Title: Good as an autobiography
Review: This book takes you through the life of an urban music producer, how he acquired his knowledge of beat machines, samplers, and sequencers and parlayed that into a career in Hip-Hop and Rap music. It is a good autobiography but not a strong technical reference. Written on an elementary level at best, too much simplicity here in how to get things done. Reading a manual for a sampler will give a lot more technical information than the author can explain. Sa'id has provided a few notable chapters for the wannabe beat master. A discography of late 20th century pop for those who want to hear good production values, and a chapter on contracts including the necessary forms for getting signed and making money on your creations. I suggest this book for beginners in addition to a subscription to Modern Recording, Mix, Computer Musician, and Electronic Musician. Skip this book if you aren't a beginner, but get if if you are!
