YAHip-Hop Stars series.
These biographies deliver comprehensive information about the lives and careers of their subjects--including achievements and struggles--as well as a history of hip-hop. The same introduction by Chuck D of rap group Public Enemy begins each. The stories are engaging, though the writing tends to ramble. Photos, sidebars, discographies, and some websites add to the teen-friendly appeal. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Hip-Hop Stars titles: Beastie Boys, Eminem, Missy Elliott, Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, and Run-DMC.
