Description
'Riveting and poetic…Abdurraqib's gift is his ability to flip from a wide angle to a zoom with ease.
He is a five-tool writer, slipping out of the timeline to deliver vivid, memoiristic splashes as well as
letters he's crafted to directly address the central players, dead and living.' (Washington Post 2019-
01-26)'Warm, immediate, and intensely personal...This lush and generous book is a call to pay
proper respects not just to a sound but to a feeling.' (New York Times 2019-01-30)'Abdurraqib's
book doesn't attempt an arm's length, scholarly approach to analyzing the group and its music;
instead, Abdurraqib speaks from his own experiences, often in the form of questioning or
appreciative open letters to members of the band. It's a bold conceit, but if the book loses a bit of
reserved objectivity in the process, it gains much more: an emotional grounding for why the group
was so important to the author, and, by extension, why their music should matter to readers, too.'
(Foreword Reviews 2018-11-08)'Even those who know little about the music will learn much of
significance here, perhaps learning how to love it in the process.' (Kirkus, Starred Review 2019-12-
09)'Go Ahead in the Rain is more than just an homage to A Tribe Called Quest…it's more like a
reckoning. The result is a critical examination of the group—their message and history—as well
as a musical memoir of sorts, and an exploration of the lasting impact music can have on the soul.'
(Vanity Fair 2018-12-20)'Abdurraqib explores and exposes the power of music, of art, to not just
connect with people, but to connect people, to make movements, to inspire change and revolution,
on levels both large and small. In powerful, poetic language, Abdurraqib makes clear the legacy of
ATCQ, both the one the group called upon for their own creation and the one they left behind.'
(Nylon 2019-01-02)'Go Ahead in the Rain is an accurate, honest documentation of the band, their
music, and the time…Brilliantly entertaining, informative, and self-reflective. This is essential
reading.' (February Indie Next List 2019-01-02)'[Abdurraqib] allows us into his own history
alongside the groundbreaking group, blending personal, musical, and cultural insights into
something that truly resonates. ' (Buzzfeed News 2019-01-04)'The book comes to life when
[Abdurraqib] speaks from his own experiences…Although Go Ahead in the Rain is a no-brainer
for devoted hip-hop heads (even those who think they've read all there is to know about the
group), Abdurraqib's poetic homage to ATCQ (and hip-hop in general) will captivate casual music
fans as well.' (Booklist, Starred Review 2019-01-08)'Go Ahead in the Rain is a literary hybrid: part
academic monograph on the group and its music, part pocket history of hip-hop, part memoir, and
part epistolary elegy. It is a book that conveys the wonder of being a fan and the visceral impact of
experiencing the feeling of having oneself reflected back in music and pop culture.' (Publishers
