This book is truly one of common's greatest works. The insight he gives on all of his experiences makes you feel as if you are right there with him. That is a gift that very few writers have.

This book did exactly as the author described, showed a person on there journey in it entirety and its not complete at this time . To see and hear someone as a person in a new way that you have seen and heard before awesome.

Sometimes in life you have to surrender yourself to a higher calling. Often it's a painful process. Rashid shares a candid view of his self as process, struggles, successes, loves and losses with grace in One Day. He exhibits a readiness for spiritual, physical and emotional expansion that is sexy in word. His relationships run deep and are presented as a critical component to his stardom which is a priceless and refreshing perspective. Not only does he tell his story, he shares a real perspective complete with grit and intelligent reflection. I recommend this book as a coming of age tale. If you are a contemporary of his like I am, he will make you remember those parallel dots you must look back on and connect for yourself. I learned a great deal about myself through the vivid accounts from both him and his mother. It was a shared story for all three of us. Bravo.

insightful, intelligent, and entertaining.

I love his outlook on life. I respect him even more as an artist after reading this book. God bless to anybody who reads this book and to everybody in general

This book is a wonderful insight into a poetic mind. It provokes introspection and provides great encouragement to be who you are and all that you can be! A magnificent read I was sorry it had to end. Anyone with a dream, anyone who loves hip hop culture, anyone who struggles with being themselves and being successful, anyone and everyone should read this book.

His name says it all "common sense"

Going back to the Can I Borrow a Dollar? days I've been a fan and nothing he does (outside of Electric Circus) surprises me. This book is no exception. Well written, inspirational and insightful. He let us get a glimpse of his private life while keeping it trill and not trashy. Recommended highly.

Interesting insight into the life of one my favorite MCs. I really could relate to many of the themes relating to maturity, fatherhood and relationships. Less of Mom would have improved the book.

This was a great read from start to finish. I think this book should get more spotlight. Something our youth should be taking heed to.
