Ego Trips Book of Rap Lists is more popular than racism! Hip hop is huge; and its time someone wrote it all down. And got it all right. With over 25 aggregate years of interviews; and virtually every hip hop single; remix and album ever recorded at their disposal; the highly respected Ego Trip staff are the ones to do it. The Book of Rap Lists runs the gamut of hip hop information. This is an exhaustive; indispensable and completely irreverent bible of true hip hip knowledge.

A vivid portrait of the authors motherBy sally tarboxA beautiful little book - one wants to pigeonhole it as biography (of his mother); but its much more a work of literature than that.Barrie looks back on his life in Scotland; with his numerous siblings - though all but two remain nameless - and his parents. His father is barely mentioned; for it is his mother who seems to have been the centre of the authors life.In early chapters we see the heartbreak she went through on the death of Barries elder brother; while away at school:"I heard a listless voice that had never been listless before say Is that you? I think the tone hurt me; for I made no answer; and then the voice said more anxiously Is that you? again. I thought it was the dead boy she was speaking to; and I said in a little lonely voice; No; its no him; its just me. Then I heard a cry; and my mother turned in bed; and though it was dark I knew that she was holding out her arms."But Mother is not just a tragic or saintly character; for Barrie brings out in full her humorous character; whether devouring works by his rival; RL Stevenson (covertly - "you must remember that she only read it to persuade herself (and me) of its unworthiness; and that the reason she wanted to read the others was to get further proof.") or in her refusal to stay in bed when ill.Both beautiful and gently amusing; I found this a book that grew on me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book. This book really makes you understand JBy KatieGreat book. This book really makes you understand J.M. Barrie. He worked so hard to gain the attention of his mother and it really helps you understand the significance of having a mother from the story in Peter Pan. No problems with this purchase.
