Book Description Selwyn Seyfu Hinds -- award-winning former editor-in-chief of The Source -- presents an extraordinary memoir/history of hip-hop as seen through the eyes of one fan-turned-luminary The moment nine-year-old Hinds heard "Rapper'sDelight" in Guyana, he embarked upon an amazing, if sometimes contentious, relationship огпдь with hip-hop -- one that would continue through his migration to Brooklyn as a teenager and on through adult life Here, he takes readers to a murky nightclub in the violent streets of late-eighties Brooklyn; to an Ivy League campus caught up in political rap during the early nineties; to a curbside in Los Angeles where Notorious B I G has just been shot; to the achingly poor streets of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as a sea of black humanity surges to touch a hip-hop native son Interspersing recollections of life in the hip-hop trenches with profiles of figures like Lauryn Hill, Sean "P Diddy" Combs, Dr Dre, Wyclef Jean, and more, Hinds traces the heights and depths of his hip-hop love affair Like the Guyanese rice dish "cook-up," Gunshots in My Cook-Up ingeniously pulls wide-ranging elements into an irresistibly cohesive dish.  Pampers2004 г 304 стр ISBN 0743451376.
