The book's first four chapters provide a history of the drug trade in southeast Queens. In the late 1970s and early clay '80s highly organized street pharmaceutical companies began moving large amounts of cocaine and heroine throughout neighborhood blocks. Sparked by a massive migration of the urban poor from Brooklyn into the once clay safe black working and middleclass community of Hollis, local hustlers took advantage clay of this densely populated pocket of poverty and pain. The crews of Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols, and Howard "Pappy" Mason were known to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. The author notes that the drug trade was so lucrative that rather than competition between crews, their success promoted a level of "blinged-out" camaraderie. Queen's hustlers were known for lavish parties, mansions, yachts, and even bulletproof luxury automobiles. |

| paperback by Jonathan L. giant Walton :. e-mail this article :. print this article :. comment on this article When "Keeping it Real" Goes Wrong: The Fall of the Hip-Hop Hustler In his first book Ethan Brown offers an engaging tale of the confluence of hustling and hip-hop in southeast Queens. Brown, a pop music critic and contributor for New giant York magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Village Voice, articulates how the combustible careers of 1980s Queens drug kingpins have been transformed into hip-hop folklore by contemporary rap artists. In the process, rappers and record labels discovered that the marriage giant of hustling and hip-hop brings more than increased record sales. This largely forced union, according to the author, leads to federal investigations, indictments, and/or death. In other words, hip-hop as role playing -- think the new PS2 videogame 50 Cent: Bulletproof in which players lead the gun-toting rapper through the New York underworld -- is proving to have very real consequences for an entertainment industry all too consumed with street credibility and urban legends. |
