The rest of it's a decent enough read, though. Cohn has form for being a bit of an unreliable narrator, but at least he acknowledges he's something of an interloper, which puts him well ahead of 99.9% of rock critics writing about rap.<br /><br />On the subject of menswear grief, anyone remotely near Jacamo territory should swerve Woolrich at all costs.

Nick Cohn doesn't try to present things in a different way though, and he makes a couple good points about how shit get stale pretty quick when a once-subversive music becomes an academical institution (i.e.: jazz, rock...). Also the chapter on Souljah Slim alone is worth the 5 quids you'll pay for the book.Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-24504978399591776512016-11-22T09:13:26.847+00:002016-11-22T09:13:26.847+00:00I've never even heard of that book, but it sou...I've never even heard of that book, but it sounds interesting.
