Everybody's Fly: A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture by Fab 5 FreddyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love hip hop, and I love all things "old" NYC (1970s-early 90s) and this book is all about both of those things. I knew about Freddy's early hip hop roots and in the last few years, learned of his activity in the art world. What I didn't know is that he connected rap, film, art, street culture all together with his friends. He didn't invent the phrase Hip Hop, but he did champion it as rap + culture. What a wonderful read and it flew by. Easily my non-fiction book of the year.
