Best Books on Hip-Hop

[Mac Casper]

Jake Brown writes a good series of books . . usually highlighting their studio work

I've read just about every Tupac book published cover to cover, the only one I hadn't read is one of those newer ones but I glanced through it and realized it was a reiteration of the stuff I had read prior so I would be getting nothing more than second hand information so I put the book down in the store

This book was quite interesting . . I remember being particularly enthralled by it


I've just ordered his book about Dr. Dre . . this will be the second book about Dr. Dre I've read, the first one was one by his assistant called Rollin Wit Dre . . it's a very decent book with a lot of insights

Jerry Heller wrote a book called Ruthless: A Memoir - highly recommended. It's a really great book. Really well written and it will grab your attention. Lowkey a lot of Straight Outta Compton (The movie) was based on this book

I hope we get an autobiography from Suge Knight on the Death Row years, I don't expect any accuracies but the quotes will be

Then there's this one - just got it in the mail . . should be some great stuff in here



He's also written one about Jay Z and Prince, I'd get the Prince one but I'm currently reading a Prince biography and I have two to get to already



I really would like a book about Mac Dre but there's a few reasons I don't think that would ever happen - one is that there really isn't that much information available to the public but it could be a really great story if someone were to do the interviews

I also want to say that Michael Eric Dyson's book is probably the worst book ever written on hip-hop . . and for some reason it came out at a time where if you were looking for a Tupac book this was the one that was forced down your throat but it's barely a book about Tupac and is nothing more than a compilation of this man's redundant philosophies

Have you read Pieces to Weight ?

I met 50 Cent a few weeks back and wanted to mention it . . but I mentioned Power of the Dollar instead

The book "Have Gun, Will Travel" about Death Row was a fun read.

That guy is so corny when it comes to Pac and tries way too hard to make everything about him have some deep meaning.

“Every time Mike Tyson throws a punch in the ring, Tupac is mentally throwing a punch at all of the furious contradictions that represent the knot that is his life.”
