this is really dope for a few reasons
first of all because when i did a search for hip hop poetry it landed me on your page
second because i didn’t know about this book and now i’m ordering it off of amazon assuming that they have it
i’m really interested in that cd i want to create a book and a cd like this of my own
which leads to my third and final point that i am creating hip hop poetry for all audiences on my blog at http://www.copper30.wordpress.com please feel free to stop by and enjoy
if your class reads my poetry that would be like a dream come true!!

Im an African-American male teacher that heard this on NPR in Sacramento. I think that this helps expose others to poetry and AA culture. I am grateful for you book. I will be using this for oral language fair compitition that our district has (EGUSD).

Thank you

You’re welcome! It’s perfect for browsing, and the selections are unusual.

I love this book. They did an excellent job of including the old and the new
