Maybe I am too old for all this "hip hop" slang stuff. Diamond Drought had so much unnecessary slang that I lost focus on the plot. All it talked about was bling bling and expensive cars. I see where Brandon McCalla was trying to take it, but my advice to you Mr. McCalla is that your book will be read by more than just rapping hip hoppers. For anyone interested in this piece, make sure you're not over 30! For the 30+, be careful about reading this one, you won't understand all the language. Speaking of which, it is full of bad language. I didn't like this one at all.
