It was a private school for students taken out of the public school system, and had parents that wanted something greater for their lives, and was willing to pay for it.

And as for Trick Baby not being made into a film--the rights were sold, so even if the finished product was a combination of two books, it's not wrong to say that the movie was made.

Buckley to critic Iceberg Slims works and compare some of Slims words to Hip Hop Was a good insight to my feeling of Hip Hop. I am one that does not care for most of the rappers lyrics they belittle their Grandmothers and Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, and all women in a light that says these males does to appreciate women to be calling them itches and an other name other than the name the were given at birth. We have children calling adults, teachers old people on the street it took what little respect that women had taken away and the young women's think it is cool How sad they really do not know. That most males have a very short lit on female or where they came from (the males) Dr. Muckley I have read his work in the past but his recent work is very enlighten and respectfully done. I read most of Iceberg Slims books as a teenagers. During that time those type of literature was forbidden for teenagers to read. Since I wasn't a reader of the right literature I chose to read his books. I was able to read and comprehended this author plot about what life would hold if you turn the wrong corner of life. I learned from his books what not to do, what to look out for and yes, It was introduction to the life outside of my door. As I became a young woman I began to see life in a different life. I met people that walked Iceberg Slims books, I met people that were very religious, and I met people that were in some sort of gangster world. If it wasn't for me reading his books at a young age I might had been caught up in that life ,that Iceberg Slim wrote about, I would had been caught up in it being blind to what is wrong about it and . That world does exist and in today's life of hip hop and gangster play, and young minds not ready for what they chose to be apart of have gotten caught up into it and has no idea how to escape it or want to escape it These youths think that this is life of fun and parties and glamour. They just do not know that they are playing in the Lion Den and shortening their life. I think that with the young writers of today and the young readers of today should read Iceberg Slims books maybe just maybe they would see the road they are traveling or the path to no end.

On reading the entry I notice terrible gaffes. Slim had three children, not four. Slim wrote eight books, not seven. Slim spent 24 years living the life, not 25. Trick Baby was NOT made into a film. The Double Con was a mixture of Trick Baby and Long White Con AND Slim wanted nothing to do with the pathetic production put out by Universal Studios. How can an article be so bad that is so short?
