I always like memoirs where people are able to take the piss out of themselves, and U-God does that. Here's another example from his growing up:
Sadly, U-God and a few other Wu-Tang members subscribe to the bizarre "5 percent" theory, something built by the racistic Nation of Islam organisation, but apart from that, this book contains a lot of interesting and revealing stuff.
