This book is the most important piece of Black Literature since Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the sun" and just as important to Hip-Hop as The SugarHill Gang's "Rapper's delight." It invites those tired of Black Harlequins to try something different. It also invites you to Be Real because Reparations to African-Americans are not coming any time soon.This new book is about Life, Love, Weed and the pursuit thereof. This is the kind of book that you can read quickly, but take a lifetime to forget. It is far more than the typical "From Hood ta Good" urban street literature. It is not about Hip Hop; It is Hip Hop. And it effectively adds a fifth element to Hip-Hop... Literature.The story begins with an urban setting and two roommates, but then it takes the reader on an articulate hip hop movement through the oversexed, verbally charged, and often humorous lives of the "disenfranchised." While on this journey the reader is treated to a nostalgic romp through the pages. In the m
idst of littering the scene with curse words, drive-bys, and police arrest the characters discuss topics from immigration, taxes, media agendas, slavery, foreign policy, complacency, reality shows, the economy, or just being a black man in America. These surprisingly intelligent characters sound-off on a great many topics including "Whether or not a black man will ever become president of the United States." Within the pages it unabashedly asserts that America's last bastion for truth is-- the ghetto. In this new contemporary piece of literature which provides the reader with enough social dialogue to last decades.
