With photographs, flyers and posters from the streets and clubs of hip-hop, \"Yes, Yes Y'all\" tells its stories in voices that bristle with vitality, character, humour and menace, taking us to places where it all began - the Bronx, Brooklyn and Harlem - and describing the emergence of the music from its roots through the first Bronx parties thrown by DJ Kool Herc in 1973-4 to the release of the Suger Hill Gang's \"Rapper's Delight\" in 1979, and the emergence of the new school in the mid 1980s. Fricke spent six years conducting interviews with hip-hop stars from the old school and the new: Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Caz, Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, DJ Kool Herc, Melle Mel, Rahiem, Tony Tone, DMC, Ice T and Dr Dre and other originators of the hip-hop sound. These are woven into a narrative containing detail, controversy and emotional power.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49532942549265,"sku":"GOR003912047","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537490682129,"sku":"GOR002847926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1903985579.jpg?v=1751347771"},{"product_id":"yes-yes-y-all-book-jim-fricke-9780306812248","title":"Yes, Yes, Y'all","description":"Hip-hop today is ubiquitous, dominating not only the music industry but also popular culture around the world. Like rock and roll before it, it has permanently transformed music, art, dance and fashion while capturing millions of listeners - and this vast cultural revolution was all started by a bunch of street kids in the ravaged Bronx of the 1970s. Documenting hip-hop's remarkable genesis, this book tells its stories in voices that bristle with vitality, character, humour and menace, tracing the music from DJ Kool Herc's first parties in 1973 through the release of \"Rapper's Delight\" in 1979 and the rise of the new school in the mid 1980s. Fricke and Ahearn weave an electric narrative from the accounts of over 50 of hip-hop's founders and stars, old school and new, including Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, Melle Mel, Grand Wizard Theodore, Grandmaster Caz, Rahiem, Fab 5 Freddy, Tony Tone and DMC. A wealth of previously unseen photographs, flyers and posters illustrate the text. This work is a chorus of voices, a tale of artistry in the face of extraordinary adversity, and the definitive history of a revolution created with nothing more than a microphone, a turntable and a dance floor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49612079071505,"sku":"GOR007378075","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50125506478353,"sku":"CIN030681224XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348141281553,"sku":"CIN030681224XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50913883980049,"sku":"CIN030681224XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52089710313745,"sku":"GOR007179878","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/030681224X.jpg?v=1750908906"},{"product_id":"yes-yes-y-all-book-jim-fricke-9780306811845","title":"Yes, Yes, Y'all","description":"The first and only account of hip-hop's birth, told in the never-before-published words of its founders and  stars, and highlighted by almost 200 photos and flyers. \"I always knew that, for those that never heard this music, that if they had a chance to hear it, they would have no choice  but to love it.\" --Grandmaster FlashHip-hop today is ubiquitous, dominating not only the music industry but also popular culture around the world.
