The Nipsey Hussle Effect

gonna tell you why. It's my birthday week. When I when I hit my birthday March four, it's the whole week. I'm celebrating the whole week. So this episode comes out during my birthday week. So I'm excited to bring this episode for it. And it's a little different this week because my whole episode is wrapped up in inspiration, book, we view, community, and culture. It's just wrapped up into all of the elements that I typically have on my podcast.

The title of this episode is the Nipcy Hustle Effect, and so during this episode, I'm gonna be talking about different books that were on the Nipsey Hustle reading list. The five books that I'm going to highlight emphasize is The Out of War by son Zoo, Think and Grow Rich by Dennis Kimball, The forty eight Laws of Power by Robert green Powered Nomics by Dr Claul Anderson, and The Spook Who Set By the Door by Rob mcgreenland.

So I'm gonna highlight those five books. And as a result of me talking about those books, I'm really doing book we views. So I'm gonna bring forth all of the inspiration, the community, culture, and the book review all wrapped up as I talked about the Nipsey Hustle Transferformation Table at Malik Books and all the books, not all, but some of the books that are on the list.

Because this list has inspired so many generation generation asked my generation and the millennials have been inspired by the books that Nipsey Hustle read, and so I thought that this episode for this week should I should talk about Nipsey Hustle and the effect that he had on our lives and in the community. So stay tuned for the Nipsey Hustle Effect. I want to talk about somebody that's near and dear to me personally and to the community.

That Malik Books exists. He recommended books because he read books, and he used books because he wanted to uplift his community and the people around him, and his recommended reading lists. It's one of the hottest and most celebrated reading lists I have at Malik Books and around this country. Now, this person also created businesses and he wanted to uplift the community. And even though he made millions of dollars,

he didn't leave the community. He still wanted to use his knowledge, his wisdom, and his understanding to make a difference. So he was not only an artist, a ropper, a businessman, but he was an activist. I'm talking about Nipsey Hustle and the Nipsey Hustle reading List is available at Malik Books because his books are powerful, empowering and uplifting. I've personally read a lot of these books on the list

years ago. But the Nipsey Hustle Ready List transformed nis Hustle's life and will separated Nipsey Hustle from other artists is the fact that he shared his recommended reading list to his fans, to his friends and to the community. And we have that recommended reading list right here at Malik Books. So I thought I should talk about the Transformation table at Malik Books. The Nipsey Hustle reading lists.

Now some of those books powerful. We have a book called The Out of Ward that's on that list, The Art of War. This book was written thousands of thousands of years ago, but it offers military strategies, strategies that you can use in your life right now, how to overcome the issues that you're dealing with. But whether in your relationship, the community, or on your job. That's an excellent book by Sun Zoo, The Art of War. If you haven't read the Art of War, they recommend this

in militaries and business. A lot of CEOs have ready listen, this world. You gotta not to know how to navigate in and out of this world. You gotta know how to overcome obstacle. There is no situation, environment or um industry where you don't have to overcome obstacles. That's just a reality. And every flower has insects, right, no matter how beautiful the flower is, it still has insects around it.

What as a force against the beauty. So all I'm saying, look, and you flowers out the deal will wind storms, but they still bloom and they're still become beautiful. And that's just how life is. No matter what obstacles did you have to deal with, you gotta learn how to overcome in their books to give you strategy, such as so Who's the art of War? Now? Another book on that list is called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Excellent book. Excellent book. I personally like Thinking, Grow Rich a Black Choice by Dennis Kimble, because that book, you know, is interpreted and written in a way where you can relate if you're a black person. So that's why I like that book, because, like you know, in each community, we have our own language, and we have our own you know. Um just basically we have our own way

of looking at things and seeing things. Because you know, like two people can see the same thing, and they can they just see it different because of their lifestyle and how they was raised. And so it's impossible for everybody to see things the same way. You know, So if two people see the same thing, they're gonna have two different versions. Why because the way he was raised, the way you see the world, the way you see yourself, all of that is gonna factory and it's just the

