In Dead Precedents, Roy Christopher traces the story of how hip-hop
invented the twenty-first century. Emerging alongside cyberpunk in the
1980s, the hallmarks of hip-hop - allusion, self-reference, the use of
new technologies, sampling, the cutting and splicing of language and
sound - would come to define the culture of the new millennium.Taking in
the groundbreaking work of DJs and MCs, alongside writers like Dick and
Gibson, as well as graffiti and DIY culture, Dead Precedents is a
counter-culture history of the twentieth century, showcasing hip-hop's
role in the creation of the world we now live in.
