Review
"Jeff Chang has spent the last decade researching a vivid and fascinating book which should remain the definitive history for at least as long ... Finally, rap gets the definitive history it deserves" (Q)
"Energetic and exhilarating ... There is a fearless sweep to this book. A distinct achievement" (Daily Telegraph)
"Inflammatory, illuminating, and anything but myopic, the scope of Chang's work is awe-inspiring" (DJ Shadow)
"Can't Stop Won't Stop knows hip hop to be the most significant musical-cultural revolution since rock and roll and tells its story from the bottom up" (Word)
"Has to rate as one of the most comprehensive studies of hip-hop history yet published" (Rock Sound)