way it is. And so that's why I just like to think of grow with your black Choice because Dennis Kimbo wasn't you know, he's the CEO executive. He was a writer for Black Enterprise magazine and he's done so many other things, but his background is just business. And that book he took the pioneering Napoleon Hill Can Grow Rich and he just you know, put a twist on it called The Black Choice. Anyway, moving on now the forty eight Laws of Power by Robert Green, that's part

of the Nipsey Hustle reading list. That's a powerful book. Now Robert Green goes all over the country, all over the world. He talks about strategies to did you have to deal with to overcome whatever? You know you have to deal with in business? You know, a lot of these jobs to the high powered. Hey man, it's a lot of pressure. You're dealing with a lot of people and a lot of pressure, and you gotta know how to manage that and how to deal with that. I

ran before they a loss of power. Guess what he said he said to take away from that book was never act like you're smarter than your boss. Never act like you're smarter than your boss. So the forty eight Lives of Power, you know, that's one of our hottest selling books at Malik Books. We always are reordering for

the Loss of Power by Robert Green. Now he wrote a lot of other books, you know, because so you can also check out those, But the forty eight Laws of Powered by Robert Green that's on the Nipsey has read Listen now one of the books is nearrative to me that I always promo. You know, people ask me all the time, what's the one of your most favorite books or the favorite books you know you're gonna have many? No one really can narrow down to one book. We

learned from many other books. Whatever it is that you're striving for, like what they are different books that you have to read in order to achieve. So, but the one book that I know that I think this empowering, inspiring, motivating, uplifting is Powernomics by Dr Claude Anderson. I'm not sure he's a doctor, but I know he's an educator. But Claude Anderson who wrote Power Nomics, the National Plan to Empower Black America and why listen, I'm a black man

in America. Yeah, and at one time and it might be still today, the black man is the most endangerous species in America. So this is why I got the emphasize who and what I am because we're stigmatized here in America. Yes, we have have come, we've made achievements, we have excelled. It don't change the fight. That black men are incarcerated at the most highest rate in America and that the black man isn't a dangerous species in America.

So I can't shy away from that reality. I've had my experiences pledging in college, being poured over, calling the in word for no reason. So the Power Nomics the National Plan to empower Black America. It's important because money runs the world, and we need to learn how to pour money together to solve some of these problems that we don't have to back the government or no one else. If we just pull as black people money together to fund our projects and our dreams and our goals and

build a generation of change. And that can be done without the hand the hand being held out because we have one point five trillion dollars already, So let's pull that together, find a way to unite and pull the money together so that we can do for itself instead of the hand being held out. If things we can do without always acting government and other people. But there's

things that we need to do. We see people come rich every day on the Powerball just paying two dollars because there's so many people, someone wins a billion dollars. At what point in time are we gonna learn that All we need to do is trust each other and pull our money, resources, intellect and build a reality right here in America. And we can do that. And that's what this book, Powering Nomics is all about, is what we can do right now the National Plan to empower

Black America, and we can do that right now. We must do that right now. We have to do this right now, and we need to stop playing and do for us right now. It's a saying that I came across. What it says, uh do for yourself. I'm trying to remember why I'm talking on this podcast. I'm trying to remember. I got so many thoughts that's flowing in my head. Because you can't ask others to do for you what you could do for yourself. That's what I wanted to say.

You're asking people to do for you what you already can do for yourself. Were lacking money one point five three and dollars come through the black man and woman's hands in America. That's not crumbs, but it's not The money is what you do with the money. And until you pull this money together and use it as a tool to elevate and enhance your community and your people,

that it's all gonna be self centered. You're just gonna go out and buy the fancy cars, and you can do that, but you also can use some of that money. Because I in forty million black people gave twenty dollars a month and a Black Fund and put about twelve proven black people over the board. Of that money, Guess what every month you could raise eight hundred million dollars. I think that's around twelve billion dollars a year. How much good in the hood and twelve million dollars do

for you? We could build schools, factories, We could do so much with twelve billion dollars every year on our own. With money we already have, can buy land right here in America, build schools right here in America, build factories, jobs, a community right here in America. We can do that because we already have the money, but we have to unite the money. Nipsey Hustle didn't graduate from high school, he didn't graduate from college, but he was educated, know how,

self educated. So even if you was dealt with a hand that you didn't like, and even if you was dealt with conditions you didn't like, like violence and games that you're growing up around, don't mean you can't change your reality. Don't mean you can't change your condition. Is it hard, yeah, is it difficult, Yeah, But that's just the hand you deal with. Nipsey Hustle hand was he was build to hand, and he changed it and believed and use what he learned to try to help other people.

