two months pass...
so has anyone read triksta yet?

I'm halfway through and undecided. the book's pitched uneasily between self-deprecation and self-aggrandisement and as much about his history of self-mythologising as it is on bounce/NO rap, but his love of the music does pour thru. purple prose a bit hard to take at times tho...

hmmm I'm still on the fence about reading this. Cohn's early stuff is classic but you're right about "purple prose" the old gaga New Journalism approach often seems self-indulgent in the 21st century.
