Mama Phife Represents: A Memoir by Cheryl Boyce-Taylor
2.0
All Over the Place
Phife was one of my favorite hip hop artists. My love for him made me want to love this book. It was so scattered and hard to follow. That makes sense because it’s mean to be a glimpse into his mother’s grief. I know grief can be incoherent and confusing. This book was just so disjointed. There was a lot of rambling. The few tidbits that were about Malik were enjoyable. Overall, it left me feeling cheated.
