. A collection of articles by freelance music reporter Ronin Ro, whose writing has appeared in Spin, Rolling Stone, The Source and Rap Pages, on the social ramifications of gangsta rap. Ro examines the proliferation of crack cocaine in the last decade and the rise of gang violence, and provides thorough criticism on the music this anarchic culture has spawned. Through insightful interviews and deft observations, Ro argues that record companies and artists looking to make a profit have contributed to the spread of gangs, and that the industry of gangsta rap validates, even promotes, misogyny, gun use and the co
Gangsta is an incredible book! Ronin Ro's Gangsta is much better than Have Gun Will Travel. Ro's writing was more artistic, and had more feeling. He spent most of this book reflecting on the future of America and music and the nature of life and death. Portions of the book were heart-rending; some were hilarious; others were unbelievable. This book showed me where most of the rap-writing styles out there today came from. Ronin was at his best in this book.. A waste of time The author knows that NWA started gangsta rap and not much else. After a promising, well-written introduction, the rest of the book is sheer disappointment. Ro writes about his sexual exploits, his alcoholism, his brother's suicide, and his crush on a young Japanese girl. In short, everything except gangsta rap. The introduction was well worth reading twice, but not worth special oredering this poor attempt at attacking the subject.. Important chronicle. British Commentator I really do not understand how someone gave this one star! It is one of the important Hip Hop books chronicling the violence in Hip Hop from a mid 1990's perspective, and written from the inside looking out. Any serious student of Hip hop should own this.
