Book Reviews of Make It Happen: The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success

Book Review: Great Read For Students, Very Inspiring
Summary: 4 Stars


It's a very good book overall. The book is very inspiring and has alot of good wisdom. It's right along the same lines as Russell Simmons's book, "Do You". Don't expect to see any Def Jam rumors or juicy gossip. Kevin Liles is not the type of guy to stay on the negative. Kevin is very humble, he emphasizes hard work and dedication.

If any drawbacks, the book is maybe a bit too long. Kevin makes sure to stay on good terms with other successful business men and successful rappers by mentioning them often. He's makes a real point of playing the business politics game.

I do think that Kevin is slightly misrepresenting his roots to appear more "down" with hip hop. The areas (Woodlawn and Pikesville) which Kevin mention in the book are really upwardly mobile, middle class white collar and blue collar types. However, Kevin is portraying them as rough neighborhoods.

He talks a bit too much about the group he was in, "Numarx". I've never even heard of the group before and I'm from Baltimore. It's definately Kevin Lile's book, not so much a book on Def Jam. It would've probably have been more interesting to hear a little more about the actual artists and albums. Yet, it's a very good read for all ages.
