Since rising out of the New York City streets over twenty-five years ago, Russell Simmons has helped create such groundbreaking ventures as Def Jam Records, Phat Farm, and Def Comedy Jam. Russell might have helped introduce hip-hop to the world, but he credits his success to his belief in a strong set of principles—or laws. In twelve straightforward steps, Russell reveals a path that can be followed by anyone struggling to realize their dreams. Russell’s laws stem from the belief that it’s impossible to receive any sort of lasting success from the world without giving something of lasting value to the world first. Blending business insight, universal spiritual truths, and an inspired sense of purpose, Do You! crosses the lines of age, race, and background, with wisdom that will lift you up and motivate you to pursue your vision.

Avant l''apparition du CD et de la vidéo, les pochettes d''albums offraient au grand public des invitations colorées à entrer dans le monde exotique du ska, du rocksteady et du reggae jamaïcains. Des tout premiers disques de ska au dancehall des années 80, Reggae présente un florilège de cet art populaire. Pochettes célèbres et moins connues s''y côtoient : on y trouvera celles des Wailers (dont faisait partie un certain Bob Marley pas encore " dread "), des Mighty Diamonds, de Steel Puise, de Linton Kwesi Johnson et de Yellowman : autant d''aperçus hauts en couleurs des modes comme des préoccupations politiques et religieuses qui ont façonné le reggae. Si ces pochettes font souvent allusion à des problèmes graves - rastafarisme, panafricanisme, apocalypse nucléaire -, elles révèlent également au travers de leurs hommages au western, à la danse et aux joies de la " ganja ", le côté plus léger et festif du reggae. Etonnant voyage visuel à travers l''histoire de ce genre musical. Reggae permet également de découvrir, grâce à de nombreuses anecdotes, les dessous de la création, et de décoder, par une lecture thématique de ces images, leur force souvent emblématique et symbolique.
