Yea, that's how I feel. I read a lot of biographies and this is the main reason I haven't read that many hip hop bios. Jay's and the Wu manual where pretty entertaining because they broke down their business plans, analyzed their rhymes and had pretty interesting back stories but neither one was really well written. I think it took me less than a day to finish both of them.

Is Quest still comming out with a book? That'd be dope on him going into his musical influences more than anything else.

The best music bio I've read is the Slash biography.
