This was a pretty good book, It's a Biography About Ice Cube and its very detailed in showing steps in his career and how he began , It doesn't just talk about his music it talks about his life also which was cool to see , Biographies are usually boring and drag on but this one wasn't and that's why I rated it as 5 stars, Ice Cube isn't afraid to voice his opinion and this book clearly shows that.
(Page 21) "The music is colorless , Hip-Hop music is made from black, brown, yellow, red white" As a white rapper that quote has alot of meaning to it , Discrimination is a hard part of rap to deal with , everyone thinks you have to be African-American just to make rap music, it's really just a genre people, racism is the most pointless thing on the planet , A person is A person , skin color is just the outside of the person , it says absolutely nothing about how that person is.
this book relates to what we are learning in class because it is like a memoir accept it is a biography, it shows what the person has gone through to form the career we know today.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes rap or likes Ice Cube , because the entire book is about rap / Ice Cube.
