Ali Rap - Reviews

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

"From his days as the cocky, beautiful, badass Cassius Clay to the fierce, spiritual, eternally opinionated Muhammad Ali, the fighter is the subject of George Lois`s gorgeous Ali Rap, which immortalizes his flurries of wisecracks, come-ons, and fighting words that could float like a butterfly, sting like a bee . . ." Vanity Fair, New York United States

"His colorful history is the backdrop for his (George Lois`) startling forthcoming testament to his old friend Muhammad Ali, Ali Rap: Muhammad Ali, The First Heavyweight of Rap. Coupling Ali`s radical wit with a lexicon of graphic jests, Lois tells the story of the Greatest while constructing a compelling social narrative of the world Ali changed forever. From the boxer`s early bravado as a 12-year-old named Cassius Clay (‘This guy is done. I`ll stop him in one,` Lois quotes him as saying) through his decades as a political lightning rod (‘No Vietnamese ever called me nigger`), Lois`s nearly 300-page chronicle of Ali`s life reminds us how funny and ferocious a figure he really was." Paper Magazine, New York United States

"George Lois, who crafted a series of iconic Esquire covers featuring Ali, has gathered 300 or so bits of the boxer's wordplay and conjoined them with evocative photographs, Ali ephemera (including his draft card) and other visual whimsies. The addictive result is part flip book, part biography, and all fun." Play: The New York Times Sports Magazine, New York United States
