5.0 out of 5 starsPick this up, and do the Knowledge
By Robert on August 19, 2008
Format: Paperback
First off, I'd like to thank my barber Keith for throwing this one my way, I was just going in for a haircut, and I think we started talking about books, and I must say, I was a skeptic at first. For one, heads is always trying to hustle somethin' in the barbershop, most of the time-from my experience at least-it aint no good. I been through too many barbers trying to run a hustle on me. I'd be the loyal customer for years, and dudes would try and rise prices outta nowhere, not be persistent with the cuts and all that nonsense, but this dude was different. How was he different? For one, he sold me this book, and he's persistent in his cuts, same price all the time.
Lol, anyways I took this book home, and thought I'd skim around and see what it was about, and I was sucked right in. I was reading "Click" a book on networking, but had to put that down for a minute, and I was just 50 pgs. shy of finishing that. This book has a lifetime worth of food for thought: lessons from the authors life, as well as the stories and lives of others, to study over your lifetime. It covers ground on just about anything, from healthy foods, to women, to the pimp game, the rap game, communicating effectively, to religion, to how the crips were formed and what their original mission was, to the black panthers, Cointelpro, the real story of slavery, the drug game...etc. I go to Cal Poly, Pomona, and recently took a course on the black diaspora and we didn't dwelve this deep into some the subjects this book goes through, which took a whole quarter and this book a few pages.
What I like about this book to is that it sometimes asks you questions and makes you read and think critically, and brings you to go out and do the knowledge yourself.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsLessons in the Game
By OOSA Online Book Club on October 26, 2008
Format: Paperback
What makes Supreme Understanding qualified to write a book entitled "How to Hustle and Win"? He has robbed people, bought, sold and used drugs, been arrested and gone to jail. He's been a rapper, a spoken word artist, owned a million dollars worth of real estate by age 24. He graduated from college with honors and got his doctorate by age 26. These are just a few things that make him qualified; he knows first hand "the streets" and he only bettered himself to get away from them.

"How to Hustle and Win" touches upon everything and anything. The key to reading this book is that you can read it in any order. It has so much information, from famous people, to movies to see, to quizzes, to cleaning up dirty money, to legit hustles and hustling skills and so much more. Supreme Understanding will have you laughing at times with his bluntness and realism and on the next page will have you really thinking about things. "If you're looking for answers - to almost any question - you will find them here. The mind is the world's most powerful weapon - and this is all the ammunition you need."

In reading this book, it does seem a little intimidating with how much the author touches upon. If you just pick up the book and look at the table of contents, you will see how much information is given in this book. Just pick a spot and start reading, I guarantee you will be pulled in by the knowledge and words that come off the pages. This is a very informative read that everyone should read. You can tell that the author did his research and sharing of his personal experiences.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot an Option
By Devotion on August 18, 2008
Format: Paperback
I would like to thank this author for reminding me of all of the things that I had forgotten and giving me the added spark that was needed for me to reach and teach the youth! This book is for anyone young and old who has any interactions with the young. Although many may think that this book is for young males alone, I have found that there are things in this book that have no gender barriers. This book should be on every bookshelf in Urban America!!! It should be used as a learning tool in schools and it should be given as holiday gifts instead of the typical gift. This book is more valuable than any diamond, any pair of Nikes or any Game System. This is a REAL JEWEL. Youth, know that there are people who have been where you are and have Hustled to Win to get where they are now. Learn the rules to the game and never lose again.
Peace,
Devotion

5.0 out of 5 starsJust by reading the title, you would have no idea about the amount of knowledge contained in this book!
By A. Taylor on March 24, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
What a read!! I bought this book off a random search for something else. I read a few excerpts and was immediately drawn in. Although this book is geared towards guys, there are sections that women could take heed to as well. My boyfriend has kidnapped my book. He didn't know it but actually had the opportunity to meet the author before knowing who he was. If you are skeptical about getting this book, GET IT!! Share it. Buy one to give as a gift for any young man, or young woman, that might not be going down a positive path. Even if they are on a positive road, get them this book. There is knowledge in here for everyone regardless of their current standing in life.

3.0 out of 5 starsInformation with no plan
By Nir@d on August 8, 2011

This book represents everything right and wrong with the American ghettos. On one hand you have the ghetto mentality mindset that questions everything which is good. The act of questioning is the first step in acquiring wisdom, however many in the ghetto never truly acquire wisdom because wisdom is obtained by following a path, and that takes discipline. Sadly the ghetto youth does not have the discipline to acquire wisdom at the present time. The ghetto youth is miseducated by ex-cons, most of which know nothing outside their own little island or ghetto block and mix half-truth rules with schemes that lead to the dead-end cycle we call ghetto life.

The dead-end cycle I speak of is the thug life mentality that plagues the ghettos of American. The thug life mentality is by its very nature created out of desolation and chaos and can never be thought as something to aspire to be or to perfect.

I see minority youths of America, many without father figures and decent homes, getting their education from ex-cons, rappers and drug dealers who may know the "rules of the game" but lack human decency. Capturing the minds of the ghetto youth will not be done by getting them involved in complicated rules of the game or procedures as outlined in this book, but by humanizing them to fight for equality. Most ex-cons are dead inside and have no sympathy for human life. These are the ones instructing the youth to acquire riches by hustling the system and human nature.

What I dislike about the book is it merely aids in assisting "playas" to get the better of the "game" without doing much else. The book loosely collects truisms and aspects of ghetto life which one must be accustomed to if they are to survive living a ghetto life.Read more ›
