" Reading Is Fundamental "

I'm not one of those dudes that is constantly posted up in front of the television all the time.....If I'm not on the turntables in the lab, more than likely I'm reading a book.....

Just copped the new book by Dan Charnas, "The Big Payback"......645 pages of critical information that had me bugging the fuck out......SERIOUSLY.....Somehow Dan managed to bring something to the table that hasn't been done before....

Here are some interesting facts according to this book that caught my attention...

1..Krush Groove earned 3 million in it's first weekend...

2..Rick Rubin designed the Def Jam logo..

3..Fab Five Freddy was supposed to take part in the classic song "Buffalo Gals", but instead passed off the opportunity to the World Famous Supreme Team...

4..Sylvia Robinson (Sugar Hill) rejected a free video for "White Lines" made by Spike Lee in the early 80's....

5..Run D.M.C. were given only two thousand dollars to record the single, "It's Like That" on Profile Records....

6..Planet Rock sold 650,000 12-inch singles for Tommy Boy-and was certified gold on September 16, 1982....

7..Dr.Jeckyll & Mr.Hyde were Profile Records first real artist, and they were offered two thousand dollars to publish all the songs they would record for the label..

8..Egyptian Lover is not even Egyptian, and his real name is Greg Broussard.....HAHA..

I think you get the point by now that this book is very in-depth and packed with all types of Hip hop jewelry.....If your a dedicated Hip Hop student like myself you can cop the book
