Gangsta Rap Coloring Book this question feed

The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book is just as it sounds: a series of images in thick black lines of the most popular gangsta rappers from hip-hop. The juxtaposition of hard-core thugs portrayed through a children's medium made this book an underground hit in Aye Jay Moreno's first, self-published edition. Now expanded from 20 to 48 pages to include even more of the music's superstars, this collection is a witty hall of fame of gangsta rap.

I purchased this coloring book to illustrate at a PTA meeting what negative influences our children can be exposed to. Many of the parents agreed, as did I, that this coloring book is probably not being marketed to young people; however, they did agree that the many images of young men, mostly African American, were depicted poorly. I would be hard pressed to believe that any young person looking at this book could receive a positive message. Furthermore, all it would take for a young person to purchase this book would be a word search entitled "coloring book" and added to their cart when their parents are ordering school, educational or recreational materials. PARENTS BEWARE!!!
