‘Hip Hop Family Tree’ Comics Explain Genesis of the Genre


"They say the story of Jesus is the greatest ever told, but JC didn’t steal a DJ mixer during the New York Blackout of ‘77 or bomb a subway car with Fab 5 Freddy. With his 'Hip Hop Family Tree,' comics artist Ed Piskor delves into the history of hip-hop and gets straight-up biblical, penning a 'who-begat-whom' with a b-boy twist. Subtitled 'A Look into the Viral Propagation of a Culture,' the weekly web comic series, available exclusively at BoingBoing.net, traces the relationships that built hip-hop during its nigh-ancient formative days around the boroughs of New York."
