Editorial Reviews

Learn about the lifestyle, music, and big names of the hip-hop scene in this edition of “The Music Scene” series! Readers can discover how graffiti, bling and Air Force Ones play a part in defining the hip-hop lifestyle. This educational book describes what it takes to make a hip-hop record; details the big players in the industry such as Kanye West, Beyonce, and Outkast; and explains how to break into the hip-hop world. By using relevant characters and interesting sidebars, the authors make this informative book even more appealing to its young audience. However, the choice of colors, pictures, and crowded layout of this book resemble an educational book from the 80s, which may turn students away before they even read the information. This book would be a great resource in a library or school for those eager to learn more about hip-hop or who are interested in writing a report on the hip-hop scene. Includes glossary, timeline, and suggested further reading., Children's Literature
