Summary: Ep. 13 - Brian Coleman - Many folks out there know how deep 'The House List' host Peter Agoston's hip-hop roots travel so it's always a treat when he can sit in conversation with a fellow hip-hop journalist/collector. Here Peter and Author/journalist Brian Coleman do just that. You may know Coleman from his books - authoring three definitive hip-hop music tomes in the last 5 years - the self-published 'Rakim Told Me' and 'Check The Technique' (pts 1 and 2) - essential reading from the curious, casual fan to the intellectual inquisitive music-thinker. Funk spelunking at its most thoro. A longtime Boston resident, we dig deep into more than just the music of hip-hop but the worlds of local punk/hardcore/ska. With such ground covered in his books - host Peter Agoston and Coleman cover some key bits on hip-hop's most revered full-lengths.. Brian is also a player in the 'Get On Down' release-series - the cats behind recent Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang and Slum Village 7" box-sets among many others. A must listen for burgeoning music writers and hip-hop heads alike. Ok.. enough bio-typing, just listen!
