Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists is more popular than racism! Hip hop is huge, and it's time someone wrote it all down. And got it all right.

This book sure lives up to its name. There are hundreds of offbeat and informative lists. The one thing that impressed me was that it doesn't really lean toward any particular period or area. The editors do a good job in informing readers about hiphop from all the geographic areas and eras. For the hiphop fan, this is a must have. For the inexperienced, it's a good place to start learning about hiphop's roots. (

I never tire of reading this. Every time I do, I learn something new. Pity they couldn't match the quality on the Big Book Of Racism. (
