As Good as youd think it would beBy Patrick EllisonI was so happy when I heard she was coming to Power 105 as I was not the biggest Hot 97 fan and was equally excited for this book to come out. Im a fast reader and as soon as this downloaded to my kindle;I dove in head first. Admittedly though Im not done with it but I can tell you that this book is great easily gets 5 stars. A real hip hop fan will love this memoir.And truth be told;I think any fan of radio personalities and music in general will love this. Ill be done with it in a day or so;its that good. Simply put;great read by a great person and even greater icon in hip hop. Buy this;youll love it!41 of 42 people found the following review helpful. The Friend on Your RadioBy Star BrownWhen I heard THE Angie Martinez was writing a book; I HAD to buy it. Not borrow it; not download it; not blog skim; actually buy it. So my expectations were to hear juicy stories about the interviews; moments; and highlights in the world of HipHop. There are a couple of juicy tales but this book is STRICTLY about Angie. Her voice. Her experience. Her growth. Her lessons. The juicy tales she did share were those she recognized as impactful to her life and was a lesson in building the woman she is constantly working on. If you have ever avidly listened and followed Angie; you will know that shes honest; fair; and tries to do the right thing in difficult moments. This book is an accurate depiction of the ground breaking; original female; hip hop head that youve come to know on the show with some reasons for why she has made life choices and conducts herself the way she does. Shes shared hard life lessons as well as pieces of the highlights. Congratulations Ms. Martinez! Your voice is still ringing and heard after a drilion years!!!9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great read!By Boss2099Wonderful book. Lots of history; told by a great.
