The Music Producers Handbook (another book in Bobby Owsinskis successful Handbook series) describes in detail the duties and responsibilities of a music producer. In his thoughtful; down-to-earth; and savvy style; Bobby O. brings his wealth of experience to bear in answering the questions faced by all budding music producers: How do I become a producer? How do I get the best out of the musicians or vocalist? How do I get a great mix? How much money can I make? Covering the entire range of producer concerns; from organizing each phase of the production to mastering the final mix; The Music Producers Handbook takes a sometimes intimidating and mystifying process and breaks it down to an entertaining tutorial that will fatten the toolkits of professionals as well as novices. As with all the books in the Handbook series; a third of the book is dedicated to exclusive interviews with name producers who share their techniques and stories with the reader. An accompanying DVD takes the viewer through each phase of the production process.

Basically Flav is saying that he was a crack-head long before. during. and long after P.E.s peak. This is the band that sung "Night of the Living Base Heads"! I guess Chuck was really talking about Flav that whole time... (A guy at work said to me. "We all knew - he was skinny and always acting all messed up. of *course* that guy was on crack!!" Shows what I know...)But. I also read this book in about 3 hours. which is suspiciously fast. He tells quick little vignettes of touring with Tupac and Slick Rick. but thats all you get. little quickies. and hes out. The entire book is this way. Im not a fan of reality tv. so I never watched any of Flavs shows. But. a reality series based on Flav looking for love. when it turns out he already HAD a true love somewhere else...? Im sensing a pattern here.This man is *ALWAYS* running game. Thats the bottom line. And hes likable for that reason. but this book is kind of like watching a Jerry Springer kind of show - those people always start out affable and reasonable. but talk to them for 20 minutes. and the story starts morphing. and new things are added. and suddenly theyre asking to borrow money. etc.Not to hate on Mr. Flav. But hes running game 24/7. thats how it is. and this book is evidence. Its NOT satisfying. its not fullfilling. its like a reality TV show. or a Star magazine. you get shocks and oohs and ahhhs. but then its over and youre just as empty as when it started.What is IS though. is honest. I hope he does another one someday. with the same honesty. but more depth.Or. maybe theres not any more depth to Flavor Flav? I personally doubt that...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good stories. but Flav seems a bit obliviousBy Mitchell KingThe good: always interesting and entertaining. The bad: Flav tends to play the victim card when facing some of the consequences of his own bad choices. Regardless. its mostly a story of redemption and on that front it delivers. Fun read. Dudes got some stories youve gotta read to believe.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The best book Ive read in yearsBy Matthew SedraThe book flavor flav: the icon the memoir is a great book for numerous reasons like its the true story of flavs life as well as letting ever person that reads it into his life from childhood until now the book does kind of jump around and back and forth but there is parts of the book where I can actually hear flav I read the first chapter the night I got the book Im now writing this review the following night and I have almost completed the entire book (which I will have done by the end of the night) its 100% a must read
