Touré is the ultimate douche, like possibly the biggest tool/prick type dude the Earth has to offer! With that being said, I still believe he’s gonna do right by this & help make this an interesting read.

I dont know about the whole “tell all” thing. I am sure he has some interesting stories. Everyone in the late 90s NYC rap scene got plenty of life stories. But the concept of a tell all from someone as intelligent as Nas is disappointing. It is a little femanine to me. His BM already wrote one.
I would love to see a Nas book talking about his spiritual side. The impact Christianity and 5% philosophy has on his rhymes. The evolution of his style, but not a tell all.
We are gonna see a whole bunch more books from late 90s rappers. Steve Jobs made it damn near impossible to make $ by just making music. If you wont buy the CD maybe you will buy the book.
