Sunday night reading.
Beautiful day to read up on the origins of Dr. Dre and Eazy-E.
Really fun audiobook!!!!
My husband is happy I am done with this audiobook, and will no longer be sending him texts with random hip hop facts.
This book was so interesting and put into perspective the fact that gangsta rap was born out of real violence, poverty, racial discrimination, police brutality and drug abuse. Gangsta rap has become this vintage, ironic, kitchsy thing, but the reality is that it was truly a dangerous game.

When two audiobooks become availble at the same time...after being on hold for weeks! Which one should I listen to first?

Not the best month for reading, and even though I planned to read during my Thanksgiving break, I read zero books. Too much going on and too much turkey. However, I am already in the saddle again. Here's hoping Christmas Break is better. I am so close to 100 books for the year.
This book needs a spot on reading lists for Black Lives Matter. Detailed & unflinching on the rise of gangsta rap in the era of crack, Rodney King, & crumbling cities, this book gives context to issues alive today. A chronicle of how N.W.A. voiced the anger, spirit & frustration of black youth and stuck it in politicians, the FBI and white america's living rooms. Equally fascinating is the close look at how music pioneers, though flawed, operated.
I started this book yesterday, and OH MY GOD I couldn't put it down. It's a fascinating and engrossing story. It's not just fluff though. It has researched facts and first person accounts. Very readable for nonfiction. #nonfictionnovember
Waiting for the kiddo in class, gonna crack this open.
