never drank the kool-aid (2006)

Never Drank the Kool-Aid (Touré)

i found this gem of a book just browsing around in the bookstore. i currently lack the funds to buy any books but the cover and subject matter just drew me in. a collection of re-printed essays (mainly on hip hop personalities), touré was an unknown writer to me but his work appears in rolling stone, the village voice, vibe, etc. i'm a huge fan now of writing style and have definitely jumped (perhaps belatedly) on his band-wagon.
