Snaps is the first book ever to present the funniest, rudes, most creative insults from a unique African-American comic art form. Also known as signifying, joning, and playing the dozens, snapping is as old as the blues and as cutting-edge as hip hop and rap. The book features more than 450 snaps direct from the streets as well as from celebritites. This book will make you laugh out loud--and give you verbal ammunition for the next time someone tries to snap on you. Monteria and I (Stephan Dweck) created our three snap books to be real and authentic. Our books are a tribute to all of our friends and homeboys we grew up with snaping all day, on the park bench, at the NYC Fredrick Douglas Houses. Snaps, Double Snaps and Triple Snaps, truly represents the true art of verbal warfare found in any hood. Enjoy! Snaps creator James Percelay is a former television development executive at Hearst Entertainment and film producer at Saturday Night Live. He is the executive producer of Snaps the Movie and is developing a comedy series with Fox.
