Summary: A blueprint for empowerment!
Review: "RAP, RACE and REALITY by Chuck D (with Yusuf Jah) is a blueprint for empowerment! Chuck, master orator and ever the visionary, offers keen observations to help this generation recognize and understand the interaction of prophets, players and pawns in our society. He offers insights into a range of diverse factors which contribute to the current state of Blackness in the world and outlines an action plan to help us combat these forces.

Summary: Great, insightful stuff.
Review: Been a huge PE fan for years. Gotta agree with someone earlier that he focuses on black/white problems too much, when his arguments could be used for poor/rich as well. But the points he brings up about the black community and relationto white america are absolutely 100% correct, and I'm just wondering if that is a problem with the other reviewr. Also at points it seems like he is just bouncing ideas off of the wall that he isn't entirely sure if he agrees with the things he's saying. But overall it gets a rise out of you on topics like, atheletes, entertainment, and music, and what America does to represent these things (and vice versa). Good stuff!

Summary: In depth and intelligently written
Review: Chuck D is perhaps the most intellegent rap artist of all time. His insight into racial issues, as well as his honesty, is amazing. Chuck tears down the media and exposes the institutionalized racism in media and government. Reading this book was an incredible experience, and is a must read for every American. This is in my top five books of all time, in any genre.

Summary: pleasant surprise
Review: Chuck D takes his talent with words from the mike to the pen, sharing his views on these current topics. Although he writes as he speaks, with a..."colourful" vocabulary, I found that the tone is one of urgency, such that if the language is distracting, the reader hasn't grasped the gravity of the content. Chuck D and Public Enemy continue to produce music for higher purposes than simply to make money and entertain; they clearly wish to educate, stimulate and elevate any who are willing to seriously look at what's going on in our world.

Summary: Excellent beliefs; however, a little strong.
Review: Chuck D's words of wisdom are certainly necessary in this modern day world of racial inequality; however, at times he is a bit harsh regarding his beliefs. Notably, his views on Africa are remarkable and inspirational, yet there is an overall sense of inequality in the book. As a person who is multicultural in many aspects, I believe Chuck D overemphasized ideas which only favor the African American community when in fact the entire nation needs to hear his advice. All in all, it was a powerful book of ideas if you can handle some heavy beliefs.
