Subtitle: Notes on Post-Soul Black Culture
Description: "In this new and expanded edition of this classic collection of essays, Nelson George covers contemporary black culture over the past thirty years in music, film, sports, publishing, fashion, politics, and city life uptown and down. From an obituary for Tupac Shakur, to an investigation into the business of hip hop, to a greeting for Latrell Sprewell and a farewell to Michael Jordan, he updates his take on nearly every arena of black America.

Introducing roisterous rappers and legendary hoopsters, streetwise hustlers and influential filmmakers, unsung musicians impassioned politicians and crack dealers, George's vibrant work clearly remains the definitive take on modern African American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
