Nas fans should read

Why do so many of yall buy these books?
Have yall heard of this thing called a library?
They let you take books for free temporarily and read them. They also let you download books to your phone online.

It's dope owning the book

A lot of people into reading books like having a book collection. I let friends borrow them and get their opinion on the book.

This thread is reminding me of some books I forgot I owned. Some books I bought like 20 years ago I'm gonna go back and read some again cause my memory is Larry status

Yeah I really Scarface book a few months back. It was ok but he really didn't go into depth into some subject matters but I understand why. It was sad to hear that Jay Prince really wasn't giving him the money that face should have been making .

I read a few pages and I agree, he breezed over a few things. It's only like 200 pages .

If that white broad Julia Beverly did a Face bio....

This was good talked about the failed Jay Z Ford truck deal.
