New Yorker review!

I’m fighting a stomach virus, so I’m sorry but you’ll have to wait on updates. But this and this is certainly helping!

Jeff! It was definitely nice meeting you on Sunday at the Brooklyn Public Library. I think that you handled yourself well – especially when the questions arose about hip hop’s roots in Brooklyn and Queens…I don’t know if I would have handled it so diplomatically as you. I am still in the middle of reading your book and am constantly reminded of how a li’l gal from a Bay Area suburb like me became enamored with this music + culture we now know as hip hop. Peace, yvette

Sup Jeff, nice briefly talking to you at the Brooklyn Public Library as well. Glad to see you’re getting the exposure that you deserve. Great book, and I wasn’t critiquing you when I said the book ended aruptly, just stating that I didn’t want it to end just then! haha. peace, Danny
