About the Book

Sweat The Technique

by Rakim

Review by Frank Taylor II

My book pick is "Sweat The Technique", which is the auto biography of one the best MCs in the genre of Hip Hop. Rakim is widely known as one of the best lyricists ever to hold a microphone. His lyrical genius has made him a legend among legends, or he is regarded as every great rapper's favorite rapper. The book also gave me a glimpse into the early life and private life of the well-known musician. It was truly a great view of one my favorite artist in Hip Hop.
