Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove by Ben Greenman, Questlove

5.0

Questlove, drummer for the Roots (Jimmy Fallon's house band), has written not only a unique and fascinating memoir, but also a sort of Hip-Hop History 101 for the casual observer. Stories about his upbringing in Philadelphia and the early days of the Roots are interspersed with lists of the albums that shaped his life. His editor, co-writer, and manager also chime in a few times about how the writing is going (that would be the "Meta" part). I learned a lot from this intelligent, riveting book!
