My Voice by Angie Martinez Book Summary

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Angie Martinez is the “Voice of New York.” Now, for the first time, she candidly recounts the story of her rise to become an internationally celebrated hip hop radio icon.
 
In her current reign at Power 105.1 and for nearly two decades at New York’s Hot 97, Angie Martinez has had one of the highest rated radio shows in the country. After working her way up as an intern, she burst on the scene as a young female jock whose on-air “Battle of the Beats” segment broke records and became a platform for emerging artists like a young Jay Z. Angie quickly became known for intimate, high-profile interviews, mediating feuds between artists, and taking on the most controversial issues in hip hop. At age twenty-five, at the height of the East Coast/West Coast rap war, Angie was summoned by Tupac Shakur for what would be his last no-holds-barred interview—which has never aired in its entirety and which she’s never discussed in detail—until now. 
 
Angie shares stories from behind-the-scenes of her most controversial conversations, from onetime presidential hopeful Barack Obama to superstars like Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown, and describes her emotional, bittersweet final days at Hot 97 and the highly publicized move to Power 105.1. She also opens up about her personal life—from her roots in Washington Heights and her formative years being raised by a single mom in Brooklyn to exploring the lessons that shaped her into the woman she is today.
 
From the Puerto Rican Day Parade to the White House—Angie is universally recognized as a powerful voice in the Latino and hip hop communities. My Voice gives an inside look at New York City’s one-of-a-kind urban radio culture, the changing faces of hip hop music, and Angie’s rise to become the Voice of New York.

Great Read. Great Book, honest, it’s like hearing her speak.

The writing was ok. I enjoyed the stories and following along to how she got to where she is now but I found a few spelling typos in the book that made me lower my review.

Good read. Amazing book

Great great read. You did it, Angie! Congrats on the book. This is literally the first book I've ever purchased & I enjoyed it. Angie brought me back to the good days of music and that whole Newyork/golden era of rap scene. While I was reading it, I heard Angie's voice in my head; this book is VERY her. I love it!

Amazing. It was like reading the soundtrack of my life! I walked down memory lane with this one. Light and fun, full of hard knock lessons and a confidence booster. Great summer reading. Hip hop you are the love of my life!

Who is Angie?. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love how Angie was able to tell her story. It was like I was able to hear her voice, tone, humor, anger, and occasional sadness through these words. I'm from Texas so I didn't have much familiarity with her on radio or as an artist but just based on my brief exposures to her on YouTube, the breakfast club ( which led me to purchasing this), and the book I was I've taken quite a few gems that I hope to use today. Great job!

I love you Angie Martinez. Amazing book, i wish it didn't finish. I felt all the words, all the chapters. I was definitely connected.

Great Read. A trip down memory lane

Must Read. A must read for any true hip-hop fan!

Amazing read!. As a music lover thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Angie is truly one of a kind!

my voice. This book was amazing. Loved all the dip stories. Your a true media goddess!

Page Turner!!. Nothing but entertaining. It was cool getting a look into the life and times of a radio G like Angie Martinez. One can only hope to have a career as rewarding.

If you love hip hop. If you are from that generation when hip hop just started or a little after you will definitely relate and love this! It's a must read no joke. Good job Angie

Great book. I loved reading this book . I could not put it down .

Amazing. I love the story. I love the grind, I love the mistakes, I love the risks that were took. I love everything about this book.

My Voice My Memoir. This book was amazing. I have a new found respect for Angie Martinez. I liked her before but she is not a close friend in my head😂

Even more impressed than I already was.... Angie Martinez ... Wow. What a sensational story. As a Puerto-Rican from the Bronx and a fan of hiphop I've always looked up to Latinos involved in the culture including miss Angie but I wasn't aware of so much of her story and I was glued to every page. Now when I hear her on power 105 I light up even more. And I understand so much of her story and honestly could apply a lot of the inspiration she gives in her story to my own life. Kudos Angie.. As part of the culture I Thank you. As a Latino I thank you. And as a fan I thank you. Great read. 💯

A journey through the birth of hip hop history. Great book, very inspiring.

An Unexpected Gift. I stumbled across this book and I figured why not it seems interesting. It was amazing! We are about the same age, I also grew up in the Bronx so it was so relatable. It was like having a conversation with an old friend peppered with great nuggets of wisdom. Her writing style is very enjoyable, I can "see" what she is describing in words. I couldn't put the book down.

Great read.... Read it in two days, brought back a lot of memories from the era she was talking about as well as learning behind the scenes. Ang deserves so much credit of being a part of almost every historic moment in hip hop.

Page Turner. This is definitely a MUST read book. Very inspiring and enlightening. Love the Tupac interview...!

The voice of New York. Growing up in NYC, this book re-took me through all the events that occurred in hip hop. Angie tells the story from her point of view and I got to see if from a journalist position. I was moved, inspired, and every other emotion you can think of. I want to thank Angie for writing this. In this age where social media makes every event a blip, I got to feel again what it's like to live in the moment and soak in the present time. Excellent book.

