Jeff Chang Is Superior

Sorry whoever's day it is to blog. But this is some important stuff!

After reading a review on Jeff Chang's book in my beloved Entertainment Weekly (they gave him an A-), I emailed him and told him, Hyphen loves the Asian American Male Pop Music Critics (or AAMPMCs: a term coined by Oliver Wang).

Yo, Jeff's book, Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-hop Generation is officially on sale today! Better go get your copy.

All the buzz I'm hearing on it has been fantastic. I'm very excited for him, and excited for hip-hop (if that makes any sense). (I know, I know. It's very "I Used to Love H.E.R."ish. But I know people out there feel me on that.)

Next week, kicking off on February 8th, Jeff will start a book signing tour. To find out where he's going to be and when, click here. Go to a signing with a pre-purchased book, or buy your book at the signing, and you'll also get a free mixtape loaded with Quannum and old school tunes, mixed by DJ Icewater (don't call him "Manila Ice") and DJ D-Sharp.

Yay, Jeff! Gloat all you want.

Addendum: Although I already pre-ordered a copy of Jeff's book on Amazon.com, I couldn't wait to actually get it in my hands. I went to Barnes & Noble and had to ask for the book, because it hadn't been stocked on the shelves yet. Never in my life have I ever been so excited to read through a book that was as thick as one of my college textbooks! Mad props to Jeff for accomplishing such a feat as writing this book. I cannot wait to finish reading it!

the story, since corrected, had three major mistakes in it. nerissa is usually a good writer, too. I was surprised.
