It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him
Biggie and the world that made him
Description
Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit record, the wealth and international superstardom, then an early violent death. Biggie released his first record, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed. This book places Biggie's life in context, both within the history of rap but also the wider cultural and political forces that shaped him, including Caribbean immigration, the Reagan era disinvestment in public education, street life, the war on drugs, mass incarceration, and the booming, creative, and influential 1990s music industry
