McClairne has done it again! The same author that brought America "Wake Up America (Attack on America)" has surprised us all again with his genius. Tupac and Elvis (Inevitably Restless) is a new hot book for the new millennium. This book of commemoration surpasses all the biographies that are on shelves and the biographies that have been on shelves in the past. It has gotten great recognition, reviews, and great acclaims. No other book compares and no other book captures the essences of two phenomenon artists the way this book does. This is not your regular or ordinary biography. No, this book is quite diverse from others and is full of controversy.

In the book, McClairne links the deaths of Tupac Amaru Shakur and Elvis Aaron Presley in a way that's astounding and a way that many wouldn't have ever thought of. He also links their unlinked lives. McClairne depicts and paints a picture of Tupac that's quite contrary to what the much older "White America" saw him as and depicts Elvis as the true "King" that he is and was, which is very opposite to what many of "Black America" thinks and feels.

The "Seven Day Theory" and other theories that plagues Tupac's death are discussed and the author explains why Tupac's death wasn't a fraudulent death. Artists, such as Michael Jackson, Jackie Wilson, Madonna, the Jackson 5, Jada Pinkett, Britney Spears, Usher Raymond, N'Sync, James Brown, and Ja Rule, are also mentioned in regards to Tupac and Elvis, so sit back and enjoy.

There are several clubs that have nurtured the music and many individuals who have upheld the art form in the shadow of DC's popular music, go-go. Priest do Nomad is one of these formidable MC's who kept the torch lit. This is the story in historical, musicological and anthropological context.

By looking at Priest da Nomad (an underground hip-hop MC) through his various performances, relationships, and compositions, we may be able to understand more clearly what goes on in the life of an underground hip-hop artist and find out what informs his perspective vis-à-vis other pop hip-hop artists. This will also give us a chance to investigate the apparent links between the Africanisms that exist in all other forms of Afro-Diasporic expressions such as jazz, blues, reggae, calypso, Latin music and compare and contrast them with hip-hop.
