  Derided as one-hit wonders, estranged from their original producer and  record label, and in self-imposed exile in Los Angeles, the Beastie Boys  were written off by most observers before even beginning to record  their second album - an embarrassing commercial flop that should have  ruined the group's career. But not only did "Paul's Boutique" eventually  transformed the Beasties from a fratboy novelty to hiphop giants, its  sample-happy, retro aesthetic changed popular culture forever.

  Chronicling Stankonia - The Rise...

  This vibrant book pulses with the beats of a new American South, probing the ways music, literature, and film have remixed southern identities for a post–civil rights generation. For scholar and critic Regina N. Bradley, Outkast’s work is the touchstone, a blend of funk, gospel, and hip-hop developed in conjunction with the work of other culture creators—including T.I., Kiese Laymon, and Jesmyn Ward. This work, Bradley argues, helps define new cultural possibilities for black southerners who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s and have used hip-hop culture to buffer themselves from the historical narratives and expectations of the civil rights era. André 3000, Big Boi, and a wider community of creators emerge as founding theoreticians of the hip-hop South, framing a larger question of how the region fits into not only hip-hop culture but also contemporary American society as a whole. 
   
  Chronicling Stankonia reflects the ways that culture, race, and southernness intersect in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although part of southern hip-hop culture remains attached to the past, Bradley demonstrates how younger southerners use the music to embrace the possibility of multiple Souths, multiple narratives, and multiple points of entry to contemporary southern black identity.

  Is That True Or Did You Hear It...

  What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays - to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with ‘speaking truth to power’ – a true champion of the underdog. 
   
  However, as David Sedgwick reveals in his new book the reality is somewhat different: not only does the BBC diligently protect power from scrutiny, it attacks and attempts to discredit those who dare to challenge the status quo. 
   
  Formed in 1922 by the British establishment, the BBC has always been a reliable ally of ultra-wealthy and powerful interests. Indeed, the broadcaster occupies a pivotal position within an international corporate-political alliance which promotes only those narratives which consolidate the ‘global order.’ 
   
  Using multiple examples of BBC reporting, the author argues that the tax-payer funded broadcaster is a proxy which acts on behalf of a tiny, but very powerful clique - a role which compels it to pump out disinformation on an industrial scale, misleading all those who consume its content.

  In The Chosen – Book Three, you will discover Jesus' followers being changed by His power, authority, and love.

Because when you're out of your depth, wholly depending on God, awesome things happen like seas parting, and giants falling, and lions purring, and armies resurrecting, and Jesus being glorified through the lives of those who are willing to follow Him wherever He goes.
