I read that born to use mics it barely had anything to do about Nas music or Illmatic. A whole lot of reaching

Same here. I thought I was going to get an in depth making of Illmatic and what each song meant. Very Disappointed

 

[semicko82]

Yeah, it skipped around A LOT.

IMO it was a very interesting read.

Anybody knows any good books on hip hop history (including very beginning) on the west coast / in the south?

edit for the west coast: besides "original gangsters" by Ben Westhoff and "six in the morning" by Daudi Abe, or those two are sufficient?

 

[DrHackenbush]

Anyone got that Ego Trip Rap List books on pdf?

This book and especially the audiobook is gonna be another Interesting listen. But I hope the chronological order will be better this time. My Infamous Life was all over the place.

Maybe good for 2001 when the book came out, but that was almost 15 years ago. DJ Vladmir Putin has had artists from Death Row talk about their stay there. There's a guy on YouTube called JMIX and he does interviews with artists close to 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. He asks questions that you actually wouldn't have thought of or even knew the alleged answers to.
