Born To Use Mics, by Michael Eric Dyson and Sohail Daulatzai. Anyone who's familiar with Michael Eric Dyson should know he is a big fan of Nas , and he has been talking about writing this book for some time. The Amazon descrip has this to say of the novel: "The best and brightest writers of the hip-hop generation reflect upon the era’s landmark album: Nas’s Illmatic. From the moment then nineteen-year-old Nasir “Nas” Jones began recording tracks for his debut album the hip-hop world was forever changed. Released in 1994, Illmatic, was hailed as a masterpiece and is one of the most influential albums in hip-hop history. In Born to Use Mics, Michael Eric Dyson and Sohail Daulatzai have brought together the brightest minds to reflect upon and engage one of the most incisive sets of songs ever laid down on wax." The novel will be out on December 28th. Whether hip-hop related or not, it's good to log off and read a book, every now and then.
