OUR BOOK
Vom Erfolg der Hip-Hop-Kultur inspirieren lassen: Hip-Hop ist die bedeutendste popkulturelle Strömung unserer Zeit. Rap dominiert die Charts, Streetwear und Sneakers prägen die Mode und aus der Hip-Hop-Kultur entstehen Milliardenunternehmen. Hip-Hop ist Selbstermächtigung, die Überwindung von Klassismus und Rassismus, ein Identifikationsangebot an Millionen.
Phillip Böndel und Tobias Kargoll zeigen in ihrem Buch, wie sich Techniken und Mindset der Hip-Hop-Kultur für persönlichen und unternehmerischen Erfolg nutzen lassen. Auf einer Reise durch die Hip-Hop-Geschichte von den Wurzeln in den USA bis zur Gegenwart in Deutschland wird deutlich, worin der Erfolg der Kultur begründet liegt. Die Geschichten von Szenegrößen wie Specter (Aggro Berlin), Elvir Omerbegovic (Selfmade Records), Kool Savas und Raf Camora aber auch Banksy, Virgil Abloh, Karl Kani, Achraf Ait Bouzalim und Kanye West veranschaulichen die Erfolgsgeheimnisse der Hip-Hop-Kultur.
