This volume introduces superstars like NWA, The Beastie Boys, Doug E Fresh, KRS One, ICE T, and early Public Enemy.

I really like the shift in inking and coloring when the story shifts from the past to remarks from participants in the present.
Hip-Hop Family Vol. 2 is finally getting to some artist I know about. The history goes deep and explains how further down artist were influenced by artist from 1981-1983. This volume is focusing on Hip-Hop right before it became really huge and known everywhere in the nation and its great to see how it build up and is about to explode.
