chantel nouseforaname's review of Dilla Time

5/5: There's this feeling you get when you read something by someone who really cares, like realllllllllly cares about what they're sharing.

Finally got through it, and it was really good. Dan Charnas did the damn thing.

Best book on Dilla that I’ve ever read.
