| Abstract | Russell Simmons, born and bred on the streets of Queens, New York, is one of today's most influential figures in American business and culture. Before most of America had even heard of it, Simmons saw in hip-hop the seeds of a global force that would change the way people talk, dress, and live - and he took the vision and turned it into a cultural revolution. Life and Def is more than the story of Simmon's rise - it's a blueprint for creating an industry and changing the world. |
