“I definitely appreciate [Check the Technique]. It’s
good to see somebody going in-depth in hip-hop, not
just surface sh*t. I really do feel that this book is
good for the history of hip-hop.”
– Ice Cube

"Coleman gets props for the exhaustive effort it took
to interview the writers and producers of three dozen
seminal hip-hop albums ... He captures hip-hop's
spirit from the '80s to the mid-'90s, when inner-city
kids discovered music through samples crammed into
SP-1200 drum machines, learned the biz from shady
contracts, and built their personae from their stage
names up. Most admirably, Coleman sits back and lets
these born storytellers talk. Grade: B+"
– Neil Drumming, Entertainment Weekly (June 2007)

whoah..small world indeed! She was @ SXSW when we did the photo shoot and he went to pick her up at the airport afterwards. I didn't meet her but heard good things (obviously)..he's a really cool dude too.

yep, that's Margot. she works publicity at Berklee now

well that's cool Carina, I'm sure I'll see it next time I go down to get some coffee and pick up the SF Weekly :P
