From a review:
This kinetic rap-rhyming tale of self-motivation is sure to move both body and mind. Simultaneously, it plants the seeds of self-esteem and positive aspirations in the heart of every listener. Readers will have a hip-hop-till-they-drop good time, as they discover along with Timmy- that the key to ultimate success is through perseverance, commitment, and dedication!
One of Hip Hop cultures foremost journalists, Billy Jam wrote of Turntable Timmy that "Young parents finally have a cool book that can educate and entertain the next generation of DJs."
http://www.musicclub.com/stanturtimbo.htmDiscovered this book the other day and thought it was pretty amusing. It even came complete with its own CD!
If that's not enough to nourish the creativity of the future hip-hop generation, we also have:
There are 18 illustrations in all, from Snoop Dog and Eazy E to Schooly D and even (not so famous) friends of the artist like the Gingerbread Man (many of them pictured with guns). Considering the cover shows the inside of a gun and most of the figures celebrated within built their careers on bitch-slappin' ho's, f***n' with the police and defying The Man, it's probably safe to say this book is aimed toward more mature coloring book fans (we hope!). And, for that budding artist, Morano leaves the last framed page blank so that you can "draw your own gangsta rap superstar here."
