“This book is not an autobiography,” a statement from the publisher reads. “It’s not a manifesto. It’s a razor-sharp investigation into hip-hop and rap music by searing lyricist and global music icon Chuck D of Public Enemy.” Anyone even slightly familiar with the work of P.E. will know that Chuck D is a gifted lyricist, capable of boiling down very real experiences into lines that have the greatest impact—an attribute he shares with the likes of Dylan, Guthrie, and Marley. So, it’s not at all surprising that his book packs a genuine punch. The man can write.
