The Book of Manifest: Hip-Hop's Untold Story - James Blackwell - Bog

Hip-Hop is a living breathing thing. It thinks, it grows and it develops, and if listened to closely will give you a truth that many fail to realize. I, just like Hip-Hop, is a manifestation of truth, emotion, and a story that has developed over my lifetime, and is still growing. This book isn't your ordinary autobiography of hip-hop experiences, do's and don'ts, or "tell all" for that matter. But it is me telling my all. The good, bad, and definitely the ugly. Music for me is an art, the beat my canvas and lyrics the paint. So my songs have been masterpieces created by me, but like most artists unappreciated and misunderstood. So this book is my attempt to bring you behind the "mic" so to speak, so you can understand the motivation for my art. But I will tell you this story isn't for the lazy minded individual because it causes you to think and reach for the truth even when it's easier to accept the spoon-fed knowledge you know. I will share the triumphs, the fails, the abuse, the lies, lust, and love that comes with a journey of EMCEE, producer, music businessman, a fiance', but most of all of a MAN.
