As expected after reading There's Always This Year, I adored this book. As someone who grew up in the bubble of Savannah private schools, I'm deeply embarrassed (but certainly not surprised) by how little I knew of the story of A Tribe Called Quest (and all the related 90s rap-related tales I learned in this book). So, while I should have educated myself sooner, I'm thankful that I got to hear the story for the first time from one of my new favorite writers. An added bonus is that I was turned on to a shit ton of albums that I'd never listened to (or heard of) before.
Would recommend for anyone interested in: 90s rap, the music industry, poetry/lyricism, or great writing – i.e. everyone on Goodreads.
