Hip-Hop (and Other Things)
Arturo Torres
(Illustrator)Description
There's art from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres, there are infographics and footnotes; there's all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the chapters are serious, and some of the chapters are silly, and some of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them, though, are treated with the care and respect that they deserve.
HIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS) is the third book in the (And Other Things) series. The first two--Basketball (And Other Things) and Movies (And Other Things)--were both #1 New York Times bestsellers.

--Booklist Review
Praise for Shea Serrano (And His Other Books):
"Paging through Serrano's Movies (And Other Things) is like taking a long drive at night with a friend; there's that warmth and familiarity where the chat is more important than the fastest route from Point A to Point B. [Movies] is like a textbook gone right; your attention couldn't wander if it tried. With a foreword by John Leguizamo and afterword by Don Cheadle, movie buffs have no excuse not to lose themselves in this oddball book."
--New York Times"...hilarious and insightful..."
--Men's Journal"[Shea Serrano is] America's foremost chronicler of pop minutiae."
--Texas Monthly"Cleverly written and beautifully illustrated...It's a must for any basketball fan."
--Esquire"Even if you're a basketball novice or die-hard Spurs fan like Shea, this is a perfect companion to his Rap Year Book: full of myths, what-ifs, and hyperspecific fanaticism."
--Vulture"Shea Serrano's Basketball (And Other Things) is equal parts hilarious and enlightening...this is the ultimate book on basketball fandom."
--NPR"This quirky, wide-ranging collection of essays, paired with gorgeous art, is a well-informed love letter to hip-hop."--Kirkus
