The rapper named G. Twilight

It's a very detailed book. Iceberg has an uncanny ability to put the reader directly in the middle of his madness. His story telling abilities are out of this world. However, after having some experience in the street and dealing with personalities similar to the ones he described in this book, I see things differently. I think a lot of this of this is embellished for grandeur and entertainment purposes. For one, he was high practically the entire book and anyone who has drug addicts in their family, knows about their ability to think on their feet and how grandiose their lies are. Secondly, Iceberg mis-pimped throughout the entire book which is why he kept going to prison. This should be a no-contact sport and his constant brutality just seemed so pointless. The purpose of it all should be to elevate yourself and people you know to the next stage in life.. you know, like starting businesses, home ownership, stocks, bonds, IRA's, etc., but he wasted so much of his time getting high. In a way, the drug was the real pimp. Heroin was his master, so Heroin was running the show, not Iceberg. The are other P's from his time period, like Bilbo Gholson (author of The Pimp's Bible: The Sweet Science of Sin) who did have drug habits and beat their women nonstop the way 'Berg did. Iceberg Slim gave the game a black-eye and fed into many of the negative stereotypes about the game and Black men in general. This book is a manual of what not to do in the street. I stand by what I said.

I never understood why people trashed this album.. I mean sure, the lack of Dr. Dre's supervision on production is definitely felt, but lyrically Snoop stepped it up. His content game intensified after being exonerated from a charge that could've cost him his life and after Tupac's death.. I think he had a lot more to talk about on this album and his growth as an artist and as a person can definitely be observed if you actually listen to the words and not just the beat. Plus Tray Deee was dropping heat rocks on this one. It was most definitely a classic album. Slept on, but classic.
