Riassunto

Secretly dreaming of sporting metal-rap 'ho or masta' pimp fashions? Can't turn the music up loud enough? Angry for no apparent reason? Constantly feel the need to break something? Or would you do it all for the nookie? If you've just answered yes to all these questions you're worthy of the label "mook," a term that has its roots in hip-hop and has evolved into its own popular and provocative form of music.

From urban skater-kids to suburban mid-Western teens this genre of music has transcended all social and economic levels to become the "it" music for a post-grunge generation. A cutting edge category that is ferocious, in your face, and brutally honest, mockdom is becoming the sound of the century.

This book documents the fusion of metal, rock, and hip-hop stomping the airwaves and making teen pop-queens cry. Find out how the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy laid the foundation and why the media made instant stars out of today's well-known acts such as Eminem, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Shootyz Groove, 311, Orange 9mm, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, and others. Pimps, trailer trash, and attitude problems--love them or hate them these are the new crossover pop-stars; see them "fully exposed" in this gritty and intensely illustrated celebration on the family tree of metal-rap.
