I watched it decline and was sad to hear it go under. I hadn’t heard about your book until I stumbled on your blog today. I will definitely look for it, because it would be nice to hear what happened from your point of view.

Thanks for the review of the book. Sorry, you are disappointed in me, but I still appreciate you taking time to read the book. You say you expected a level of soul searching, and I believe I tried to do that in many passages , which I can point you to if you need be. I believe there were many times I acknowledged how I “reveled” in it.

Still, I thought you’d be interested to know, since you say you walked away from the book feeling that I’d jump back on the source boat if I needed the money, that while many would (and I wouldn’t judge another person for making a decision like that…you may understand this when you have children), I can confidently say that I wouldn’t ever go back. And to be totally honest, I am bound by that decision that I would never go back, which was made a while ago. Hope you understand what that means, but that is really all that can be said.

Furthermore, the job market is much harder than you think. I’ve been blessed by the opportunities that I’ve been given, but I am more sympathetic to others who haven’t been, so for you to say that finding another gig is easy, it leads me to assume that you haven’t spent much time in the job market. I have friends with Masters degrees, law degrees, and the like who have struggled trying to find jobs.

Thanks for visiting the blog.

It was a wonderful book in more ways than one. This book gave a wonderful perspective on the downfall of the Source and of the climate of Hip Hop. It also gave me more information about your career and your grind as a journalist. Most importantly, the book details the role of women in the Hip Hop industry and the struggles they face within an industry they love. As a young 22 year old woman who has loved Hip Hop her whole life and still finds it hard to continue her love, I found your book insightful. Taking a stand against the Source and the bull#$%t they put you through is very courageous. You are a role model for women of the Hip Hop industry and community and I have the utmost respect for you. Congratulations on the book!
