Review

"But know this: It is good* (fun good, not War And Peace good). And it is entertaining. More importantly though, it is insightful." --Houston Press

The 47 page e-book offers an entertaining prospective into the mind of an independent artist who managed to carve out his own very comfortable financial niche amongst hip-hop s financial elite. The self-proclaimed Black Suze Orman offers sound financial advice in the humerous tone fans have come to recognize via Thugga s lyrical wordplay and re-tweetable Twitter commentaries. --MTV News

Excellent Advice, Delivered with Wit and Humor

ByD. BuxmanTOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon July 30, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'm not sure why I bought this book. I'm a middle aged white guy and pretty clearly not the intended audience, but when I heard that Slim Thug had written a book on financial advice I couldn't resist so I downloaded the sample and was hooked. Compared with most of what passes for financial advice on CNBC, this stuff is actually pretty useful.

Slim Thug didn't have many role models, but he's had a lot of experiences and those experiences have taught him some valuable lessons that apply to everyone. I hope that fans who listen to his music buy this book. It will be worth the investment many times over. Although it's not a lengthy volume, Slim Thug doesn't waste time with useless filler. He's come up with a set of rules based on his experiences and they are pretty sound. He talks about the wisdom of setting up multiple streams of income, diversifying your assets, spending within your means and setting up a savings plan. He also delivers smart life lessons like, "If you wanna be a boss, think like a boss." In addition, he addresses the breakdown of the family in America and has some pretty interesting things to say about freedom and responsibility. Be advised that some of the language is rough, but this book makes sense.

Considering the vastly different backgrounds that we come from, I found myself agreeing with many of his ideas, that would best be described as Libertarian and pro-freedom. I thought I would give this book 1 or 2 stars for making the effort to provide financial advice to people who really need it, but the content and the humor made this a 5 star book, even though it is a bit brief.

Great for this young generation.

ByA. Carteron January 3, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If your expecting an amazing literary piece like a poem or Aristotle writing its not here. This is short, simple, and straight to the point. Some very simple rules and ideas that Slim Thug lives by that keeps him recession proof. No, no plan is perfect but I think if many would have had the mindset that Slim Thug shows through this book they would have avoided the recession. Not to say it wouldn't have affected them but to a small extent. He basically gives you a rough course through why living beyond your means is going to get you absolutely no where. If you have a teenager or young adult who loves hip-hop get them this book. Note there is offensive language sprinkled throughout so read the book first for yourself. You'd be surprised how quickly your teenager or young adult would pay attention to this and possibly follow the rules. I wish I would have had this book back in high school. It would have helped me make some very smart monetary decisions and not always ask my parents for the latest and greatest. The best way I can call it is street smarts with money.

Not what I expected from a rapper

ByDK Yuon July 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is not the type of book I expected from a rapper, I admit. There seems to be two extremes when it comes to books written by rappers - thoughtless garbage or top notch writing. This is more in the middle ground, which I found surprising. After hearing some of Slim Thug's songs, based from the lyrical content, I approached this book with a bias. You won't get any thought provoking musings like the writings of KRS-ONE, but the bulk of this short book carries a really solid message. I was really expecting garbage.

Many youth today don't get the education they need to manage their finances correctly. I find it slightly ironic that a rapper wrote this book, since you always hear of rappers being horrible with financial management. Slim Thug is a hustler that was able to break down his life experiences and put them in very common terms. I like that. The advice is the book is very sound and it's written in a way that is direct and easy to understand. I think that is really important. He tells you where he comes from, his thought process, and you quickly understand how and why it works, and more importantly, the concepts are not written in such a cryptic way that you would have a difficult time applying them to your own life. There is enough sprinkling of humor to keep it entertaining, the length isn't intimidating, and the writing is simple. This book is something I would give to some of the younger people I mentor since the name would catch their attention and get them interested enough to read through it.

On the down side, I would say that this book is far too short and doesn't give any in-depth instructions, as well as the last few pages being obvious filler with tweets from Slim Thug's Twitter account. I didn't expect him to be articulate enough of a writer to compose an entire book on financial planning, but when considering the target audience for this book - I doubt people who haven't heard his songs to even buy this - it works really well. He is standing up as a rapper and doing something that most rappers out there are not doing, being a role model for finances, leveraging his name to reach out to an audience that constantly gets bombarded by the wrong messages. That's definitely something I find commendable.
