Azi am cumparat aceasta carte “Check The Technique : Liner Notes for Hip Hop Junkies ” de Brian Coleman, fiind un “update” dupa prima carte scrisa de el, “Rakim Told Me“, desi Check the Technique contine mai multe review-uri per total, a renuntat la urmatoarele Lp-uri fata de editia veche :

Special Ed – Youngest In Charge,

Ultramagnetic Mc’s – Critical Beatdown,

Jungle Brothers – Straight Out The Jungle,

Mantronix – The Album,

Doc – No One Can Do It Better

Dana Dane – Dana Dane With the Fame

Brian Coleman , jurnalist din domeniu muzical, prezinta in aceasta “epopee” de peste 500 de pagini, 36 dintre cele mai renumite si marcante albume din Hip Hop, dupa parerea lui. Fiecare album e analizat piesa cu piesa, in colaborare cu interpretii acestora. Desigur exista mult mai multe albume care au marcat evolutia Hip Hop-ului insa Coleman a hotarat sa se rezume la urmatoarele “36″ :
