Product Description

"For all y’all smart dumb cats out there." Legendary Hip Hop artist, Ghostface Killah, settles into one of his most popular characters?Pretty Toney?and offers readers a hilariously unique perspective on life via guides to and advice on everything from sex to gambling, family to education, even how to eat on just $5 a day, better known as The Hustler’s Diet. A singular twist on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the hip hop generation complete with illustrative photos. Born as a series of shorts on MTV2, Pretty Toney and his musings quickly became a channel and online hit, with fans uploading the shorts on YouTube and circulating them virally. The book will also include a CD of Ghostface reading the material, the perfect accompaniment to enjoying the book.


About the Author

As one of the original members of the seminal '90s rap crew the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah made an impact before he released his debut album, Ironman, late in 1996. Like all members of the Wu-Tang Clan, the rapper used the group as a launching pad for a successful solo career and Ironman debuted at number two on the pop chart. His work with Wu-Tang continues, as does his solo career. His 2006 album Fishscale was a top ten hit and on many top ten lists for album of the year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift Idea, January 20, 2009
By Thomas F. Mcgovern (Boca Raton, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you know someone who is not just into Rap, but immersed in hip-hop culture, theoretical lexicography, and the personalities within same, (Myself, I'm a Hip-Hop and Urban Linguistics Scholar,) this is the perfect gift. Inexpensive and very fun. I've been a big fan of Ghostface and his less than ordinary command of the English language and it's colloquialisms, and can tell you I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, which I bought for myself. I see a better application in gifting it, however, though I'm happy to have it on my shelf.

Somebody once said that Wu-Tang presses albums like newspapers (i.e. daily). But nevertheless, they've still somehow sustained a high "killer" to "filler" ratio, and maintained a... Read more