We feel like that's what we do here at Malague Books. We book octivis. We use books to help our community. We use books that help change people lives. We use books to make a difference. We book activis. I've been serving this community since books. I love it now. We got the bookmobile out and hitting schools, hitting community organizations, festivals, churches. We're on the road. We're taking the show to them. But Nipsey Hustle h had a love for books, had

a love for reading. He changed his life by reading books. He changed his life by reading books. He read books on the Black Panthers. He read books about the black man in America. He wanted to use books to unite our people. He wanted to use what he learned in books to unite our people, not run from my people. He wanted to transform the community. Bye by the block was one of his slogans. Bye by the block. Don't have to buy everything, just buy the block at a time.

You know, you know the old saying, you takes a village to raise the child. Everyone bring a brick. Hey, we take one brick, build a house. Pass it on. Everybody bring another brick, build a house, pass it on. So we got books. Um you on, Youie Newton, sold on ice, you know, solid dad, brothers. Um the story of Youie Newton. Um. The Spook who Sat by the

Door by Sam Greenley. All right, now let me tell you about that book Spook who sat the door, because what I heard in the streets, what I heard, Oh before I get to the spook who sat beside the door, you know, if you had had some spirituality, he even you know, talked about the book Enoch that he read. He talked about the book Reached Dad, Poor Dad, you know, Seize the Time by Uie Newton Guerrilla Market because he wanted the brand his business and take marathon continues to

another level. How are you gonna do that? If you don't got the knowledge, better read it or talk to somebody. So he understood the technology, it's the future, so he opened up you know, a workspace technology and so forth. But get him back to The Spook Who Sat Beside the Door by Sam Greenley. Well, I heard in the streets was that book was supposed to be the next um album that he was gonna come out with. That it was gonna be that time, or that's what I

heard in the streets. Now, Um, I don't know if it's accurate, but I do no nipsey as are recommended. The Spook who Sat Beside the Door in that book by Sam Greenland, it's an old book. It was written a while ago. But it's the main factor of that book is the fact that the guy, the character was trained by the CIA and the Intelligence Agency of America and the knowledge that he learned he wanted he brought back to his community to use it in order to

empower his community. And that's to me what it's the meeting potatoes of the spookl set beside the door. That the information that you learned, and some of us clandestine, but you we work in every major industry in America and we those are resources, the knowledge that you learned. So why not use that too enhanced the community to

uplift the community, to embellish and elevate the community. And we need more people to do things like that that have that intelligence, that has that knowledge that works in them hype profile positions in America. Why not bring that information to your hood, to your community, to your neighborhood and elevate, don't run from it. That's what the book the spook who said beside the Door, The main takeaway and plot of that book is we work in every

major corporation and industry in America. We need to use that as a as a as a toold to elevate our people. That's what we need to do. We have a duty. We have a duty to do that. You have a duty, whether you agree with it or not. Things are not gonna get no better until we take control over our destiny and our reality. And it takes people who are highly intelligent to step up and help the people that we complain about all day and all

night nothing gonna change. And just talking about what's going on in the hood, in the in the black on black crime and all the lack of jobs in the community, and the teenage obesity and pregnancy in the community, and

all the poor health that goes on the community. Ain't nothing that gonna change if the people who got the degrees from Harvard, Yale and all the other major colleges universities are not gonna use that knowledge that they have in their positions to bring back that and build for self, to build the community up. We here, We are here, and we're part of this nation, and therefore we all have a duty to do something to make our communities and neighborhoods better, not run from it. If she hustle

didn't run from it. So the book the Spook who set by the Door, what's kind of like our Nipsy was making his moves simply because he was finding knowledge and bringing it back. He was filing ideas he wants, elevating his hood, elevating his community, elevating the people around him to make moves in order to bring about a better reality in our community.
