Hip Hop Family Tree, Vol. 1: 1970s-1981

Loved it. Really engrossing.

Fantastic, can't wait to get the other volumes.

I loved the art, and I learned a lot about the beginnings of hip-hop, but the whole book just completely lacked a narrative structure. People were introduced without any story arc, no pauses in the story to explain who they were, or that we were switching to a new person. Things happened in the panels without any explanation as to what was going on, and then that narrative thread was just dropped. It just became exhausting after a while trying to figure it all out.
