    Nah I'm thinking it makes more sense to have each week be reading and discussing the chapters at the same time throughout the week. Cuz the way I initially envisioned it was that I'd give people a week to do the reading, then the next week we'd discuss what we'd already read + would read the next handful of chapters. Anyway here's the original way:

    Week of 5/10
    1. Get the book if you haven't already (or let me know if you need a digital copy and I can send you one)
    2. Read the forward by Ice-T and the introduction that tells you about Serrano's criteria for choosing songs. I strongly urge you to read at least the introduction before you start the book because it will be important to our discussions!!!
    3. If you'd like, discuss the the intro and forward, and ask any questions about the book or book club process
    4. Read the first three chapters (1979, 1980, and 1981)

    Week of 5/17
    1. Discuss the chapters for 1979, 1980, and 1981
    2. Read the chapters for 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985

    Week of 5/24
    1. Discuss the chapters for 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985
    2. Read the chapters for 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989

    Week of 5/31
    1. Discuss the chapters for 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989
    2. Read the chapters for 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993

    And the modified way, which I think might make more sense if everyone;s with that:
    Week of 5/10
    1. Get the book if you haven't already (or let me know if you need a digital copy and I can send you one)
    2. Read the forward by Ice-T and the introduction that tells you about Serrano's criteria for choosing songs. I strongly urge you to read at least the introduction before you start the book because it will be important to our discussions!!!
    3. If you'd like, discuss the the intro and forward, and ask any questions about the book or book club process
    4. Read the first three chapters (1979, 1980, and 1981)
    5. Discuss the first three chapters (1979, 1980, and 1981)

    Week of 5/17
    1. Read and discuss the chapters for 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985

    Week of 5/24
    1. Read and discuss the chapters for 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989

    Week of 5/31
    3. Read and discuss the chapters for 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993

    Yeah I think that's cool. We all read at different paces as well as live at different paces. Some may finish the weeks reading on day one and others on day 7. It'll just be a continual conversation in the moment rather than waiting to have that conversation.

    I didn't call you a prick. I called you a pretentious prick. Seek to understand and then maybe you'll get it.

    I remember listening to J. Cole and Kendrick’s early work in 2009-10 and being so excited for the classic albums these incredibly talented rappers were destined to drop.

    Fast forward 10 years. We’ve gotten at least one classic album from Kendrick.

    Where’s Cole’s classic album?
