pick#Hoopla #NBAnonfiction2019 Abdurraqib is a very gifted writer. With amazing elegance and verve, he weaves the story of the early rap group A Tribe Called Quest with observations on race and culture. There are aspects of memoir as well when he relates how the group‘s music impacted him at pivotal points in his youth. I am not a music lover and certainly don‘t listen to much rap, but the language and passion of the author kept me rapt. 4.5⭐️
