We Do It

Chris Rock said "N-ggas don't read!" Well, such is even more proof that I am not that. I am currently reading two thrillers:

Triksta: Life and Death and New Orleans Rap

by Nik Cohn

To say this book is unorthodox is an understatement. It is written by a white guy born and bred in New York, yet he has a love for New Orleans' rap culture like no other. I've just begun reading it, but I'm already thoroughly enjoying it. He doesn't seem to be sugar-coating anything, which is always best. Long live New Orleans rap.

Brother Ray

by Ray Charles and David Ritz

Anybody that knows me well knows that I am a huge admirer of the life and music of Ray Charles. I happened upon this book in Borders while looking for Triksta. I saw it and just knew that I had to have it. I'm really looking forward to reading the book from the genius' point of view. Really looking forward to it.

These are the two books that I am ingrigued by. As I pick up more books, I will be posting them. If you all will excuse me, I am going to get some chapters in.
