Didn’t think so 
Where were you during the theme meetings? haha
THIS IS JOKE!!!
UNFORTUNATELY THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST ARE PROBABLY NOT LITERATE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND IT, AND THOSE WHO ARE (LITERATE) ARE TOO CAUGHT UP IN THE COUNTERCULTURE TO GIVE IT CREDENCE.
This book is a must read for the young and the old, who need to “Advance Your Swagger”. Especially for those young adults who are freshman in college to those who just graduated from college. This book has all the tips you need for your career and everday living. So to the haters, please stop hating and take note.
I am confused. Why would he write a book about manners when his story about making a career with absolutely no talent is more interesting. I would be more moved to buy a book from him because without the SEX that Superhead provides he has been in the clique with everyone in hip-hop. It would be a good how-to-book for people to get into the industry when they are not an artist or a whore.
