| | Amazon.com: Queens Reigns Supreme: Fat Cat, 50 Cent, and the Rise of the Hip Hop Hustler: Books: Ethan Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | This engrossing portrait of the trigger-happy hip-hop demimonde explores the origins of the gangsta-rap ethos in southeast Queens, home to legendary narcotics gangs and many of rap's biggest stars, including 50 Cent and Ja Rule. |
 | | The book also provides an interesting look at the early days of Queens hip-hop, including the lack of money being made by the artists involved at the time (the talk of Jay Mizell being so heavily in debt at the time of his death brings the point across pretty clearly). |
 | | Queens Reigns Supreme is a dynamic interesting thrilling journey into the origins of hip hop in Queens New York and their connection with the underworld of drugs and violence. |
