### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Rosetta Stone of Rap
*by P***L on January 8, 2011*

I want to start off by saying: I never used to be a rap fan. I've always loved the sound (the "beats"), but I've never understood what the music is really saying! It's never been out of lack of effort either. I mean, I've tried to understand for YEARS, generally by consulting my grandma (who's been NO HELP whatsoever), but also by playing the music in reverse, because I've heard that's a way to find hidden meaning in songs.Well, ALL THAT HAS CHANGED. Now that I've purchasd this book, I've had a reason to visit her EVERY WEEK, and together we sit on her "davenport" (that's what she calls her sofa) and peruse this fine piece of literature. This is like the Rosetta Stone of rap music. I can now confidently say that both my grandma and I can listen to various rap songs that we've never heard before and understand what's going on! I even rapped about instant grocery savings the other day, because I was so stoked to save $5.83 with my QFC Advantage Card (that was 38% in savings, yo).I wish I could give this book six stars, because Amazon would send me an email telling me I can only give five stars and then I would give my grandma the other star, because she is great and, not to mention, a mighty fine rapper herself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Gift for any Hip Hop Head
*by S***E on August 18, 2019*

Been a Hip Hop head since the soundtrack to Beat Street dropped. I got this book as a gift for my older Brother, who absolutely loves it. Of course I had a chance to check it out first. Ridiculously funny, and I love the choices that they made for the lyrics they translated. Awesome book, makes a terrific gift, I recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked for me
*by C***I on April 7, 2011*

Rap has interested me artistically for a long time, but unfortunately I've never much understood the words and usually there was no one around to ask, "What are they saying?" UNDERSTANDING RAP has changed that: now I know what they're saying, why they're saying it, and as a useful corollary, why there are very good reasons for the performers wearing huge t-shirts, top quality sneakers, and carrying assorted weapons. Although the explanations in Standard English are a bit convoluted, they make fairly clear the opinions and feelings of the performers and their audience. On a planet where it is better if everyone at least makes an effort to get along moderately well, UNDERSTANDING RAP is a useful little handbook to have along for the ride.
