...look like the marketing for, say, the corporate thrillers of Joseph Finder. Funkmaster Flex, the hip-hop evangelist, is closer to the flavor. K'wan's reading audience is loyal--he has more than 400,000 books in print. But titles like Gangsta, Road Dawgz and his latest, Hood Rat, have captured an audience well outside St. Martin's usual purview. So instead of signings at Barnes & Noble, St. Martin's is planning giveaways and readings in barber shops and beauty salons. There will be ads on urban radio and an official Hood Rat mix tape...

The cuff's unique tendons apply muscular forces which stabilize and greatly strengthen the movement of your arm. (Remember tendons are the attachments of muscles...
...murder (and the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. six months later), mainstream rap has moved away from this narrative tradition. Party songs have replaced protest songs on albums and radio playlists. Boasts and threats are more plentiful than captivating tales about life in the ’hood. Chuck D from Public Enemy once referred to rap as “the black CNN” because of the way rappers reported on conditions in black urban areas. Now rap might be called “the black E!” because songs contain more fluff than substance...
