Entries, ranging from A+ to Zulu Nation, include biographical or descriptive information, popular songs or albums, apparel and other marketing ventures of artists, and, in several cases, highlights of artists' criminal offenses. Entries are alphabetical, either by the artist's real last name, or stage name, if the latter is more prevalent. Real names appear in brackets next to stage names but are not cross-referenced or listed in the index. Music-related entries also include a discography with known original recordings or a selection of the artist's complete works.
A list of entries, a preface, an introduction, two appendixes, a bibliography, and an index are included. The introduction offers a historical and cultural look at hip-hop. Appendixes provide a selected rap discography, including recordings of hip-hop and rap classics, and "Statements to Preserve and Appreciate Hip Hop Culture," aka "The Hip Hop Declaration of Peace" unveiled at the UN on May 16, 2002. A selected bibliography includes a sampling of the more credible books, articles, and Web sites on hip-hop.
The indexing and cross-referencing are incomplete. For example, the U.T.F.O. is made up of four group members: Doctor Ice, the Kangol Kid, the Educated Rapper, and Mix-Master Ice. None of the group members are listed in the index, nor is there a cross-reference in the index from UnTouchable Force Organization to U.T.F.O. Uninformed hip-hop researchers may have difficulty navigating with the inconsistent indexing and cross-references.
Even with its indexing problems, the encyclopedia is a great addition to music and cultural reference collections. The All Music Guide to Hip-Hop (Backbeat Books, 2003) includes 20 essays on rap and hip-hop topics but nothing as thorough as this encyclopedia. It is by no means a complete look at a huge and diverse topic, particularly the international scene, but will complement reference collections. Sue Polanka
