They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This thing goes on in the top five books for the year.

 Hanif is who music is made for. Such thoughtful and contextual breakdowns of music of a variety of genres. Is descriptions and attachments to music and emotions and events can be found at the intersection everything physical, political, anything and everything.

He turned an audiobook experience into a conversation in such a natural way that even though the material is heavy from his own personal experiences to the experiences of people all over that it doesn’t weigh down as much as it lifts you up.

This book is proof that cross cultural divides you can be capable of empathy and understanding of a situation in which you have never experienced, and also proof that we all to some degree experience the same life.
