“Even shit has trace
nutrients in it” – Old Man at the bar
This conversation
lasted hours, not because we were bored, but because we were bored and
drinking. As there were many choices, we had to condense it.
Prolifik: TV raised us man. Can you admit that?
Q Double: I mean, yeah, it raised us in ways, Sesame Street
and Mister Rogers had us at a standstill.
Pro: Think about it man, we can quote “The Wire” for hours;
we can break down a scene from “The Godfather” into life lessons. Shit man, TV
and movies got the best life lessons out there.
Q Dub: Like the scene with Omar and Bunk in “The Wire,”
where they talking about the days when the game was more structured and how it
changed for the worse.
Pro: Indeed, that scene right there says a lot about the
code and what----
Q Dub: Code! Code! That shit long gone.
Pro: Man! You know how many times I watched that scene.
Muhfuckas would just hear the dialog, I paid attention to everything. The background,
foreground, and paint color, all that shit. One of my favorite scenes from the
show.
Q Dub: Fam, you really got to stop smoking.
Pro: Why the fuck for?!!!
Q Dub: *sigh* My shit is the scene in “The Social Network”
when Sean Park talking to Mark about what he did to change the industry. Sean
Parker basically said “fuck the rules, those days are over! Get money, do
drugs, and fuck models!” That’s my go to movie when in a slump.
Prolifik: Yoooooooooo!!!! What about the Kid-n-Play dance
scene in “House Party.” If you could pull the whole dance routine off you were
the man.
Q Double: That’s when it was cool to dance; before we found
out that being a wall flower was a better way of enjoying yourself.
Pro: House parties were epic man, epic! *opens up another
beer*
Q Dub: That scene with Bodie and McNulty is Fire too. We he
finally realized he just a pawn on the chessboard.
Pro: That was that full circle moment, do remember in the
first season where D’Angelo was trying to teach them about chess. He really didn’t
listen then. Now he finally got it, but it was too late. *sips beer*
Q Dub: Fake ass Socrates. *opens up another beer*
Pro: The Game is rigged man.
Q Dub: Greatest scene ever then??
Pro: When Michael got Vito killed. Shit was deep man.
Q Dub: Nah, whole Godfather was great, hard to put that into
scenes.
This here is a e-book from Nova Giovanni. It's a compilation of what he has written on his site, www.NovaGiovanni.wordpress.com. His style is innovative, educational, and outside the normal-style of politically correct shit people do, similar to here at I.S. Take a look at his book, the prequel to his next book, "The Mis-Edukaton of The Nigga," as well as other ventures he will be doing.
This book is in more projects and house in Black America than any religious book. You can meet somebody a stone’s throw away and I 77% chance they know of are read this book. Managers and CEOs and drug kingpins live by this book because it’s a blueprint to all the shit that goes on in history. 50 Cent is the perfect example who followed these laws to a tee and ended up knocking out his competition and taking his spot. To only drop the same music his opponent was and made the masses forget who his opponent even was. There’s a reason why this book is in the business section of bookstores, take note of that.
2.Aesop’s Fables:
I bullshit you not I, and read the original version. Just goes to show that no matter how much as a people/culture we say we've evolved. “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,” “The Miser,” “The Tortoise and the Hare,” those stories got morals that are good for you when you older and for the younger kids who don’t know shit. Those good old life lessons from way-back-when remain as relevant as ever.
3.Sun Tzu "Art of War:"
Fuck all the philosophical shit, my man Sun Tzu teach you the art of killing a muhfucka with tactical skills and precise ingenuity. He teaches how to keep the moral of the army happy and satisfied so when the time of war comes they’re prepared and ready to go at it. This been translated into business form but in my opinion hold no weight to the original scrolls.
4.The Man Law:
There really isn’t a book for this. That’s because Man Law should never be written, it should only be learned when in the company well inform and knowledgeable guys over drinks at the bar, the barber shop, sporting events, and never around the company of women. NEVER EVER around women. There’s been whispers of there being a Woman Law out there but that’s impossible because women can’t even keep a group of 10+ friends with them shitting on each other
5.Merriam Webster’s Dictionary:
This is for all those who can’t right for shit. The ones who think there to good for this because they graduated the 5th grade and that’s all the words you need to know. That is true you can keep that grammar and make it in this world. Because there will always be room for another to make fries when the kids come out of school for the after-school rush.
6.Greek and Roman Mythology (and Norse and Egyptian fuck just read all things mythological):
Zeus, Athena, Anubis, Isis, Medusa, Mars, Apollo, Odin, Loki, Titans, Ragnarok, Hades, Prometheus, Venus, Asgard, Ra and all that other dope old school shit is the best ever!!! That shit might not work so I’ll say there’s dope art that they had back then that would be dope ass tattoos.
7.The Autobiography of Malcolm X:
Read the book and stop telling people you know who Malcolm X is because he got shot by the man who said “get yo’ hands out my pocket!!!!!”
8.Paulo Coelho "The Alchemist:"
This is one of these books that has a good story but means something different to people. Highly recommended to read and if you all need a co-sign, Will Smith swears by this book and he is highly successful and got a bad ass wife I wouldn’t mind making serious fuck too.
9. A Law Book:
Why have the Constitution and a few law books in you library? Well, why the fuck not? Some people out there get there criminal advice from Law and Order, CSI shows. Then, if that doesn’t work, you go to the dude who was in juvie for 6 months because he should know the law, I mean, the muhfucka was in jail. Sometimes you can’t get your advice from someone who “heard” that’s what happens. Keep a law book in your house and pay attention to the court system because how you think Casey Anthony go off, wasn’t because she listen to Gucci Judicial Words of Wisdom.
10.Steve Harvey "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man:"
We deliberated this one heavily; because here at I.S. we have no love lost for Mr. Hightower and his misguided, fuck boy ways of making this book and then another one after that.
…But…
I say have this book in your collection because most likely all these females out here following this bum ass advice when they out in the streets looking for a man so you might as well know what he spewing into their head. Strags out here really think that they’re meeting the family within 90 days or 6 months (some shit like that it been awhile since I looked in it) of a relationship. Steve Hightower gave females a book on trying to be men and now he gets called a “relationship guru.” Read this book and take it as a conversation starter.
I know I didn’t put Confucius or Shakespeare or James Baldwin or Dale Carnegie some other shit you might be mad at, my advice: go buy them shits too. This was only a template not the rules written in stone, this are books that you might need to get you to that level of higher power besides snorting up coke or smoke pounds of weed. The greatest power you can have is your mind, make use of the shit.
