Book Reviews of Back in the Days
Book Review: It's FRESH!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you used to sit in front of the TV, after school, watching "YO MTV Raps" and "Rap City", then this book is for you. Just like how Moms and Dads can reminisce about the 60's & 70's, we can finally look back and remember the days when the only debt we had was a pager bill. Bamboo earings, asymmetric hair cuts, converse shoes and "TIGHT" jeans were in style. I usually don't spend over [price] on one book (I'm not that much of a reader) but I HAD to get this one. Definitely, a must have for those rainy days, or when you just want to sit back and "chill".Book Review: MUST HAVE if you are an 80's child!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this book as soon as it came out, and it is better than I had expected. I always wished I had more photos of the outfits and growing up in the 80's and this book does justice to how we looked. Everything is nicely represented in this book although I wish more West Coast. But still, It's Fantastic and It's Nicely bound very artsy cool!Book Review: Only in NYC
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn this book depicts the look and feel of NYC during this era. Brothers was rocking the shearlings tough, punks was getting their Lee patches taken and the flygirls was rocking the bamboo earings. Before the MTV era (although we did have Video Music Box) was setting the trend for how we looked and spoke, we looked within ourselves and let the streets define whether we were fresh or corney. Jamal represented in this book for real before the word was exploited. OneBook Review: Time Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Shabazz photographed his subjects with love and honesty. This wonderful document is nothing less than time travel.Book Review: cool cover - weak inside
Summary: 2 Stars
The cover looked so promising, but once i opened this boook up and took a good look inside I was very dissappointed.It really looked like it was going to be the coolest B-boy hip hop style from back in the days book ever, but fell short in a big way in my opinion. That's too bad.
