Ali Rap - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

"In case you live under a rock or haven`t recognized, not only is Ali the World`s Heavyweight Champion of boxing, he is the Greatest badass, period. Not only was the man a great fighter, he was an eloquent speaker. His autobiography, Ali Rap, goes into the mind of the Greatest by documenting his life by only his quotes, punch lines and rabid metaphors. This book lays down and documents the events of an intelligent lyricist who continues to resonate and influence culture inside and outside the boxing ring." URB Magazine, Los Angeles United States

"Les phrases punch – en anglais – de Muhammad Ali, dont les rimes incisives auraient pu scotcher au mur de la plupart des rappeurs." Sport&Style (L'Equipe), Paris France

"This voluminous black book is brimming with Ali quotes, partnered with pictures of the adolescent fighter Cassius Clay turned heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali. It`s more the story of his career and less the story of his life, even though we hear his musings on racial injustice and religious fortitude." Entertainment Weekly, New York United States

"E um livro editado o passado novembro pela TASCHEN, em colaboraçao com o canal desportivo norteamericano ESPN, e nao ha melhor forma de comemorar o aniversario do grande Muhammad Ali –fez 65 anos há poucos días, a 17 de janeiro –do que lê-lo. Admirá-lo. Decora-ló. Resultado da compilaçao de centenas de rimas, frases bombásticas, declaraçoes de guerra, manifestos de amor, aforismos e reflexoes de Ali ao longo de trinta anos de carreira, é uma homenagem de um grande amigo, o designer gráfico George Lois, a um visionario e um guerrerito da elegancia." Fora de Serie, Lisabon Portugal

"Ce livre frais, à la première personne, est une autobiographie hilarante de Muhammad Ali, homme d`action intrépide qui s`exprime par gimmick, illustrée puissamment par le provocateur George Louis, publicitaire bien connu." La Lettre de l'économie et du sport, Paris France

"Great photography and original design. It's a bit of a coffee table book but as coffee table books go this one ain't half bad." Ice Magazine, London United Kingdom

"A collection of some of the most memorable insults, quips, wisecracks and witticisms from the most quotable fighter ever." Penthouse, London United Kingdom

"This little book is an absolute pleasure and must have for all Ali fans out there... So if you hang on every word that the big man ever said, and can`t help reciting phrases at inappropriate moments, then get out there and get yourself a copy. It will inspire you." Touch Magazine, London United Kingdom

"Before Kayne, before Jay-Z. There was The Greatest. Before rap was even called rap, Muhammad Ali would wax poetic before schooling his opponents in the ring. And in the new book Ali Rap, iconic graphic designer George Lois and TASCHEN/ESPN books compile more than 300 of these rhymes, wisecracks, and inspiring words. All from the mind, heart, and soul of the brash, you Cassius Clay, the man who would become king of the ring." Men's Fitness, New York United States

"Cool is not the usual word I associate with sports books, but it's the only one that fits George Lois' Ali Rap: Muhammad Ali, The First Heavyweight Champion of Rap. Published by TASCHEN and ESPN, the book— edited and designed by legendary adman Lois—is part art book, part biography and autobiography of Ali built on quotations from his life accompanied by hundreds of brilliant photographs and illustrations." Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minneapolis United States
