The Big Payback - Dan Charnas



This was a really long book about the hip hop business - from its humble roots in discos, parks, and rec rooms in the 1970s to today, where it really is big business. There are a lot of rap clothing lines now and this book had a lot about commercial radio in it, which is really not my thing. However, I love the idea of cutting records and selling them out of the trunk of your car. Nobody seems to do that anymore. I'm always on the lookout for the new rap or the new punk, you know, creating your own world and doing it.
