First get rich quick book for hip-hoppers is released

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

The first and only HOW TO GET RICH IN THE HOOD BOOK for urban communities is released and shipping.

Gerard Spinks, cousin of boxing champs Leon Spinks and Cory Spinks, is the author of "How To Be Rich, N*gga."

Gerard Spinks calls his book "How To Be Rich, N*gga" an urban version of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." It is written specifically for urban youth as well as young adults who need a book that speaks in their language. Spinks reportedly made millions of dollars as the owner of a technology consulting business based in Atlanta, Georgia.

The current version of "How To Be Rich..." contains explicit words. However, a cleaned up version titled "How To Be Rich - The Black Millionaires Guide" will be released in November 2004 and will be on bookshelves by Christmas 2004.

"How To Be Rich, N*gga" is ready for shipping now and is presently being shipped to bookstores across the United States including independent bookstores and record stores nationwide as well as historically black college campus bookstores.
