Great book, uninformed narrator

I had this same problem with Shea’s book Basketball and other things. The content of this and that book are wonderfully nostalgic for me and I love the stories and love reminiscing. I had a tough time listening to the narrator butcher names through out the whole thing. Other than that, fucking brilliant.

If you love hip-hop, you’ll love this.

Equal parts informative, hilarious, creative, and thought provoking, you need to hear this if you’re a hip-hop head.

Another incredible book in Shea’s catalogue. Well done, sir.

Great book and great narration but...

So I loved the book just I love everything Shea puts out. If you are a hip-hop head you have to listen and buy the book for your coffee table. My only gripe was the narrator. I mean come on, how do mispronounced rapper names, Pharoh Monch should not be pronounced, MONK. Treach is not TREEEEch. Method Man's Tikal not TEEKILE. Other than that definitely worth every penny.

Good pastime reading - meh voice actor

A lot of blog posts. Maybe it would've been better if I read it.
But to his credit, this is well studied and you can tell the author took great efforts to expand his horizons of hip hop. He rarely shows a favor for any era or subgenre of hip hop. He shows the whole culture love.
The voice actor was meh. He mispronounced a few words and names. It kind of took me out of the story at times.
