"Critical Beatdowns"

When it comes to Hip Hop journalism, the majority of fools approach it like the associated press...Who, what, when, why, how?.........That format is very corny, and sterile when it comes to getting critical, investigative information..........Hip Hop journalism {in my opinion} is at it's best when the actual participants {artist} give their point of view..........That's why this book "Making Beats", is a keeper.......The writer { Joseph Schloss} hits up various producers Vitamin D, Jake One, Supreme, Soulman, Specs, Kool Akiem, etc, with descent questions and allows them to speak their minds freely..............The only problem I have with the book is that he focuses mainly on Pacific north western producers...........If he would have interviewed a wider spectrum of producers, the book would have a better balance....................Check 4 it......5000
