advice
As reviewing administrator, I think that the book Hip Hop Generation is notable; but I don';t think it is appropriate to have a chapter by chapter summary. I suggest you reduce it to a few paragraphs; you'll do it better than I. As it stands, it comes very close to the level of being eligible for speedy deletion as an primarily promotional article--but, unlike some admins here, I try to rescue such articles if at all possible. Please be sure to add some exact references to published reviews of the book in newspapers, magazines, or other reliable sources.

Recall that this is an article about the book specifically, not about the social problems being discussed in the book.

The bio of the author sounds like a copy-paste from some previously published source. As I see he has written a number of books, consider making an article for him instead.

I also suggest you read WP:COI about conflict of interest, and our Business FAQ. The similarity of this article to a number of other recent non fiction book articles makes me wonder if you are perhaps writing them as a commercial enterprise, or under contract for a publisher. Though discouraged, it is not prohibited. (I am, in fact, one of the people trying to keep it from being prohibited.) But please learn to write in accordance with the expectations of the medium. See our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. Also see the two excellent books on writing for Wikipedia that have recently appeared: Broughton, John. ''Wikipedia: The Missing Manual. The missing manual. Cambridge: O'Reilly, 2008, ISBN 9780596515164, (available online at http://safari.oreilly.com) and Ayers, Phoebe, Charles Matthews, and Ben Yates.How Wikipedia Works: And How You Can Be a Part of It.'' San Francisco: No Starch Press, 2008. (http://www.nostarch.com). I'll be glad to offer further advice--please contact me on my user talk page, or privately by email from there.

I will check back here in a few days to see how it's going. DGG (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
