This book is not terrible, but I am not the targeted audience. I could see that this book would be nice to have for younger people, the teens through twenties. And especially for fans of rap and the hip hop genre. I only knew a few of the people in this book. There were a lot that I had never heard of, but my 19-year-old son knew a lot of them. I plan on giving him this book, and he seemed excited to receive it. I did appreciate that there were quite a few females in here. It sometimes seems like the hip hop/rap genre forgets about women, but this book had almost half that were female. I liked that there are different chapters divided up by different aspects of lives and each chapter had 4 or more "life lessons" by a different person. Like I said, I'm not the targeted audience, but I really feel like there are other people that would really enjoy this book.
