“Eleven hours, twenty minutes. Still no word from Aunt Pooh.”
Well, my colonoscopy got canceled (luckily before I started the prep) because the provider couldn‘t make it. So an unexpected day off to enjoy a sandwich and blended latte and start a new book.

I‘m not into rap, I did listen to a few the first songs at reg speed but, in the end at 1.75 like the rest. I‘ve heard a lot of good things about him & so, I‘m naturally curious, more so about the business & philanthropic things though. Great listen overall.
pickWhen I first read this book, Hip-Hop, the music and culture, was in its late teens. It‘s the late 90s & George documented the socio-political environment that created the perfect storm for the creation of a new, black cultural movement. Inner-city poverty, gangs, drugs and a need to escape and party gave us Rapping, DJing, breakdancing & graffiti. This is as powerful & “real” a study as you could get at the time & is still an important commentary.

I read absolutely nothing in April, so I am keeping the same choices.
Is this book interminably slow or does it just seem like it because I‘m listening to it as an audio book?