Inspiring. I loved the book from beginning to the end. Very inspirational I've always been a fan of Angie Martinez. God Bless

My Voice. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😜

Does Angie ever disappoint us??. U literally feel like you are sitting there with Angie when she interviewed Pac, or when she called Mary J. Blidge to borrow some money. She took us back to 9/11, as well as Senator Barack Obama's campaign trail to become president! I loved the book, so many important event throughout history being told for her point of view was amazing. And the pictures in the back were a plus to put faces with all the names in the look like Lorena and Pec. Must read! I repeat! Must read!

Honest Recount of a piece of history!. Great book! It was an interesting and easy read. I read this book in a day. I wanted to keep turning the page. I'm glad Angie decided to put her history in a book where people can read about hip-hop, the culture, radio, loyalty and be inspired for years to come! Great job! Sidebar: Angie seems like a cool chick with a great heart and spirit!

My Voice. Angie did her thang! Nice recap from her perspective.

From @Dj__Harris. Great book can't wait for the audiobook 🙏🏿

Not a fan!. I saw the writing and thought it would be an interesting book to read. I'm not really familiar with this person, but I thought maybe the story would be relatable anyway. I Guess it's more interesting if your A fan.

Witness. I thought this book was excellent, as a fan of hip-hop thanks Ang!!!!

Inspired. Truly enjoyed Angie's book. It was interesting to learn and know more about Angie's background story. For many years I've listened to Angie Martinez on the radio. Now I feel as if I know her better. Thanks for sharing your story Angie Martinez ✌🏽️.

Simply amazing!!. I finished this book in five days!! Amazing story and a more personal look at Angie Martinez. She truly is hip hop

Wow ... Just Wow. I have listened to you since I was a kid and from the moment I started reading I had tears in my eyes. Partially because being Latina and a NY'er I am proud of you. I invested my ears on your voice for years. When I was living in Miami and you were now syndicated I was ecstatic. So to read your story and know that you can be from a single parent home and make it this far just shows that as long as you want it and you want it that bad you can have it!!! God bless you Angie Mar!! You are an inspiration to many! Thank you!!!

Real!!!. Amazing book! A must read!

Great insight and inspiration. Angie Martinez is a true representative of hip hop culture, Latinas and women! Very detailed experiences and insight on the hip hop culture shifts, radio and her impact through it all. Absolutely appreciated chapter 4 California Love, chapter 5 Unbelievable and chapter 10 Heart of the City. A must read. Finished in a week! Couldn't put it down!

A great read for all hip hop fans. "Angie Martinez IS HIP HOP" and this is a great read and it gives great insight for any true hip hop fan. .... Thanks "Ang" for sharing the memories.

Inspiration. Amazing ! Inspiring! I’m so glad I’ve read this book. Thank you Angie 💚

Amazing!. Angie did an amazing job with this book. Not only does it take you back to the era of the best hip hop, but it brings you back to so many iconic interviews she had on the air. Her drive and ambition is seen throughout the book. Great job Angie!

Amazing book!!!. This book was so good..I didn't expect it to be. It was no drama just genuinely real

My Voice. Absolutely phenomenal. A very good read. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end.

Sigh. Not very inspiring, interesting or exciting

YouBetter. Besides my mother Oprah Winfrey Ellen Degeneres you Angie Martinez well let me not forget to mention all my grandmothers Celestine Mattie and Earlene my aunts Veverly and Althea are why I hold women in the highest regard I read this book in 5 hours just want to say thank you and one day I'll tell you this in person

5 stars. Required reading for any hip hop fan

Thanks for sharing!!!!. An amazing insight to a voice that I've listen to everyday pretty much for the last 15 years. She has represented New York Hip Hop to the fullest as a Hip Hop head that came up at the same time as she did, she has done us proud!!! Love her and keep pressing the Gas Sis

Use your VOICE!. Angie's book was awesome! Very well written and relatable. I don't want to make her sound old, but it was like taking a hip-hop history course. Each story that she shared ended with a lesson to learn and something to apply to life. Definitely a must read! Congratulations Angie Mar on everything!

A must read. One of the best books I've ever read from start to finish. Angie Martinez is an inspiration

Inspirational. I love this book so much! I constantly think about it when wondering what my career choice should be. I would love to work in radio. But since I didn’t put in the work that Angie did, then I feel like it’s no point. She’s so passionate about what she does. I just want to find that same passion in something. I just love her and glad she decided to share her life with us!

Great read.. Really enjoyed reading this book. It took me down memory lane. Felt like I was growing up all over again with Hip Hop and Angie always there to guide me.

PICK THIS UP NOW. I love Angie Martinez, always have and always will! She is an inspiration not only to the hip hop culture, latin culture, or true NY culture but to woman! Shes struggled conquered and such much more. Even if your not into heavy hip hop this book was so extremely will written I was able to live thru or re live thru everything with her words! Great job Ang!

Great. I loved the book Angie. It was cool reading about and getting to know the person behind the mic I've listened to for so many years.
