OFFHIPHOP does what it says on the tin...relating to by it's proximity, but not directly or necessarily IT! tings like spoken word, bmx, art world biznizz, skate stuff, fashion, politics etc. The blog has multiple authors and hopes to pull together a consistent voice that could not be articulated by an individual but instead somehow captures a zeitgeist. we are interested in your content, so please feel free to contact us if you have any ideas that you feel may be relevant.

Roger Gastman & Caleb Neelon stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and knocked one right out the park with this hardcover 400 plus page ode to the worlds oldest & still to some most misunderstood art form. This book is a must have for any and all who have ever applied paint or ink to a surface that was not their own & went for theirs, or for anyone that ever had the desire to do so . What makes "The history of American Graffiti" different is the fact that it's not the same old faces, pretty pieces, & bombed out spaces most people have seen before. No homies you see Roger & Caleb took the time to show some super stylistic love to such cities as Boston, Washington D.C. Philly, and Chicago & so on. . . So wherever your at now or was at BITD best believe this book got your ward,section,side,borough, junction or way covered real tight like on the graff tip, with no delay. "The history of American Graffiti" is a book that will more than hold it's own weight right next to the classics . . . "Subway Art", "DONDI WHITE :Style Master General", & "The Art of Getting Over"
