Reviews

[Jimmy Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Any fan of hip hop or pop culture in general should read this book. Byron Crawford was a troll long before trolling became popular. I use to read his blogs on XXL every once in a while and I’ve read all of his books (Although this is the first one I’m writing a review for WTF??). What I realized while reading this collection of his old blogs was how much better Byron Crawford has become as a writer. I definitely will be purchasing any future books he writes.
