In this book of life lessons culled from hip-hop culture,
author Felicia Pride examines a wide range of hip-hop songs
and artists, interpreting life through their lenses. Growing
up with hip-hop, Pride has come to realize the way it shaped
how she thinks, writes, and reacts, making her the person
she is today. By incorporating her own experiences and
reflections with the rapper's message, she focuses on the
positive, motivational influence hip-hop has on its
audience.
With each life lesson aptly titled after a
hip-hop song, such as Kanye West's “Jesus Walks” or
GangStarr's “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow,” The Message
explores spirituality, success, love, business, and more
through hip-hop. Pride infuses these essential truths with
examples from rappers' lives and music, providing positive
reflections on hip-hop culture. For example, she tells you
how to study how those with staying power, such as Missy
Elliott and Russell Simmons, handle their business and how
to incorporate similar tactics into your own life: be
creative, diversify, handle your business.
The
Message shares the wisdom that Pride has learned from
hip-hop, creating what is essentially a soundtrack to the
hip-hopper's life.
