An unforgettable first-person account of Hawkin's journey - from the streets of Brooklyn to some of the biggest stages around the world - is not only thoroughly affecting, unfiltered, and explosive, but paints, in vivid detail, the making of one of the greatest acts in American music history. It is an explosive, never-before-told story behind the historic rise of the Wu-Tang Clan, as told by one of its founding members, Lamont "U-God" Hawkins. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

That's a spiritual thing. It's also a simple description. It's not a oh, I'm so cool, I can beat down anybody, yada yada.
This is also another revelation:
I always like memoirs where people are able to take the piss out of themselves, and U-God does that. Here's another example from his growing up:
Sadly, U-God and a few other Wu-Tang members subscribe to the bizarre "5 percent" theory, something built by the racistic Nation of Islam organisation, but apart from that, this book contains a lot of interesting and revealing stuff.
He writes a lot about becoming and staying friends with Method Man, which is quite lovely. Also, it reveals a lot of how much members of Wu-Tang actually contributed to the whole thing, not just RZA:
This was quite weird to read, apropos nothing:
There's also a lot of funny stuff in the book:
U-God also sets the record straight with RZA, and remember, U-God hit him and others with a 2.5 million USD lawsuit. U-God writes about that, too, but optimistically looks towards the future.
All in all, this book was interesting, well written, fun, and mainly it gave a lot of heft to U-God's story. ( )
