About this listen

Darlene Ortiz was with Ice T for 17 years, beginning with his early days hustlin' on the streets and his subsequent rise to fame. In Definition of Down: My Life with Ice T & the Birth of Hip Hop, she tells how hip hop started, with intimate glimpses into their daily life and stories about their climb to the top and all the rappers who got their start in those times.

If you love this era or hip-hop, you'll enjoy this book. Couple of errors in the narration but nobody is perfect. I wish I could re-live those days
