Book Review: Life And Def

This is a review from my Favorite Books list; the link from which will be also on the Books Page.

“That’s a lesson I could have only learned outside the building.”

I read the second of Russell Simmons’ books first, and this one was actually better in my opinion.

If you’ve ever seen a clip of Russell at work in his offices or on the phone, you see that he talks at a quick pace and keeps conversations moving. His books are no different — I knocked Def out in 70-page chunks.

Russell’s book reads as if you’re sitting at a restaurant booth with him as he shares stories. And if you’re at all into hip-hop, that’s a valuable lunch.
