In his book, 'Tupac, Biggie and Dinosaur Killing Asteroids,' Gary C. Booker, a science teacher and hip-hop fan, draws a parallel between the history of hip-hop music and culture and the natural history of life on Earth. The book consists of four essays that explore this comparison. The central idea is that the evolution of hip-hop, with its distinct eras and the rise and fall of influential artists, mirrors the mass extinctions and subsequent evolutionary changes seen in the fossil record. Booker’s essays highlight 'game-changing' moments in hip-hop and liken them to pivotal events in Earth’s history that shaped the course of life. The title itself suggests a comparison between the impact of artists like Tupac and Biggie on the hip-hop landscape and the cataclysmic event of an asteroid causing a mass extinction that ended the age of dinosaurs.
