\"\"Over a decade and a half after its 2005 publication, the young readers edition of historian\/journalist\/music critic Jeff Chang\u2019s seminal Can\u2019t Stop Won\u2019t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation<\/em> seems almost overdue. The enhanced collaboration with historian\/journalist\/professor Dave “Davey D” Cook adds new generations of makers and shakers, resulting in an enlightening, entertaining, sobering masterpiece.\u00a0Covering over a half-century of history from the 1960s through the COVID-19 pandemic, Chang and Cook provide a stunning political, socioeconomic, musical melding.<\/p>\n

The audiobook, unfortunately, is disheartening. The duo alternates voicing the four \u201cLoops,\u201d with Chang\u2019s steady gravitas making him the stronger narrator. Cook\u2019s passionate delivery occasionally hampers his enunciation; mispronunciations (\u201cSa-I-Gu,\u201d for example) loom. The most egregious blunders belong to the production team, with countless jarring insertions reminiscent of spotty cell connections. And why awkwardly embed just phrases \u2013 \u201cwith its redbrick buildings,\u201d \u201cfrom San Fernando Valley\u201d \u2013 instead of re-recording full sentences?<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>:\u00a0For sound purists, choose the page.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong>:\u00a0\u201c22 Noteworthy Audiobook Adaptations of Young Readers Editions,\u201d\u00a0School Library Journal<\/em>, June 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n

From the introduction:\u00a0<\/strong>All the titles here are nonfiction; most feature difficult subjects including history, climate change, systemic racism. Some might ask, why expose younger readers to challenging, unpleasant, haunting truths? One of the featured writers, Hilary Beard, provides the consummate answer back in her introduction to\u00a0The Burning<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026the fact that something is upsetting to us doesn\u2019t mean that we should not engage it. Facing the truth empowers us to understand our self, our neighbors, and our world more accurately; to make appropriate choices and decisions; to heal the past and present and build a more promising future. Together.\u201d<\/p>\n
