listas de éxitos, y entrelaza este relato con historias que nadie más conoce. Hip-Hop es historia es a la vez un relato íntimo y agudamente descrito, y una teoría exhaustiva de la evolución de uno de los grades movimientos artístico y sociales de nuestro tiempo.Questlove aborda esta crónica del hip-hop con la sabiduría enciclopédica de un fanático obsesivo y la experiencia y la fluidez únicas de alguien que estuvo presente en muchos de los momentos de la historia.
