As its title indicates, Gio Williams' "Hip Hop Rhyming Dictionary: The Extensive Hip & Rap Rhyming Dictionary for Rappers, Mcs and lyricists" is for rappers, masters of ceremony and lyricists.  The title insinuates the exclusion of students - of rap and hip hop - from the readership of this dictionary.  Anyone with at least a passing interest in these genres is a likely student.  Such a person would benefit from reading this dictionary.This dictionary succinctly, yet effectively, documents the evolution of rap and hip hop from West Africa in the eighteenth century to the United States of America in present times.  This dictionary also documents diverse rhymes and homonyms, with an emphasis on hip hop rhymes.  Its offerings are rather interesting.  If you want to know the meaning of rap and hip hop terms, this dictionary will enlighten you.
