Pop Culture Biographies
Hip Hop

Reading Level - Grade 4
Interest Level - Grades 5 and up

Alluring, true-life stories of famous Hip-Hop stars engage students.

Motivate even the most reluctant readers using high interest, contemporary themes. Give young adults the opportunity to build and practice reading skills. These are exciting rags-to-riches stories that show young adults that hard work and determination can allow them to overcome many of life’s restrictions. Students will be challenged and inspired—and best of all, they’ll be reading!

"Hip Hop can be used as a bridge linking seemingly vast spans between the streets and the world of academics. Hip Hop texts, given their thematic nature, can be equally valuable as springboards for critical discussions about contemporary issues facing urban youth."
- Morrell & Duncan-Andrade, 2002
