After the jump, check out the foreword of Curt’s book with Robert Greene. Considering 50′s success, maybe other rappers should rip a page out his book too. The 50th Law drops September 8th.









Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

How you are a young man and not pick up this book….Like we have never seen a man from the ghetto rise to this much wealth before our own eyes ever..well speaking for my generation..and i am 23…This guy embodies success,determination,desire and dedication
This looks to be something anyone trying to get they shit right should read.
But I don’t feel like Curtis is the one that should be expanding on Greene’s great works. I see how one could take him for a Makiavelian figure, but I just don’t see it. There are certain rules that are altered due to levels of melanin and perception and I don’t think 5-0 entertains nuance or enough history to reveal a truly iconic persona. I think luck has a lot to do with what has propelled him (no hate), but that doesn’t quite translate into the type of credibility & perspective this book requires. Shorter = This is Sean Corey’s territory…
I think this is gonna be a serious book. A modern day classic. I’m copping it.
