Defining the Hip-Hop Art Phenomenon

Tags: Adidas, Bill Adler, Cey Adams, Hip-Hop, The Source magazine

From graffiti on the sides of subway trains to the Sean John Logo, from Flava Flav’s clocks to shell toed Adidas; Hip-Hop designer Cey Adam’s latest book(with Bill Adler): Definition: the Art and Design of Hip-Hop is “a celebration of the visual impact of Hip-Hop.”

Definition is a collection of over 200 images and essays which offer an in-depth look into the contributions of Hip-Hop as a visual art form and the influence of Hip-Hop artists in the shaping of popular culture over the past 35 years.

The collection not only chronicles the permeation of Hip-Hop into the world around us but also highlights some of the best examples of Hip-Hop inspired art from the fashion, media and fine art industries.

Available at Amazon.com, Definition: the Art and Design of Hip-Hop is a must have for the true Hip-Hop enthusiast. By Michael Ahene
