Solid. The prediction about Reggaeton was prescient. The prediction about DJ's being BACK? Not quite.

It wasn't the best book I've read. Definitely not my favorite; the information is so limited concerning the hip-hop music genre. I feel it's also biased towards rap itself. Sure there are good sections of the book, but for the most part it's all "This artist accomplished this" or "Did you know?" But it's whatever. 3/5.
