Poor fidelity intro, sloppy production

Revisado: 04-12-19

The subject matter of the book is great, but this audiobook production is poor.

First of all, the preface read by Shepard Fairey has the fidelity of a burger king bathroom - it is unlistenable.

But the more bothersome issue is the sloppy performance/production moments, of which I two stand out. First - I played it back five times and I am certain that when the reader is talking about Vanilla Ice’s To The Extreme album in the 1990 chapter, at one point he accidentally refers to him as “Ice T.” I imagine it’s an unnoticed mistake, but the target listening audience for this book are nerds like me looking for knowledge, and that’s an unsatisfying error to say the least.

The second example is what drove me to type this up. While listening to the 1993 chapter I realized that the reader reads the same passage twice in a row. In other words, we hear the passage about the release of Eazy-E’s It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa on October 19th TWO TIMES IN A ROW. They are clearly distinct performances of the passage, but apparently no one caught the duplicate passage in post. So this is another sloppy mistake.

I am still on 1993 but I am going to grind my way through because I want the information. However, for the casual listener (if that exists for this book) and for someone looking forward to this audiobook release, this is all pretty underwhelming and distracting AF.
