I'm throwing in the towel at page 335. I might come back to it later. This book is incredibly well researched and I got a lot out of it. However, as a casual hip-hop fan, so much of the musical history went over my head. I would like to remedy this, and maybe my next step before coming back is to read a couple of Questlove's books. I suppose I was also expecting more of a retrospective on the members of Wu-Tang and the Wu-Tang mythology than the music, which is my bad on multiple levels. You can't really separate the artist from the art. 

At any rate, this is an excellent book for people who already know a ton about the Wu and hip-hop in general.
