Here on this list--and other places--there has been an ongoing debate on the worth of street lit--hiphop lit, you go girl books.
My literary heroes tend to be the likes of Gwendolyn Brooks, Ralph Ellison, Toni Cade Bambara, James Baldwin, Robert Hayden so you know where I stand--but I say to each his own. I don't read most of the so called trash, but I will not decry anyone else reading it.
At least they are reading something.
What, all you who decry the new black books, do you have that they should read instead? |

Def Jam, Inc. by Stacy Guereseva
Queens Reigns Supreme by Ethan Brown
Raising Hell by Ronin Ro
These books jump into my head as something readers of street lit can relate to and still be enlightened by - presumably. LOL |

You certainly aren't learning, chrishayden. What was obvious apparently didn't occur to you. Now go back to square one and try to move forward with clarity of thought. |
