It's a palette cleanser reading month for me, so I'm reading the tagged book and listening to music. Here's a top 50 list from Questlove, and a playlist of the songs mentioned in the 1979-1982 section.

Another great book by Angie Thomas. Thomas does an amazing job with creating complex characters who are dealing with real life issues. I also loved the character dynamics.

CBee I love Eminem 👏🏻 6mo

lil1inblue @CBee #hardsame Although I didn't expect he would be where I found hope today. 🤣 6mo

CBee @lil1inblue sometimes it definitely comes from unexpected people or places! By the way, I find hope in YOU. I don‘t know if it helps, but to know that most of us here are in this together is comforting. Keep doing what you‘re doing ♥️ 6mo

Hip-Hop Is History | Questlove

so-so

The history of hip hop, dissected by one of the greats. All the big rappers are here, as are some of the less famous but equally important. At times, I had no idea who Questlove was talking about. I guess that‘s the point. Quest tried to make this friendly for those of us who may not follow hip hop music in depth, but it is clearly hard being a genius and trying to dumb it down for us plebeians.

I don't have anything special for #tuesdaytunes this week, but I had the urge to blast some Eminem this afternoon after all the patients had checked out of the clinic. It was funny hearing him railing against George W. Simpler times...

How can Angie Thomas's books just get better and better? So glad I listened to this as an audiobook. It has all the vibes, all the depth and all the pain. Honestly, I, once again, felt ashamed to be born as a white person. Seriously, there's so much going wrong in this world, but this book still sends out a huge message of hope.

AnnCrystal Never be ashamed about being Caucasian. You have a heritage or heritages within you to be proud of, embrace your people's history. Be proud of the good and learn from the bad.

I am American and American Indigenous with other heritages of Mexican Indigenous and Spanish.

The Spanish has a lot of negative history with the whole “invading and conquering.“ Yet the heritage is part of me, and there is beauty there that should not be denied.

Jari-chan @AnnCrystal Thank you for your kindness - it means a lot 💖🫂 I try to do my best with the privilege I have. But I might need to search deeper to find something to be proud of when it comes to my own heritage. 10mo

AnnCrystal @Jari-chan every culture has their ancient beliefs, perhaps begin there. That's what I like, and the myths...along with the dancing and the music. Best wishes on your journey 🫂😘💕💝. (edited) 10mo

E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX | Earl Simmons, D, DMX, Smokey D Fontaine

pick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m not really certain why I picked this up right at this moment. Maybe an Audible sale that I decided to get from the library? I‘m often a frugal reader. Anyway, this was published in 2003, so long before his tragic death. Therefore, it‘s not complete, but learning of his tumultuous childhood, how his love of dogs developed, and how he got started musically was 100% worthwhile. DMX didn‘t narrate, but the guy who did has a similar voice.

Interficial Artelligence: The Moments That Met Me | Chuck D

bailed

As I am still sick, I will continue with written reviews. I did not even get halfway through this book. I was so excited to get this ARC since I love Chuck D. The illustrations in it are interesting. He talks about meeting other famous people and the role they played when he met them. The reason why I couldn't read all of it was the book format. Review continued in comments.

booklover3258 It's paperback and the writing continues from the 1st page to the 2nd in the margins and it's super hard to read since some of the words are in the middle of the book. I would literally have to tear out the pages in order to fully read the words. Hopefully when the book comes out next year, this will be fixed and I can read and enjoy it. 12mo
