Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists

May 13, 2005

If you’re into hip-hop, or just looking for an interesting, funny and remarkably informative coffee table book, Ego Trip’s Book of Rap Lists is perfect.

I actually read it front-to-back, which should say something considering my short attention span and the fact that it really is more of a pick-it-up-read-and-discuss type book. It covers, in great detail, the history of rap, with all sorts of great stories, anicdotes and sidebars, from its origin to 1999 or so.

It’s been called “A must-have for any rap aficionado.” by Russell Simmons, and “The best book I’ve ever read-and I can’t read!” by Chris Rock.

Sounds like a good recommendation to me.
