Description:
The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book is just as it sounds: a series of images in thick black lines of the most popular gangsta rappers from hip-hop. The juxtaposition of hard-core thugs portrayed through a children's medium made this book an underground hit in Aye Jay Moreno's first, self-published edition. Now expanded from 20 to 48 pages to include even more of the music's superstars, this collection is a witty hall of fame of gangsta rap.

Great Conversation PieceMay 12, 2007 Buy this book, leave it right out on the coffee table during a party or visitors, and watch the hilarious reactions. The conversation over the great pages of rappers usually turns into a lively debate on who was the greatest rapper of all time. They are all in here: Biggie, Pac, KRS One, Cube, 50 Cent... about 40 in all. Just be sure to hide it sometime during the party, or you'll wake up the next day and find someone has colored-in your DMX. GREAT BOOK!

One word: DisgracefulMar 23, 2007 I wish there was a rating of zero. This book is a disgrace and worthless. Although it may not be marketed to kids, it will most certainly end up in the hands of a child. Marketing to adults it is just a mask to get to the REAL target market - children. My children and YOURS. Think about it. Do you really think adults have crayons lying around awaiting to color a coloring book? What adult spends free time coloring in coloring books? And if you have children, would you really want them coloring guns?? Some may find it humorous or funny. I see nothing funny about it. Please stop aiding others in perpetuating negative images of the Afro American culture.
Anyone that buys this book should be ashamed of themselves.

CF.Adams: Homicide InvestigatorMar 23, 2007 This Color Book is a disgrace to every African American. As a Homicide Investigator who has worked many murders of young Black teenager males this coloring book doesn't help to stop the problem on "Black on Black Murders" involving juvenile males. I am outrage by the images of weaponry and killing and prison and thing of that nature. I don't see this coloring book to be a fitting image for our young people. Maybe the Author of this coloring book should come and spend a day with me during an autopsy of a 15 year Black male who was killed by gang violence.

EhhhhJan 24, 2007 The concept of this book is good, and many classic rappers/groups are depicted, but the art is lacking. The line-drawings are very simple, with little detail. A good coloring book has lots of detail to make it fun to color; if someone were to actually color in this book, it would get pretty boring. The book's only saving grace is the Bone Thugs page... that one's pretty good.

Gangsta Rap Coloring Book... so funny!Jan 09, 2007 I got the idea for this coloring book from a friend who had it sitting on her coffee table. I bought three for little Christmas gifts and everyone loved them! Well, I had to keep one for myself. Nothing like a coloring book with Crayon Bullets to brighten any holiday!
