(More customer reviews)Ya know...I really do expect BETTER details from a tell-all memoir.
Before I start, I would like to know if it's possible for the folks who manage this site to allow us to rate a book 0? This book doesn't even deserve the honor and the privilege of being rated a "1".
Tarsha Jones' book is a joke, plain and simple. It makes Karrine Steffan's "autobiography" a true work of art.
This DJ chick goes on and on about how Doug E Fresh dogs her out, how Busta Rhymes LITERALLY busted her out (sexually) because of how WELL ENDOWED he was...oh and how quick he was in the sack..and how selfish he was afterwards...*sigh*, how Allen Iverson tried to get a piece, how a rival DJ at her radio station had it out for her, how her babydaddy wouldn't act right...oh woe is her! Playing the victim MUST be the modus operandi for these female human semen receptacles. Blame everyone else for dogging them but not taking responsiblity for the piss poor decisions they make.
My thing about these "true" memoirs is this: Why the hell do these chicks keep making bad decision after bad decision? Why write about it? Surely they're not doing this to help out the next young girl or for "release therapy" and ...don't these chicks have EDITORS to spellcheck before publishing? This book was so poorly written I would have guessed an 11 year old penned it. Also, the pics. I mean...isn't Ms. Jones OBESE? Why all the old pics of her? Show the new ones, with those elephantine sized hamhocks for thighs rubbing against one another or that quadruple chin. Show those. Why didn't she mention how she is OBSESSED with Beyonce Knowles? I mean the chick HAS to have posters with dart holes in them plastered all over her house. Why not mention that? Why not mention how JEALOUS she is of RnB singers who made it big while her one little single hardly got any fan fare. Oh I see...because she couldn't be the VICTIM. Typical.
THANK God I didn't plop down one red cent to buy this crap. I would have been more entertained eating a cabbage/collard green cocktail and listening to my butt bellow out a trumpet-like symphony in an crowded elevator.
It would have been less painful too.

"Jonesy," as she's known to her fans, captivates millions of Hot 97 listeners with her daily dish on hip hop and rap celebrity. But within these pages are the juicy scandals that even this no-holds-barred DJ has kept off the airwaves. For the first time, Jones reveals everything–from her volatile upbringing as the child of alcoholic parents to candid stories of her early singing career under Doug E. Fresh's wing (and between his sheets); from bitter feuds with Wendy Williams and shock jocks Star and Buc Wild to friendships with Patti LaBelle and Isaac Hayes; from collaborations with Fat Joe and Big Pun all the way to catfights with Christina Milian and Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles. But more than just a tell-all tale, this inspirational memoir is a testament to the struggles of a black woman trying to succeed in a white-male-dominated industry, where the sharks never stop circling no matter how much you achieve. Jones lets it all hang out and doesn't tiptoe around anyone's feelings–including her own."Love or loathe her, Tarsha Jones puts it all out there. Politically correct? Not a chance. Boring? Never."–Essence"Heart-wrenching and empowering . . . Women behind the scenes in hip-hop are unabashedly writing about what goes on behind the bling curtain. . . . Now it's Tarsha's turn. Miss Jones, if you please."–LASplash.com"Provocative reading . . . Jones is a survivor, and you can't help but admire her resiliency. . . . Her writing style is blunt, but with a special flair for the dramatic."–Smooth"Steamy . . . guaranteed to raise eyebrows."–Ebony"If there's one jock that shocks, it's Miss Jones. . . . She's never afraid to reveal the truth."–Rap-Up
