Akon releases new book “Thug Politics”

Your favorite underage-teen-humping star Akon will be releasing a new book called "Thug Politics" that will ironically be released under C Murder’s book publishing group Tru Publishing. I just wonder why C Murder, who is a convicted murderer, has a book company. "Thug Politics" will be about Akon’s life growing up and will be due out in stores this April or May. Look for it in your local bookstore in the "Thug" section next to "Children’s Books" and "Religion." Via: Highbrid Nation

Excerpts from Kayne West’s upcoming book

Kanye West has just posted excerpts from his upcoming book called "Thank You and You’re Welcome" on his official site. The book is now available for pre-sell
on Kanye’s site for only $10 and the first 500 will be autographed.
Smart move on his end, since the book is self published Kanye won’t
have to split the revenues with a book publishing firm. It is due to come out some time this month. Check out the excerpts after the jump.

Exclusive: A Look at Ghostface Killa’s book “The World According to Pretty Toney”

WoooHah.com has been fortunate to get a look at Ghostface Killah’s much talked about book "The World According To Pretty Toney." The hardcover book contains the words of wisdom that only Ghostface Killah’s alter-ego Pretty Toney can deliver. It’s a quick read and more like a coffee table book…but it is definitely one that EVERY hip-hop head should have displayed at their house and for everyone who wants to keep it hood. Some of the funniest stuff I have ever read.

Eminem’s mother writes a “tell-all” book

While Eminem has kept out of the spot light since the passing of Proof, his mother is now stepping into the spotlight and has written a "tell-all" book called "My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem." I’m assuming the "tell-all" part of the book is about her son Marshall’s bouts with depression and not about her secret famed Mathers tuna casserole.

A family friend tells Life&Style
magazine, "She just hopes he’ll read it and realize how loved he is.
She fears she’ll end up burying him unless he gets help… We all see
him teetering on the edge of self-destruction."

Wu-Tang Clan graphic novel in the works

Sanford Greene, current artist for the DC Comic "Wonder Girl" and the artist of MF Doom’s "Venemous Villain" cover art is now working on a Wu-Tang Clan graphic novel with the help of Method Man. No details on plot, dates, etc. but considering the current state of Wu-Tang let’s hope its not a Ghostface and Raekwon vs. RZA battle. I would much rather see the Wu fighting together on the same side vs. the evil forces of The Taliban, Osama Bin Laden or Kimora Lee Simmons. Check out an early concept drawing of Method Man along with some of Sanford’s awesome art after the jump.   

Kanye announces new book “Thank You and You’re Welcome”

Kanye West announced on his official blog that he will be coming out with a book by the end of this year called "Thank You and You’re Welcome." It will be available for pre-sell on Kanye’s site for only $10 and the first 500 will be autographed. Smart move on his end, since the book is self published Kanye won’t have to split the revenues with a book publishing firm. In his own words, Kanye says…   

"It’s dope….10 bucks. I teamed up with co-author J. Sakiya Sandifer to
make my literary debut with Thank You And You’re Welcome!, an
entertaining volume of "Kanye-isms "– the creative, humorous and
insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating my path to
success. It captures the same wit, playful irony, and piercing insight
found abundant in my lyrics. In Thank You And You’re Welcome
I deliver my personal message uncensored, without any five-second delay
or media distortion. I’ll post some sample pages within a week…"

Kanye’s co-writer J. Sakiya Sandifer is also well recognized in the publishing and creative industry as an uplifting and positive force where he also does corporate motivational speeches. He is also head of the company We Think, LLC. I am surprised Kanye didn’t release this book last week when 50 Cent released his new book "50×50."
