Cali-born and bred, Robert Greene is known worldwide for his inspiring books on Seduction, Power and War. It would be time well spent reading any, if not all, of these books.
I recently found out that he collaborated with 50 Cent on a book titled "The 50th Law".
It is supposed to be an urban version of "The 48 Laws of Power". VIBE interviewed Greene a couple months back and here's what he had to say about hustlers:
"Essentially the hustler is a figure to me, thats very American. It goes back to the 19th Century. Its ingrained in our country. We've always kind of had that figure. But it kinda got taken to another level in urban America in the 20th century. Predominantly associated with the black hustler. The hustler is an entrepreneur. This book celebrates their mentality. These are people who are incredibly resourceful. They are incredibly inventive and creative. They just don't have the resources for anything that we consider worthy. But much of what they do is just as interesting as a business man or politician. Its working with the little you have, and making something out of it. The attitude, and the way they go about it fascinated me."
