Country Fried Soul...IN YO' FACE!

Today I just finished another great Hip-Hop book, it's well written by Tamara Palmer (who hails from The BAY) and titled "Country Fried Soul: Adventures in Dirty South Hip-Hop". Simply put, it's an entertaining, enciteful read. This book has interviews with so many well known figures in Southern rap, as well as some from Cali...

I guarantee you one of the people you just thought of us in the book.

Palmer leads the reader through a variety of subjects and in a way that feels like a discussion, but one that you really are INTO. It's like you're talking about religion with Cee-Lo, speaking about civil liberty with Luther Campbell, and breaking down linguistics with Charlie Hustle...and so much more. I appreciate the stories told, the honesty, and good feeling that this book has.

I'm just talking about a part of this book too, there is a whole B-Side...it's obvious a deejay wrote this book. It has so many resources to get your knowledge on with, as well as recommendations and reviews. Tamara Palmer did an excellent job...and I'm so happy because I bet she had a lot of fun doing it too!

Check out the book, it's a great read.
