"Bill Bellamy went against the grain and left a promising corporate career path to pursue comedy (much to the dismay of his family). In TOP BILLIN', Bill reflects on his time at MTV during the 90s, where the cable music channel was at the epicenter of pop culture. Bellay recounts his legendary interviews with Tupac, Biggie, and Kurt Cobain, to ultimately befriending Janet Jackson, to coining the infamous term "booty call" on HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Bellamy broke color and class barriers during his time as a staple on MTV, appearing on the network four times a week of numerous MTV programs, including MTV Jamz and MTV Beach House. TOP BILLIN' provides an exclusive, all-access backstage pass to conversations with some of the decade's biggest artists, the best of the 90s celebri-tea, nostalgia, and insights on what it meant to be a tastemaker during one of the most exciting and innovative moments in music and American pop cultural history"--Provided by publisher.
