Got to go and cop this book. Powerful! I just finished it and I might be caught up in the emotion of the whole thing, but I think it's the best story I ever read. I have yet to fully fathom it's underlying meanings. It's too deep for words - it's about hip-hop, love, destiny, passion, metaphysics, revolution, understanding and confusion. You never know where you're going until you get there and even then you're like, "Where am I?"

"A Hip-Hop Story" by Heru Ptah

funny thing is, I don't read novels - this creation just called me from the shelf in the bookstore... glad I was listenin'... glad Heru is writin'... this was the truest fiction I ever layed my three eyes on.

Where Can i Get the Book?

Join us to meet Heru Ptah on Saturday, March 6 at 1pm at Borders Bookstore in Watchung, NJ. Call 908-561-3200 for details and directions.

this book sucks

big goat cock, just like jahiem said,. lol

anyone read this book?

im so gay...but i just had sex with my girlfriend and last night i got butt fucked by my friend sean...oh yeah the book was exciting to read and interesting! two thumbs up!

Finished the book in a week. It's an easy read. You feel for the characters and ultimately this is a gauge for a decent novel. Heru takes it a step further and parallels his fiction to real (painful) events. We all know the stories in the media about the lifestyles of these rappers and Heru took it a step deeper.He created what could be real turmoils for some of the artists we have iconized. I appreciated seeing the people behind the hype and Heru did an excellent job of showing it.

PS: Truth be known, the rap verses were pretty weak.

Praises for Heru!!! I love this book.
I had never heard of you prior to reading this work, however I knew that you were a poet because your writing felt like poetry.

I have never taken down so many great words while reading a novel before, I mean I have learned over 22 new words---honestly!

The writing was clear, the story flowed easily, the characters seemed real and the plot was strong.

I like these kind of books. The ones that are about real life. I especially liked this one because of the freestylin and the incite into the rap game. Even though I loved the flows, they seemed a bit weak- but the book was good even though. I finished it in 3 days- it was hard to put down.

THE BOOKS HOT PROPERTY FINISHED IT IN 2 DAYS

I usually don't like reading, but this book changed all of that. This book is the bomb. I only read a few pages and i neva wanna put it down. I can't wait to get to the ending so i can see how everything works out for both of the rappers. Well all I gotta say is Heru Ptah keep doin your thing. Thanx

I was recommended to read this book by my sister, and at first I thought, it wasn't much of a read, until i got caught up into the characters and by the middle I was hooked, so hooked that i didn't put it down until i finished it! I think what's so good about the book is the way Ptah describes each rapper and both striving for the same goal, it's a great book! 5/5!!! Is this Heru Ptah's first book or are there others!

I loved this book, it talks about things that are happening day to day and it allows you to have a brief insight on the music industry. The characters were so real and described in so much depth. It truly was and is a deep book,emotional and exiting book! I encourage anyone to read it, when they have a month free!!

this book was amazing! i think its one of the best books i've ever read!!!

hi
I am doing a project for my English coursework on Hip Hop all access and if you think you may help oon some of the things like the history please reply on the email given above.
thank you

just strated reading da book & i cant put it down i think its very big and am inspired by good black writers. when u gonna come 2 London and share ur talent wit us??

I found this book over the Christmas holiday 2005, in a bookshop, somewhere in the north of England, and i can honestly say it is the best book i have ever come across.

just ran across this book the other day - i'm impressed by the depth of the story - it's not JUST a HIP-HOP STORY -
it's a story of life - thx

i read this book and it was really good, i couldnt put it down,i hope he does another book like this as this one was very gripping.

i aint read tha book yet

I just finished this book and I loved it. I'll admit the ending had me all choked up. I am definitely going o see what else this author has written.

What's up ya'll? I absolutely LOVED this book. Being a rapper myself, I totally related to the drive and ambition that Flawless and Hannibal had. I hope to see a lot more from my man, Heru. The verses weren't weak if you read them in the context of the story and feel the emotions behind them. For a student of hip-hop, a student of literary works, or someone just wanting to read a good novel, I highly recommend A Hip-Hop Story. Fantastic job, Heru!
