Read by the author

A pitch-perfect account of how hip-hop culture drew in the author and how his father drew him out again-with love, perseverance, and fifteen thousand books. Musique Hip-Hop

The book offers a superb look at the paradoxical human tendency toward moral depravity when faced with less obstacles and constraints. After communism fell in Eastern Europe, Pope John Paul II was bewildered by the sexual debauchery that blossomed in Poland. Similarly, "Losing My Cool" pays homage to the tremendous sacrifices made by so many individuals in the 20th century to have the basic rights of all Black people recognized in the United States, and emphasizes the fact that the fruits of their labor demand greater responsibility and elevation of spirit rather than keeping it real with the thug life.

A beautiful look at freedom and culture.

This remarkable young thinker applies experience and education to provoke Black American youth to turn a critical eye toward an industry masquerading as its sole accepted access to culture.

Insightful and timely.
