> You mean his ghostwritters.
I find 99% of the time people are shocked how intelligent and lucid MattyB is
Oh god...
>MattyB is one of the most inspirational figures in today's hip pop scene. Combining soothing flows and sick beats, he creates songs that kick ass and take names. So who thought that this kid could write?
Marty's latest book, "That's a Rap", has a simple yet gripping message for the youth: follow your dreams unless they involve violence against minorities. Writing about his hard times on the streets of LA, Matty B has created something hard to read but even harder to put down. 8/8.
Hip Hop Speaks to Children is a children's book that uses selected hip hop songs (and lyrics) from everyone from Young MC to Kanye to Queen Latifah to Aesop Rock as well as poetry from Langston Hughes and Nikki Giovanni to tell a thoughtful and meaningful story about growing up as a kid. I used it in a classroom that I was student teaching in earlier this year and the kids absolutely LOVED it. It comes with a CD with all the tracks included on it. It was a rural Illinois school so it introduced the kids to a side of music and a culture that they really hadn't seen before. Fantastic book. If you have kids and want to get them to read and love hip hop, I highly suggest it.
You have to read the reviews on this book - they're just incredible. https://www.amazon.com/Thats-Rap-MattyB/dp/1501133799
