Book Overview
"Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest, capitalist concepts I've ever heard in my life." --Dave Chappelle, from his Netflix special The Bird Revelation In this collection of six gritty tales from the underground, Iceberg Slim creates a tribute to the streets and those forced to try to survive them. Iceberg Slim's story is now depicted in a major motion picture distributed worldwide. From slick con men, classic tales of revenge, to a heist gone awry, Robert Beck, the man many know as Iceberg Slim, brings us on a ride through the terrifying urban streets. With the same unforgettable and distinctive prose, Airtight Willie & Me is further evidence that Iceberg Slim is the only author capable of capturing the language of the streets. Compelling always, funny sometimes, and typically bleak at their ends, Slim gives us six slices of city life that will leave you thirsting for more.

Not Exactly What I was expecting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The book starts out with lots of outdated slang which makes alot of it unreadable and strained. The rest of the book deals with Slim telling bizarre stories about people he must have knew. This book is not like the PIMP book, it seems to be stories that Slim is telling the reader of things he heard. Anyways, it is well worth the read as all of his books are.
I couldn't put it down

Yo, the first thing you have to do when u get this book, is check out the slang. The slang is captivating, the metaphors make u visualize the anecdote. Iceberg Slim drop jewels and give u a more clear perspective on life. Plus the slick talk is charismatic....
