I am a grad student at Webster University. I was glad to watch Karrine Steffans speak about herself and her life. Thanks for loading this it was what I needed.

@ Socialscience101.. So Very TRUE.. CSUN got pimped! LOL!

What kind of school is this? do the students lack common sense? ?They don't know a hustler when they see one.Karrine is after money and fame and will hustle her way to the top.They think she's writing books to enlighten young girls? ? ? Her hustle game is tight. Karrine is strictly a paper chaser. If this school payed her for some common sense talk with a snotty delivery - they just got hustled.

I enjoyed the presentation online and at the event except for some reason the same dumb muthafuckas who cant make it to class or buy a book showed up like this shit was Barnaby coast on dollar lap dance night. Fuck other black ppl, are far as im concerned if your too dumb to read a book before arguing and cannot show intelligence go eat your nasty ass roscoe's, watch some BET and vote for Obama. Dumb muthafuckas

I wish you people who are so insistent on talking smack would learn how to spell. it would help if we could read your nonsense. Beautiful black people let's try not to be ignorant. Let's put together literate and well-thought through answers, especially those of us who managed to make it to college. Please. Please. Please. Let's not forget the importance of a subject and verb, conjunctions and punctuation. Dictionaries are amazing inventions as well as thesauri. If you don't have one you should!

Quran. . . FYI This book is very relevant. It is required reading for the Politics of Hip Hop Class. It is very necessary in analyzing womens positions within the Hip Hop community and constructing frameworks in which to discuss these same women. It is also important in asking ourselves why the black community and hip hop generation is willing to forgive and excuse a man like R Kelly who rapes young girls but we're not forgiving of a young woman who was raped and never guided to the right path in life. Hip Hop is willing to give a pass to artist who make millions off records exploiting women and putting their business out in the streets but a woman who decides to make money in a very similar way is ignored. Think about it. When is the last time you or anyone you know called Jay Z or Lil Wayne a hoe? When is the last time we criticized Wayne for being a drug-head or Rick Ross for glorifying drug dealing? If we must be critical lets be critical of all our hip hop personnel.

Why would a College University give Karrine Stephans a forum? Her book doesn't touch on any relevant issues within the black community as far as correcting the social ills within it, in fact she glamorizes it. Also, what class is her book required reading?? Just wanted to know out of curiosity.

~Peace~

Thanks for posting that!
I would love to know your thoughts about Karrine. If it's possible could you give me your thoughts about her? I guess since you were there.

good job
