The writing is terrible. It looks like a 3rd grader wrote it The writing is terrible. It looks like a 3rd grader wrote it. I was shocked as I kept reading. I can't believe this is the same guy who wrote "Have Gun Will Travel" about Death Row. That book was very well written and informative. This book is trash..

This book was not very insightful about Dr. Dre beyond what many of us have heard or read through the years. This book felt like one long article from Vibe or The Source.
