I have to admit that I haven't listened to much rap, or at least the earlier stuff that this chronicles in such a beautiful way, and yet the way Abdurraqib writes makes me nostalgic for something I've never delved into.
I'm definitely going to have to look into his poetry after this if this is how he writes nonfiction.
This is the first book of Hanif's that I've read and it lived up to expectations. Poetic, nostalgic, present, weaving resonant stories from history, pop culture, and adolescence.
