This is really more of a live performance with a little commentary, vs. an audiobook. Common uses his own songs to illustrate his life, but the focus is much more on his existing songs, vs. new information about his life. I'd rather just listen to one of his albums (which are 4-5 star) or a conventional live performance.

(As a practical matter, this really doesn't work well as an audiobook for me -- I normally listen at 2-3x speed, which is great for normal spoken audiobook narration, which is often slower and clearer than normal speech. With this audiobook, the normal speech is fine at 2x and then he raps, which doesn't work at 2x at all...) ( )
