381 - Four-Color Flashback: Hip Hop Family Tree

Paul and Arlo are in the place to be, rapping about Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree. For the latest Four-Color Flashback installment, our nerdy white heroes take on nerdy white cartoonist Piskor's quartet (so far) of graphic novels discussing the history of hip hop culture. The boys discuss Piskor's art, equally indebted to underground comix and superhero books of the '70s and '80s; how the physical editions beautifully replicate the aesthetics of the time period; how Piskor captures the rhythm and fluidity of DJs and breakdancers; and what in the hell he's got against Russell "Rush" Simmons.   Next: Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is Family-friendly entertainment.
