Bill Adler on golden age of Def Jam

One day I want to go to New York and hang out with Bill Adler. Dude has seen it all. School yourself on when hiphop blew up.

"Elite Daily had an exclusive opportunity to dig deep into The Adler Archives, sit down with the man who possesses encyclopedia-level knowledge of hip hop, and talk the past, present, and future of the culture.

Be sure to check out the video, and to learn more about the history of Def Jam, chcek out Bill Adler’s book, “Def Jam: The First 30 Years of the Last Great Record Label,” co-written by Dan Charnas."
