Excellent Book!By Sam WhiteSchloss has written another great book about hip-hop culture. This time; he tackles b-boying by participating in and interviewing key members of New Yorks b-boy scene. The real strength of the book are the many interviews he quotes from and summarizes. This is a must-read for anyone interested in b-boying.Because he is countering a number of academic books that adopts a more asbtract or philosophical tone; Schloss really emphasizes the importance of listening to the voices of the builders of b-boying and its participants. The downside of this approach is that he sometimes does not really analyze their comments; leaving the reader with what seems like overly-heroic images of the b-boys he quotes. Nonetheless; I would recommend this book to anyone. It is in my top 10 books about hip-hop.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Must have for the true bboys/bgirlsBy dmigueluThis book really goes into great detail about bboying and everything bboying related. A must have for bboys/bgirls who are serious about this thing of ours aka hip hop culture. The author really done his "homework" on the bboying culture and doesnt sugar coat anything. Thank you Joseph Schloss for producing this well documented subject in the form of a well written piece. From a Bboy.
