Notorious C.O.P.

This was really interesting. I'm not someone who knows a whole lot about hip-hop beyond the basics, so seeing how Parker explains the interplay between music, gang violence, and inner-city life was pretty interesting. It was also interesting as a memoir for him as a member of the black community working for NYPD, and some of the challenges he faced while in that role. His writing voice is bombastic and at times braggadocious, but I found it fit the subject material well.
