let's start an official hip hop readin' thread. books related to hip hop or by hip hop artists

[Travellin' Man]

here's a couple that i thought were all great, feel free to add on though

ll cool j's "i make my own rules" is a great read

michael dyon's "born to use mics" is a great read too

sacha jenkins' "ego trippin" is one of my favorites

 

[The Ruler 09]

I read Diary Of A Mad Man by Scarface recently, dope shyt.

The Gospel Of Hip Hop by KRS-One is a must for those serious about Hip Hop to me.

And I think all MC's should have There's A God On The Mic by Kool Moe Dee, not because you agree or disagree with the list but because it gives you some guidelines and an appreciation of the craft.

For entertainment purposes, Prodigy's audiobook is hilarious, one of the Ice T books I've got is dope too (audiobook again), The Ice Opinion it might be called.

I've got countless Hip Hop related books though.
