Waiting for Britney Spears : A True Story, Allegedly. by Weiss, Jeff.;
'Waiting for Britney Spears' is a gonzo, nostalgic, and mostly true recounting of Britney Spears' rise and fall during Jeff Weiss' years in the tabloid underbelly of Los Angeles. As Weiss lives through the years leading to Britneys conservatorship, he observes cringe-inducing fashion waves, a destructive culture of celebrity surveillance, and a country whose decline is embodied by the devastating downturn of its former golden child.Library Bound Incorporated

Jay-Z : made in America / by Dyson, Michael Eric,author.; Dyson, Everett,illustrator.; Williams, Pharrell,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references.JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson's decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he's sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he's been for so long. This book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he's always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z's career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Z's America as much as it's Pelosi's America, or Trump's America, or Martin Luther King's America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.
