About this listen

 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

This “beautiful tribute to a legendary artist” (Quincy Jones) is the first in-depth biography of Nipsey Hussle, the hip-hop mogul, artist, and activist whose transformative legacy inspired a generation with his motivational lyrics and visionary business savvy—before he was tragically shot down in the very neighborhood he was dedicated to building up.

For Nipsey Hussle, “The Marathon” was more than a mixtape title or the name of a clothing store; it was a way of life, a metaphor for the relentless pursuit of excellence and the willpower required to overcome adversity day after day. Hussle was determined to win the race to success on his own terms, and he wanted to see his whole community in the winner’s circle with him.

A moving and powerful exploration of an extraordinary artist, The Marathon Don’t Stop places Hussle in historical context and unpacks his complex legacy. Combining on-the-ground reporting and candid interviews, “Rob Kenner has given us the book the world—and hip-hop and pop culture—has been waiting for…one that should be celebrated alongside the best biographies ever about iconic figures we have loved—and lost” (Kevin Powell, author of When We Free the World).

Great book only thing I disliked was an eloquent voiced person narrating trying to pronounce street slang, every word was like nails on a chalk board.

Great insight into his life

Overall, I loved this book. The performance and story was really engaging. I was always well aware of Nipsey Hussle's music, but not really aware of his life and how he lived. I am amazed at his accomplishments and all that he did for his community.

The way this book was written really illustrated how Nipsey's mind worked and his real knack for business. He took his time and really thought hard about how his business decisions affected him. I would have loved to have met him to pick his brain.

A very good listen

Listened to the first half an hour and it was a Jew sucking nipseys dead nuts like a cuckhold.
I expected to hear about his struggles that made nipsey hussle who he was. But instead the book is a Jewish geek riding his meat hoping it would make up for his Jewish ancestors slave ships

Boring
