Sweeping in its scope; The Legends of Hip Hop is an intimate look at the visionaries; the movers and the shakers; and the pioneers who have helped shape the world of hip hop.Groundbreaking artist Justin Bua profiles and paints fifty key figures; including everyone from Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash to President Obama and Jay-Z; providing a portrait of each legend in a style reminiscent of the great masters. The artwork is accompanied by an engaging autobiographical narrative that contextualizes the impact each icon has had on Buarsquo;s personal life and on the hip-hop culture at large. With a foreword by Chuck D; this landmark volume is more than a celebration of hip hop; it is the definitive word on the subject as told by Bua; one of hip hoprsquo;s leading artists and a legend in his own right.
