Summary: 5 Stars
The promise of potential for a gangster's paradise. Maurice Sebastian was born in Bermuda, but raised via the way of the bricks also known as Newark, NJ. Maurice lost his father and his mother at a young age. After his parents' death, Maurice comes upon a new life in Newark. Maurice does not have the heart of the battle that they have in Newark, but he knows one thing and that is he wants to be a self made man, a man he knew his father would be proud of.
Bruiser is Maurice's cousin and their relationship will grow into a brotherhood that can't be broken, or can it? Mel Kwon is the hustler of the group. He was born into a family of hustlers . Keisha aka Queen Diva will eventually come face to face with Mr. Sebastian.
Maurice comes to grips that he wants to be the mayor of the bricks. He figures that running for mayor is no different from throwing a party. In the world of politics they have their parties too and they are called delegates, incumbents, etc. Maurice just wants to take over the streets of Newark as mayor. As far as Maurice is concerned, fear and respect will run the streets while his love ran the city. Maurice's goal is to revitalize a city that comes from a conservative policy. Newark is clamoring for change and Maurice wants to be the man that can bring it. Maurice isn't about war, he is about peace. In the end you will be asking yourself the following question, who really is more gangsta, the street nigguhs or the politicians? Is it all about the battle of exterior vs. interior?
The reality of the story is the following: we can no longer tell the difference from the police to the criminals. Maurice will create the game, determine the game, and end it when it's all said and done. Thug Politics written by Dutch was a great read. It had drama, comedy, and action. The setup for Thug Politics is different because he doesn't break the book up chapter by chapter. He walks you through every step of Maurice's life. He starts with the history where it all begins for Maurice and takes you on a journey in the book where the end justifies the means. Dutch will have you caught up in the street game of Thug Politics where nobody wins. On a rating from 1 to 5, I give Dutch a 5 because the book kept my attention. I learned last night after reading Thug Politics that Wu Tang said it best "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" even in the world of Thug Politics.
