(Lyric Library). Rap music’s place within the global pantheon of pop culture was forever solidified when Webster’s decided to add the slang term “def” to the dictionary. Once considered an outsider art form, the music that originated from the streets of New York City has now become the new rock’n'roll, a major force dictating the trends of the day. Everything from fashion and advertising to literature and film has been touched by rap’s infectious rhyme patterns and rhythmic interplay, making it one of the foremost musical genres of the era. At the core of this cultural fascination with rap music are the lyrics, which run the gamut from clever rhyme patterns and lighthearted party fare to gangsta verite, providing a glimpse into inner city life for those far removed from it. The end result of this raw street slang bathed in thumping beats has been the creation and ongoing evolution of an art form that speaks to all walks of life. The full spectrum of this vibrant genre is represented in this book by nearly 100 artists, including: Cypress Hill * Dr. Dre * Missy Elliot * Eminem * 50 Cent * Ice Cube * Ja Rule * Wyclef Jean * LL Cool J * Lil’ Kim * Ludacris * Method Man * Nas * Nelly * Notorious B.I.G. * Outkast * Public Enemy * P Diddy * Run-DMC * 2Pac * Wu-Tang Clan * and many others.

Make It Happen

Kevin Liles rose from intern to president of Def Jam Records in only nine years. Today, at age thirty-seven, he is executive vice president of the Warner Music Group and has helped discover and direct the careers of stars such as Jay-Z and Ludacris.

Liles’ meteoric climb from urban street kid with hip-hop aspirations to one of the most successful and influential executives in the music industry is far more than a rags-to-riches story. It is a tribute to Liles’ incredible work ethic, wisdom and confidence in doing his thing his way — the hip-hop way.

“Every real success story in hip hop comes down to the same thing: someone who finds the will, focus and drive to achieve,” Liles writes in Make It Happen: The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success. “It doesn’t matter if you are male or female. It doesn’t matter what race or religion you are. It doesn’t matter what hustle you choose.” What does matter, Liles says, is that you fight against the odds to realize a dream and be the best that you can be. You empower yourself and make it happen.

Kevin Liles presents ten rules of business success, which range from “Find Your Will” and “The Blueprint” to “Don’t Let Cash Rule” and “Play Your Position.” As he outlines his philosophy, Liles shares how he put his principles to work, chronicling his journey to the top and the stories of others — executives, artists, mentors and friends — he has worked with along the way.

Make It Happen is both an American success story and a guidebook for the road to having a career and a life you love.

P. Diddy (Blue Banner Biographies)

Just about every fan of popular music has heard of either Puffy, Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy. That’s because Sean Combs, known throughout the years by many names, has influenced current music as much as anyone else in recent history. Born in a tough New York City neighborhood, Combs, or P. Diddy, braved the rough streets and immersed himself in the hip-hop and rap culture. Using his love of hip-hop music as a springboard, he learned everything he could about the music industry and then decided to make his mark. After becoming a successful record producer, P. Diddy later went on to become a Grammy Award–winning rapper in his own right. Now, the multi-talented superstar has branched out into the restaurant business, clothing business, and acting.
