Last year I read the book ' Can't Stop, Won't Stop' by Jeff Chang which is about the proper history of hip hop.Some of it is rather challenging - especially the later chapters - and does tend to go too much into the socio-economics a little too much.

The Cactus Album was also important because it proved to the hip-hop heads that white kids could play along without appropriating or bastardizing the culture. Not every single idea plays out successfully - Serch's Tom Waits impression on "Flippin' Off the Wall." is on the wrong side of the taste line, and "Desert Boots" is a puzzling Western-themed insertion - but they are at least interesting stretches that add to the dense, layered texture of the album. The duo may not have come from the streets, but their hearts were there, and it shows.
