About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Derrick Thompson chronicles 30 years of hip-hop; exploring his 30 year relationship with hip-hop music and hip-hop culture. He candidly writes of the elements and trends that have contributed to his love and disdain of hip-hop. The Influenza of Hip-Hop identifies the good, the bad, and the ugly with hip-hop. It also recognizes that for 20 years the true vitality of hip-hop music and culture has been affected and infected by virulent forces, and must avert before succumbing to its scourge.
As a cultural critic, Derrick raises questions tantamount to the severity of problems that exist with hip-hop music and culture. And like a hip-hop shaman, Derrick proffers comprehensive remedies to reverse the curse and course of hip-hop for the next three decades.
As a concerned citizen (ACC), Derrick makes an earnest plea to all hip-hop artists, to the record companies and radio stations, and to the hip-hop nation, to re-examine our love and or displeasure with hip-hop, so that collectively, we can breathe new life back into hip-hop music and culture; serving as the homogenous and cooperative cure to redeem hip-hop to a new elevated consciousness in America and the world.
Deftly constructed at 216 pages, The Influenza of Hip-Hop: Is There A Cure For Its Counter-Culture? is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Music - Rap & Hip Hop category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Influenza of Hip-Hop meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $17.95.

About the Author
Derrick L. Thompson ACC is a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many and matched only by an unrelenting spirit that rises to the task. The Influenza of Hip-Hop is the first book of its kind to realistically address and assess the positive and negative dynamics of hip-hop music and culture. Derrick L. Thompson ACC is A Concerned Citizen whose love of hip-hop has compelled him to write and share his 30-year relationship with hip-hop,, and what he believes has plagued hip-hop music and culture for two decades now. Once a child of hip-hop, Derrick has grown up in 30 years with hip-hop becoming a father of hip-hop; and a father to his two teenage sons who have been affected/infected by the Dark Age of hip-hop. Derrick's goal is to identify, treat, and remedy the ills in hip-hop music and culture before this morbidity kills hip-hop music and culture; engendering the hip-hop nation to heal itself.
