Hip hop has long been a culture that has brought together different types of people. But what many do not know is the incredible and powerful contributions of the Asian community to hip hop, the most dominant youth culture on the planet since the late 1970s. <em>Empire of Funk: Hip Hop and Representation in Filipina/o America</em> is a very necessary and spectacular contribution to correcting that great omission." —Kevin Powell, President/CoFounder, BK Nation<br /><br />"Moving, historical, and powerful, the stories, the rhymes, the beats, the moves, the politics, the language, and the love all shine through and gives voice to a critical part of Hip Hop's history—a must read!" —JLove Calderón, activist, social entrepreneur, and transmedia producer
