What's Your Hi-Fi Q?: From Prince to Puff Daddy, 30 Years of

This book is an awesome example of fun and education working in tangient. I would highly recommend What's Your Hi-Fi Q ? for summer outings as well as a tool for black music education. Scott and Smokey has done a phenomenal job in using their expertise of black music to create an outstanding product. It's definitely a book I would want to have if I were even remotely interested in black music history.

This book is the BOMB!

I heard these guys on the radio and saw them on TV talking about this book and they seemed real interesting and knowledgeable about music. The book proves it. It's full of tons of trivia questions about hiphop and r & b, but the best part is the funny and informative lists they have, like Top 5 Posse Records and Top 5 Blue-Eyed Soul records. I don't agree with their choice for the best Duet ("The Closer I Get To You" by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack). I would have picked Donny and Roberta's "I Who Have Nothing". But anyway they got some good choices all over the book. You'll enjoy this book if you love music and you love trivia. It's like a hiphop version of "Jeopardy."

Intelligent and fun!

I love trivia books, especially whent he authors actually know more than I do about the subject area. Scott and Smokey are journalists and music lovers. I used the book at a BBQ I had and everyone from my niece to my mother-in-law got into the action. People were singing hooks to remember answers and recalling where they were when a specific song was playing. I think I have found a great Christmas gift too! I can't wait until the second edition comes out. Where's the boardgame?
