Oh…it better be a fictional, because TI has not learn enough to do a non fiction on the streets. Then again he might
I’m not buying, but I’m still a TI fan though.
Is he comparing Tiny as Beauty? #FAIL
another gangsta lit book about some hustler that came from the streets and made it and didnt’ forget the trap. another story where women are ryhme with witches and throwing money in the clubs, jail, baby mommas and so forth did I miss something.
Ummmmmm….think i will pass. Damn is there any substance left in urban lit?

@eb That was such a good book
@lovezoe Do you follow the chick on twitter? I’m nosey so I do
I could see it now:
Chapter 1
“The possibilities of the repercussions of the conundrums of the streets astounded me. I just could not fathom the immensities of the responsibilities surrounding me. I cried out irreprehensibly and capably and envisioned the promised land somewhere far away from the strongholds that succumbed me.”
@Daisy, don’t follow her,but I do go read her tweets. Messy messy!
