Product Description
"For all y’all smart dumb cats out there." Legendary Hip Hop artist Ghostface Killah settles into one of his most popular characters, Pretty Toney, and offers readers a hilariously unique perspective on life via guides to and advice on everything from sex to gambling, family to education, even how to eat on just $5 a day, better known as "The Hustler’s Diet". A singular twist on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the Hip Hop generation complete with illustrative photos. Born as a series of shorts on MTV2, Pretty Toney and his musings quickly became a channel and online hit, with fans uploading the shorts on YouTube and circulating them virally. The book will also include a CD of Ghostface reading the material, the perfect accompaniment to enjoying the book.
About the Author
As one of the original members of the seminal 90s rap crew the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah made an impact before he released his debut album, "Ironman", late in 1996. Like all members of the Wu-Tang Clan, the rapper used the group as a launching pad for a successful solo career and "Ironman" debuted at number two on the pop chart. His work with Wu-Tang continues, as does his solo career. His 2006 album "Fishscale" was a top ten hit and on many top ten lists for album of the year.

Great Gift Idea, Jan 20 2009
By Thomas F. Mcgovern - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World According to Pretty Toney (Hardcover)
If you know someone who is not just into Rap, but immersed in hip-hop culture, theoretical lexicography, and the personalities within same, (Myself, I'm a Hip-Hop and Urban Linguistics Scholar,) this is the perfect gift. Inexpensive and very fun. I've been a big fan of Ghostface and his less than ordinary command of the English language and it's colloquialisms, and can tell you I've thoroughly enjoyed this book, which I bought for myself. I see a better application in gifting it, however, though I'm happy to have it on my shelf.

Guide to the Hustler's Life, Jun 4 2010
By G. Herrin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World According to Pretty Toney (Hardcover)
I love this book! That said, it was not the worth the money. I love Ghostface, but this book hardly has any text and is very short. There is a CD included in which Ghostface gives his thoughts on the book. I wish he would have put more effort into this book. The book is funny and insightful as always. If you are a true fan of Ghostface I would buy this book, otherwise, spend your money elsewhere.

Amazing, hilarious, and lessons that every wannabe hustler should learn. Buy 2, and give one to a friend in need (i.e. all of them)
