Yeah I fucking love Shea he's the man.
Also The Rap Yearbook by him is really great.
Something worth mentioning is a book by Shea Serrano called The Rap Year Book. It takes the most important song from each year and talks about it a bunch. It mirrors this list a lot which is cool. Also good art.
Lol well I'm sure he'd love to hear that. He's an author and what you said there sounds like something he'd say on Twitter. Plus he's Mexican and ya know... your username.
He wrote these two books:
Rap Year Book
Basketball (and Other Things)
The second of the two Obama put on his list of favorite things he read in 2017 (I also read it and it's great but I'm not quite as noteworthy as Obama)
You might give this a read. It's more of coffee table material than anything else, but its insightful and fun to read through.
There's a couple Hip Hop History books out there already for anyone interested

I know you've gotten a bunch of suggestions, but I would recommend Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh. The beatboxing/rapping duo was creative, Slick Rick is maybe rap's greatest storyteller, and Rick has two classic songs (Children's Story and La Di Da Di, which has been sampled by just about everybody.
Also I would check out Shea Serrano's Rap Yearbook. Nice little reference for some of rap's most influential songs.

This might not be as detailed as you'd like but I super highly recommend it to anyone who's asking about hip hop history (and likes books): http://www.amazon.com/Rap-Year-Book-Important-Deconstructed/dp/1419718185/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1463667021&sr=1-1&keywords=hip+hop+yearbook
/u/sheaserrano is a bit of an asshole, but his The Rap Year Book has some phenomenal reviews, and I think it really does a good job of giving credence to the early history of the genre.
