Cant Stop Wont Stop is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the American century; and a provocative look into the new world that the hip-hop generation created.Forged in the fires of the Bronx and Kingston; Jamaica; hip-hop became the Esperanto of youth rebellion and a generation-defining movement. In a post-civil rights era defined by deindustrialization and globalization; hip-hop crystallized a multiracial; polycultural generations worldview; and transformed American politics and culture. But that epic story has never been told with this kind of breadth; insight; and style.Based on original interviews with DJs; b-boys; rappers; graffiti writers; activists; and gang members; with unforgettable portraits of many of hip-hops forebears; founders; and mavericks; including DJ Kool Herc; Afrika Bambaataa; Chuck D; and Ice Cube; Cant Stop Wont Stop chronicles the events; the ideas; the music; and the art that marked the hip-hop generations rise from the ashes of the 60s into the new millennium.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Disney. in their own wordsBy Truth PursuerAs a dedicated Waltphile. I believe there cant be too many books about Walt Disney. Don Peris excellent collection of interviews with many rarely heard from Disney Legends helps to make that case.Working with Walt offers these artists their own day in the sun at long last and more fully rounds out the portraits of Walt painted by biographers and authors like Bob Thomas (Walt Disney: An American Original). Howard and Amy Green (Remembering Walt). and Pat Williams (How to Be Like Walt).In the late 1970s. Don Peri was a young man who happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture so many of these voices. now gone from us forever. He has done a more than admirable job in offering us these priceless interviews. In the book. he hinted that more had been conducted than are in this volume. Hoping that means we can expect a Working with Walt. Volume 2!Nice job. Don. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about what made Walts studio and career so singularly remarkable. as told by those who lived the legend.How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life (How to Be Like) WALT DISNEY: AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL Remembering Walt1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
