absolutely floored by this book.

like, really—dan Charnas interviewed every person you could possibly consider being even REMOTELY within J Dilla's universe and writes such a holistic, cohesive and nuanced description of this legendary rap producer, without hyperbole or further mystifying his image. even more, he doesn't shy away from acknowledging any of Dilla's faults.

highly detailed, highly engaging, very well written. extremely great journalism.
