“The Come Up is Abrams at his sharpest, at his most observant, at his most insightful.”—Shea Serrano, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hip-Hop (And Other Things)
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Boston Globe, The Guardian, Spin
The music that would come to be known as hip-hop was born at a party in the Bronx in the summer of 1973. Now, fifty years later, it’s the most popular music genre in America. Just as jazz did in the first half of the twentieth century, hip-hop and its groundbreaking DJs and artists—nearly all of them people of color from some of America’s most overlooked communities—pushed the boundaries of music to new frontiers, while transfixing the country’s youth and reshaping fashion, art, and even language.
And yet, the stories of many hip-hop pioneers and their individual contributions in the pre-Internet days of mixtapes and word of mouth are rarely heard—and some are at risk of being lost forever. Now, in The Come Up, the New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Abrams offers the most comprehensive account so far of hip-hop’s rise, a multi-decade chronicle told in the voices of the people who made it happen.
In more than three hundred interviews conducted over three years, Abrams has captured the stories of the DJs, executives, producers, and artists who both witnessed and themselves forged the history of hip-hop. Masterfully combining these voices into a seamless symphonic narrative, Abrams traces how the genre grew out of the resourcefulness of a neglected population in the South Bronx, and from there how it flowed into New York City’s other boroughs, and beyond—from electrifying live gatherings, then on to radio and vinyl, below to the Mason-Dixon Line, west to Los Angeles through gangster rap and G-funk, and then across generations.
Abrams has on record Grandmaster Caz detailing hip-hop’s infancy, Edward “Duke Bootee” Fletcher describing the origins of “The Message,” DMC narrating his role in introducing hip-hop to the mainstream, Ice Cube recounting N.W.A’s breakthrough and breakup, Kool Moe Dee recalling his Grammys boycott, and countless more key players. Throughout, Abrams conveys with singular vividness the drive, the stakes, and the relentless creativity that ignited one of the greatest revolutions in modern music.
The Come Up is an exhilarating behind-the-scenes account of how hip-hop came to rule the world—and an essential contribution to music history.

Gentle makeup remover that works well
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this micellar water and really appreciate that it comes in a travel size. It’s gentle on the skin and works well for removing makeup without irritation.
It’s easy to use and convenient for trips or keeping in a bag. Overall, it’s a great cleanser that I would definitely use again.

Great addition to the garden
What a nice statue. The detail is better than I expected. The flowers look so delicate, yet the statue is sturdy and should hold up well to the elements. Item was well packed for shipping, totally encased in styrofoam. The lights are the best part. They are bright enough to illuminate the angel's face but not overpowering. The lights give her face an almost mystical glow. This statue would look good in any garden as well as indoor use. I don't regret this purchase at all. In fact, considering purchasing another for the back porch.

Will not disappoint!
It’s a beautiful garden decor to add to your outdoor area. It came a bit charged so I was able to see it lit soon after unboxing it. Since then I’ve placed it outside and at night it’s bright and a beauty to look at in my garden. I would buy this again in a heart beat! It’s well made and an ideal size, big enough not to get lost in the garden of plants and flowers I have in my backyard. It looks just like in the pictures provided overall very satisfied with my purchase and you will be too!
