Things Fall Apart is a dope book. Not sure how anyone could dislike it.

 

[danikerhino]

I'll be sure to pick up that book in the next few days.

He always seems like he is speaking in toast to me.
He is right though, we are cowards. Whites afraid to speak their true minds, and blacks afraid of being called delusional.

They put him on pause mad times. I hate these little one on one battles nothing ever produces out of them. Its like they didnt even argue.

[shortydoowopp]

i'm down what are we reading and how will we work the discussion part? we'll probably need a new thread just to keep it organized...

 

[chi ill]

What are we supposed to be reading ?

 

[polo sport nyc]

question...which rappers are the future voices of the black communities???

i posed a statement on Twitter *coughs* twitter.com/thewrapupnyc *coughs*, and i truely feel that David Banner, Mysonne, & Buju Banton should be at thefore front of all hood affairs...it sounds crazy but they speak of such straight foward common sense that i believe they can make hard heads listen just alittle more...

 

[abeautifulhaze]

Im going to update in a few.

We should probably start with " Stolen Legacy ".

Very short, very powerful read.

 

[shortydoowopp]

i love David Banner...to hear his speak with so much passion is such a turn on...i have Stolen Legacy already so i'm down with that?

We makin questions as we read to ask each other or is there gonna be a study guide type thing?

 

[blazinjkid]

I've gotten that a lot here in my 8 years on NT. *shrugs* I guess it's just that PG County swagger.

Are we going to try to keep this focused solely on the book(s) at hand, or are we free to contribute whatever? I don't wanna derail this...

 

[shortydoowopp]

i think we need a new thread to discuss the books...

 

[mr kuter]

Just read through this entire thread yesterday. Took hours, but got it done. Haze you always tryin to spread knowledge, its a beautiful thing. I'm gonna goto the library today, and get stolen legacy and things fall apart. I think we should have weekly themes, aside from the book or movie reading. And Haze youshould just pick them. AfroLatino could be a topic. Egypt. Black Panther Party, etc. etc. My 2cents. Peace.

 

[mr kuter]

Damn. So much for enlightenment.

 

[rlak824]

Stolen legacy what is the book about? sorry If I have not done the proper research. I am currently at work on my lunch break so I am away from a computer.

 

[daytona 5000]

A must read.
