Hip‑Hop Is History by Questlove (co‑written with Ben Greenman) is a perceptive, deeply personal chronicle of hip‑hop’s first fifty years from one of the genre’s most respected voices. Questlove—six‑time Grammy‑winning musician, Academy Award–winning filmmaker, co‑founder of The Roots, and acclaimed author—traces hip‑hop from its 1970s Bronx beginnings through its cultural breakthroughs, forgotten gems, and chart‑topping milestones with encyclopedic passion and lived experience. Blending historical analysis with memoir‑like storytelling, he highlights both influential artists and pivotal moments that shaped the music and the movement. The result is both a sweeping cultural history and a heartfelt tribute to the art form that defined generations.
