The title of the book says it all. 48 pages of line-drawings of """"Gangsta"""" rappers, done with the black line we all remember from the colouring books of our youth. The juxtaposition of the outlaw image of the rappers with the childlike innocence of a colouring book makes for an instant laugh. In a smaller self-published edition, the book was an immediate hit with the few people who were able to see it. Now expanded from 20 to 48 pages, the book includes all of the top rappers and their underground peers.

Review:

"The funniest thing I've seen since Bringing Down the House."
