I knew I was going to love this book. Ice-T keeps it real always, and who couldn't like that. I love how he came out of the ghetto, but still keeps in contact with those from the ghetto, and lives a wealthy-celebrity lifestyle. His children have their own crosses to bear and he lets them make their mistakes so they can learn. I was never a fan of his rap music, but I respected what he did. He came out during the time when rap was at its best. I still like rap, but some of this gangsta stuff isn't for me, and obviously, not for Ice-T either. When T was coming up the ranks, that's when rappers were super talented. Not that there aren't some today, but not like T's era. Tracy Marrow is one talented man--father, husband, rapper and actor, and he manages to keep it all together. His wife Coco is his right arm. He's blessed to have her. I love a woman who stands by her man, and she definitely does!

One thing he states throughout the book, there are two categories everyone falls into: Either you're a pimp or you're a ho! And depending on what stage you are in life, depends on which hat you're wearing. Lots of people get mad at him for stating the obvious, but that is one of the truest statements ever. He doesn't sugar coat the game at all. You've got to respect this brotha. I know I do. You alright in my book, Tracy! He gives some damn good advice, and people should definitely take heed to it! He knows, he's done it all--literally! This was an outstanding read! He gets 5 stars for not telling all, and stating what needed to be said! I definitely have love for Ice-T!
