okay got some good people in there but I wouldn’t buy it – I know about this shit already but for yall young cats that got those dreams and need direction – this is a book worth buying.
…ForewOrd?
On this site, dudes don’t seem to know too much, or have a lot of insight on G rap or Kane..
If you truely want to know the definition of MC. there it is!!
These new and yung rappers need to read the book, they can learn a lot from the old school rappers, they were original and crafty with their shit
the book?… shit! “A” book would do em good
Nice to see they went to a true legend for a foreward rather than some dumb-ass.
G Rap still a better rhymer than some new cats out there if not all.
i would say all, bro.
only RAKIM is better, i.m.o.
