anybody ever read this book? somebody just gave it to me as a joke. at least i think it was a joke. it's written by "the black dot", foreword by grandmaster caz. anyway, it looks terrible and i'm debating whether to give it a chance. there's this saying from back in the day about judging, and books, and covers, but i can't quite remember. peep the website: http://www.matrixofhiphop.com/disclaimer - if anyone's involved with the matrix of hip-hop, black dot, or this book, um, i'm just joshin' around

    a snippet from the intro:

    Warning! This book is not for everyone. If you feel that there's nothing wrong wiht the current state of Hip Hop, then this book is not for you. If you feel that gangsta rap, rollin on 20's, violence, drugs and videos with half naked women in them has elevated Hip Hop as an art form; then this book is definitely not for you. But if on the other hand, you feel that turning on your radio and listening to the same rap songs over and over that are laced with negative lyrics, watching soft porn or graphically violent videos, while reading glossy Hip Hop magazines that endorse this way of life has shaped the minds of our youth, and are collectively being used as part of a mind control operation to mentally and spiritually enslave our future generations, then welcome to: Hip Hop Decoded.

    this book is not for soulstrut[/b]

    at times this book will not read like an ordinary book, this was done purposely in an attempt to break your thought patterns into fragments and descramble the Matrix program that we currently operate within which tells us how and what to think, even when it comes to Hip Hop.

    REAL HEADS KNOW! GET YOUR DECODING GAME UP!

    Word and the DVD is Region 2 so you need to decode the DVD in order to decode the book in order to decode....Hip-hop. Deep.

    I'm just glad someone finally put an end to the "what are the 4 elements of hip hop?" debate. They are clearly Air, Fire, Earth and Water

    with a key!
