Along these lines, there is a graphic novel coming out called Hip Hop Family Tree that tells this origin story. I've read parts of it as it has bee serialized on Boing Boing, and it is informative and entertaining.

This is a really interesting story. I had heard about it but really got it when I read: http://www.amazon.com/Hip-Hop-Family-Tree-Book/dp/1606996908
If you like going deep into the start of hiphop, I really recommend that comic. It's great.

Damn this is really dope, would love to cop that Luv(sic) Hexalogy.

The Japanese Hip-Hop manga is actually just a Japanese translation of Hip-Hop Family Tree by Ed Piskor so you can check that out if it piqued your interests.

I haven't seen this in person, but the Hip Hop Family Tree graphic novels look really awesome and I'd be excited to receive one.

Comics and hip hop, and now that I've looked, I think I got it.

Not a dumb question at all. In my opinion, it's best to think of Graphic Novels as a completely separate medium from books. So you can have fiction and non-fiction books, the same way you can have fiction and non-fiction movies (documentaries), the same way you can have fiction and non-fiction Graphic Novels.

Most non-fiction graphic novels are either memoirs like Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant and Persepolis, or biographies like My Friend Dahmer. There is old historical stuff like Gettysburg, and even graphic novels about The History of Hip Hop.

It's definitely a niche genre within a niche medium, but it has its audience!

Source: Hip Hop Family Tee by Ed Piskor. A really cool series if you're interested in the origins of hip hop and rap. There's a bunch of them online at boing boing, or they've been published in book form by Fantagraphics, or of course you can get them from Amazon.

This story and lots of other good ones about the early days are included in Hip Hop Family Tree. You can read it for free at Boing Boing too.
