Reviews:
-This is a well-written, informative encyclopedia that would sit well on any bookshelf and will appeal to readers of all ages. —Reference Reviews
-[B]ynoe chronicles the history and influence of hip-hop via approximately 450 entries, mostly biographical, with a good representation of both East Coast and West Coast personalities....Bynoe's guide is an essential acquisition for all music collections....Recommended for all public and academic libraries. —MultiCultural Review
-Bynoe provides a solid overview of the rap and hip hop genre....[t]his work will be a useful resource for students of music and culture at the outset of research. Recommended for undergraduate and public libraries. —College & Research Libraries
-Hip Hop culture encompasses more than just rap music, having been founded on the original four elements of DJing (turntablism), MCing (rapping), B-Boying (dancing), and Aerosol Art (graffiti). Although this encyclopedia recognizes this fact in its choice of material, the bulk of the figures and terms discussed in the entries remain related to rap. Although the size of the encyclopedia limits the comprehensiveness of the treatment, a careful effort has obviously been put into making the entries representative of the genre across the scope of its time period. The author includes commercially successful artists alongside lesser-known but more artistically influential creators. —Reference & Research Book News/Art Book News Annual
-[A] great addition to music and cultural reference collections. The All Music Guide to Hip-Hop includes 20 essays on rap and hip-hop topics but nothing as thorough as this encyclopedia. —Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
