review 1: Sometimes you read a book solely to expose yourself to something new. This quick collection of chapters explains the meaning of various phrases found in popular rap songs. It goes without saying that some of the content is adult. The explanations are written very formally, which is funny at first but then quickly gets old. I definitely learned some things I didn't know, though it's worth realizing that one reason for the continually evolving slang is to exclude most people from the meaning. This work is an interesting choice for an author who credits a strong Christian belief in their bio.
review 2: As humorous as it is enlightening - author categorically presents lyrical rap jargon then provides overly-verbose, tongue-in-cheek translations. Admittedly, befo... morere reading this book I was Ebonically challenged. Now, I am supremely equipped to call all the shots, rip all the spots, rock all the rocks, and cop all the drops, play by play and day by day, know-whut-I'm-sayin'? If not, read this book. less
