Malcolm X's is good.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

get this book: "Monster" by sanyika Shakur
rod - i guarantee you will not put this book down after you pick it up. i finished it in like one day, read it non stop. just about everyone i knew, that i suggested this book to, finished it in one day. EXCELLENT book, especially for an AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140232257/qid=1075870521//ref=pd_ka_2/002-3132127-7183200?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

on Bing's study of L.A. gangs, Do or Die (1991) featured on its cover an awesomely muscular African-American male, naked to the waist, wearing sunglasses and wielding an automatic weapon. That man was ``Monster'' Kody Scott, who here tells his electrifying life story: an angry, stunningly violent odyssey through gang warfare and prison to redemption. The acknowledgements page reveals Scott's continued wrath: ``Bullet-proof love is extended to Muhammad Abdullah and the Islamic Liberation Army...Teflon bullets are sent to the sell- outs.'' Scott is still fighting, only now for the New Afrikan Independence Movement, dedicated to creating a separate black nation. But, then, the author has always been at war: Drafted at age 11 into a ``set'' of the ``ghastly gang army'' of the L.A. Crips--an army of ``children gone wild in a concrete jungle''--he shot his first man, a rival Blood, that same year, and for the next 15 years led a life spent defending his set by word, fist, and bullet: ``I liked to see the buckshot eat away their clothing, almost like piranha fish.'' Much of Scott's memoir is a horrifying chronicle of gang combat--shootings, betrayals, retaliations (Scott was shot six times in one ambush)--almost tedious in its unrelenting machismo and bloodshed, made palatable mostly by the author's deep knowledge of gang lore. Eventually, jail stints punctuate the street fighting; finally, in 1983, Scott, behind bars, meets a radical Muslim who teaches him that the real battle is with the white oppressors--a lesson that takes hold in the late 80's in Folsom Prison, where, amid outrageous depravity, Scott renounces ``gangsterism'' to embrace his new struggle. Today, Scott, 29, is back in prison, serving seven years for ``a healthy beating'' he gave to an unrepentant crack dealer. A savage document of the street that gives, and asks, no quarter. Anyone who wants to know why L.A. burned will find the chilling answer here. (First printing of 65,000; first serial rights to Esquire) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Man, I'd love to, but all the ones I like you wouldn't have the slightest interest in.  It's better for you if you pick somebody you're a fan of, and then read their autobiography.

I read the LL Cool J autobiography when I was in 10th grade.  You'd like it, he talks about how he came up, his struggles comin up, and dealing with the fame, and fuckin groupies lol.

I dunno if its an autobiography but this book changed my life:

NICKY CRUZ:  RUN BABY RUN

Story about a puto Rican kid who moves to new York.  He ends up joining a gang called the Mau Maus and getting into loads of shit.  Great book.
