Book excerpt: From the founder of the Wu-Tang Clan—celebrating their 25th anniversary this year—an inspirational book for the hip hop fan. The RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, imparts the lessons he's learned on his journey from the Staten Island projects to international superstardom. A devout student of knowledge in every form in which he's found it, he distills here the wisdom he's acquired into seven "pillars," each based on a formative event in his life-from the moment he first heard the call of hip-hop to the death of his cousin and Clan- mate, Russell Jones, aka ODB. Delivered in RZA's unmistakable style, at once surprising, profound, and provocative, The Tao of Wu is a spiritual memoir the world has never seen before, and will never see again. A nonfiction Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation from the author of The Wu-Tang Manual, it will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.

Download or read book The Wu Tang Manual written by The RZA and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wu-Tang Manual is The RZA’s first written introduction to the philosophy and history of Hip-Hop’s original Dynasty, the Wu-Tang Clan. Written in a style that is at once personal and philosophical, The Wu-Tang Manual unravels the intricate web of personalities (and alter egos), warrior codes, numerological systems, and Eastern spiritual ethics that define the Wu-Tang dynasty. Packed with information that reflects the breadth and depth of the RZA’s — and rest of the Clan’s — intellectual interests and passions, The Wu-Tang Manual is divided into four books of nine chambers each, for a total of 36 chambers. All together, the book provides the breakdown of essential Wu-Tang components, from basic information about each of the nine core members of Wu-Tang Clan to deeper explorations of the key themes of the Wu-Tang universe, a dictionary-like Wu-Slang lexicon, and an entire section of Wu-Tang lyrics with densely annotated explanations of what they mean. For the hardcore Wu-Tang disciple and the recent initiate alike, The Wu-Tang Manual is the definitive guide to the essence of Wu, one of the most innovative hip-hop groups of all time. The RZA's most recent book, The Tao of Wu, is also available from Riverhead Books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover The New Rules for Relationships and Dating Relationships are hard... especially for successful individuals. Achievers always want the best for themselves. But why is that harder to apply when it comes to relationships? Balancing your professional success with building a happy and fulfilling relationship is a real struggle. You deserve to have professional success and love at the same time. The good news is that you can have them both. The rules of dating have changed since the world has evolved. Both men and women can be successful and powerful, and that changed the dynamics of relationships. The rules of relationships have become more complex because people are looking for fulfillment beyond basic physical or material needs. And it doesn't help that social media is constantly promoting the negatives of being a successful individual when it comes to relationships. It's easy to look at the other person and point out what they do wrong. "Men are this way, and women are that way, and therefore love is impossible." The solution is found in The Middle Ground. Part One of this three part book focuses on how we got here, who you are, what you qualify for and how to get what you qualify for. As an Executive and Commercial Leader, Glenn has spent the previous two decades developing relationships and controvugors in various industries. In his consultation, personal or relationship topics often arise. Glenn concluded there were some similarities with individuals that were experiencing professional success. The lack of relationship success is based on a lack of understanding between both parties. The when, why and how are discussed here: This is THE MIDDLE GROUND. Since meaningful relationships and human connection are more difficult to achieve, The Middle Ground focuses on helping you assess these essential aspects: • Identify what you really want. • Recognize what you qualify for. • Get crystal clear on what you want from others. • Find out how to get it. This book will help you find balance in your romantic life, no matter the challenges you face in your career and profession. Are you ready to have the romantic life you dreamed of?

Download or read book Raw written by Lamont "U-God" Hawkins and published by Picador. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as a Best Book of the Year by Esquire "Couldn't put it down." –Charlamagne Tha God "Mesmerizing." –Raekwon da Chef "Insightful, moving, necessary." –Shea Serrano "Cathartic." –The New Yorker "A classic." –The Washington Post The explosive, never-before-told story behind the historic rise of the Wu-Tang Clan, as told by one of its founding members, Lamont "U-God" Hawkins. “It’s time to write down not only my legacy, but the story of nine dirt-bomb street thugs who took our everyday life—scrappin’ and hustlin’and tryin’ to survive in the urban jungle of New York City—and turned that into something bigger than we could possibly imagine, something that took us out of the projects for good, which was the only thing we all wanted in the first place.” —Lamont "U-God" Hawkins The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Remarkably, none of the founding members have told their story—until now. Here, for the first time, the quiet one speaks. Lamont “U-God” Hawkins was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1970. Raised by a single mother and forced to reckon with the hostile conditions of project life, U-God learned from an early age how to survive. And surviving in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was no easy task—especially as a young black boy living in some of the city’s most ignored and destitute districts. But, along the way, he met and befriended those who would eventually form the Clan’s core: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, and Masta Killa. Brought up by the streets, and bonding over their love of hip-hop, they sought to pursue the impossible: music as their ticket out of the ghetto. U-God’s unforgettable first-person account of his journey, from the streets of Brooklyn to some of the biggest stages around the world, is not only thoroughly affecting, unfiltered, and explosive but also captures, in vivid detail, the making of one of the greatest acts in American music history.

How would it feel to now be at your rock bottom, now staring at your doom? You want to live, but death’s on your back, and it’s a throwdown—who wins? Wonder if you received a call on a phone you thought to be disconnected, and on the other end is a call that may change your life? But it’s an old crime mate of yours. Do you answer or not? We explore all those questions and more with a lot of twists and turns as you journey along with the main characters, Shameek Johnson and Supreme Jackson, as they go from small time to big time too. I promise you will be surprised at the decision they will make to continue to exist. So again, Is wrong ever right? Buckle up. There is no speed limit here.

Download or read book The Bible Will Be My Textbook written by Raven M. Brown and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some may read the title and say “I’m not really a religious person” and feel it’s not a book they are interested in; but today, when our news feeds are inundated with fake news and propaganda to incite fear and push agenda, leaving us feeling hopeless, lost, defeated, and searching for answers, this is just what you need. I cover some of the main topics that have dominated the news, such as abortion, LGBTQ matters, increased bullying, and suicide, as well as forgiveness, parenting, relationships, and the law of the Lord and the law of the land so that you realize a choice exists that you must make. As laws and norms change, people are feeling confused and conflicted, and we see a society that has lost hope and that needs to know how to navigate through these dark times of uncertainty. If you or someone you know has ever been in a dark place, has lost hope, wavered in faith, wondered what your purpose is, wondered if God exists, sought the truth, felt alone, discouraged, has self-medicated, suffered from addiction and depression, or has contemplated suicide, divorce, an abortion, a sex change, or even getting a tattoo, you will find answers from sound doctrine, with accompanying scriptures, and will discover the mysteries of God as they are unfolded within that will increase your faith and renew your hope in God and mankind. It is my hope, prayer, and belief that upon reading, you will be richly blessed and have a zeal for life that will lead you to a life of prayer, repentance, salvation, and a relationship with God. I hope the kingdom of God will be increased and not only lives but souls will be saved. Be strong! Be encouraged! Be blessed!
