Carmen Bryan is no stranger to the rap world. Not only did she work at Def Jam and Capitol Records but she shares a daughter with hip-hop superstar Nas -- a relationship made extremely public through Nass celebrity status; rap lyrics; and the ever-present media. Now; in Its No Secret; a strong; resilient Carmen bares all; telling her side of the story and leaving no detail unturned -- with the true candor and raw emotion of someone who has been there; done that; and survived. From a clandestine relationship with Nass biggest rival; Jay-Z; that stirred up the biggest feud in hip-hop history; to seeing her reputation in tatters and a once loving relationship with Nas fall apart; Carmen depicts her trying journey to become the strong woman and mother she is today. After years of turmoil that included drugs; sex; greed; and violence -- and abandoning what she had always prized above all; her freedom -- Carmen took a stand; focusing on herself. After years of pursuit by the media; Carmen sets the record straight in Its No Secret -- and has no regrets.

Authoritative SourceBy TylerWhile the price may be high; the essays collected in this casebook are indispensable for anyone interested at all in tackling McDonagh criticism. It is THE source for serious McDonagh discussion that goes beyond the dismissals by other critics. Rankin merely organized and wrote the preface for it. Definitely worth reading if you can get your hands on a copy. I personally read mine through inter-library loan and would highly recommend others doing the same.3 of 10 people found the following review helpful. $96???!!!!!!!!By T.
