Ali Rap - Reviews
"Ali Rap ist eine Art Autobiographie des großen Boxers und zeigt ihn als Mann mit Stil, der durch intelligente Bemerkungen für Aufsehen sorgte – Ali, der erste Rapper. Selten war eine Gedichte- und Sprüchesammlung so unterhaltsam. Wem Ali vorher sympathisch war, der wird ihn nach dieser Lektüre lieben."novum, MünchenGermany |

"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 AngelesUnited 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), ParisFrance |

"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 YorkUnited 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, LisabonPortugal |

"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, ParisFrance |

"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, LondonUnited Kingdom |
|
"A collection of some of the most memorable insults, quips, wisecracks and witticisms from the most quotable fighter ever."Penthouse, LondonUnited 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, LondonUnited 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 YorkUnited States |
