Foundation: B-boys, B-girls and Hip-Hop Culture in New York is a book by Joseph G. Schloss which looks at b-boying and the culture surrounding it.^[1] It features excerpts from interviews the author did with major figures in the b-boying world such as Ken Swift of Rock Steady Crew, Alien Ness, and Trac 2.^[2]

Joseph Schloss is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Black and Latino Studies and Sociology at City University of New York^[3] and also lecturers at Princeton University. Schloss attended every b-boy event in New York City for five years, learning b-boying as he researched the book.^[4]

The book makes arguments against other hip-hop non-fiction books, mainly saying they do not engage the actual hip-hop/b-boy communities enough when doing scholarship of this kind.^[4]

Reception

The Boston Globe calls it "the best work ever produced on b-boying, and one of the finest books yet to emerge from the swiftly proliferating ranks of hip-hop scholarship".^[4] It has also received positive reviews from Liberator Magazine and Jeff Chang.^[2]
