THIRD COAST: OutKast, Timbaland, and How Hip-Hop Became a Southern Thing
“An essential document of the last two decades of pop. “
-Paste Magazine
“The pages fly easily, providing reporting from the eye of a mouse-like investigator who divulges many little-known facts on the genre’s biggest stars.
-OffBeat Magazine
“An invaluable addition to any collection of literature on hip hop music. … Fans of Southern hip hop will enjoy seeing their favorite artists finally receiving some of the scholarly and literary attention that they truly deserve. … Third Coast’s contribution of important hip hop texts proves that ‘the South got something to say.’”
-Black Grooves
“Astoundingly well-researched. It is not one of those popular culture books that spew bubblegum facts that fans have encountered before. Sarig uses a variety of sources to authenticate the retelling of the South’s scattered but rich rap history. …Third Coast is scholarly but very readable. One should not be surprised if Third Coast goes on to become one of the standard texts on Southern Hip-Hop. It’s just that comprehensive.”
