Check the Technique
For the first time, the movers and shakers of modern hip-hop--including Rakim, Run D-M-C, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots--speak out about their most revered and influential works and the climates that helped to foster their artistic growth. Check the Technique is an oral history of one of the most iconoclastic musical artforms--rap--during its most creative era, the 80s and 90s.
