Buy the book. - I have read quite a few books in my 27 years of life and very few make me feel like I could really sit down and talk with the author. This book is one of them. I'm a casual Hip Hop fan. What does this mean? I get the vast majority of my music for free.99. Of course I also have an active Google Play account because I forgot about it after the trial membership 6 months ago and...'sec let me cancel that. Alright, back to the review. As I stated, I'm a casual fan. I'll buy an album here and there but I don't invest a lot of money into the genre any more (personal reasons). I am still in love with the culture and the craft. Just not that in love enough to spend money on a lot of it. So, why does any of this matter? Because, even as a casual, I still enjoy this book and if I enjoy it I'm sure the Hip Hop Heads would absolutely adore it. Talking about the people that are salivating over the idea of Vinyl Kendrick albums, btw. Full disclosure: I've only read through the first Chapter but I can tell this is going to be a great ride. This guy is entertaining and really comes off as one of the guy's you can have a conversation with on a lazy Saturday afternoon. That's really what this book is, anyway. A conversation piece. I can tell from the outset that I wont agree with everything this man lists but I am sure he'll make a pretty compelling argument for his decisions. So buy this book. I first bought it on Kindle, read the first chapter and then ordered a physical copy. It's that good. Bonus Points: Listen to the song for each chapter before reading it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,513 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Rap Music (Books) #30 in Rap & Hip-Hop Musician Biographies #50 in Music History & Criticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,822 Reviews | ## Images ![The Rap Year Book: The Most Important Rap Song From Every Year Since 1979, Discussed, Debated, and Deconstructed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ybtVKe8HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for over 18 year olds *by P***S on September 5, 2025* The book was great (interesting & informative) but not appropriate for an elementary school library ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why are you reading this?
