Summary

 Charlamagne Tha God—the self-proclaimed “Prince of Pissing People Off,” cohost of Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, and “media god” (Forbes)—shares his eight principles for unlocking your God-given privilege in this New York Times bestseller.

In Black Privilege, Charlamagne presents his often controversial and always brutally honest insights on how living an authentic life is the quickest path to success. This journey to truth begins in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and leads to New York and headline-grabbing interviews and insights from celebrities like Kanye West, Kevin Hart, Malcolm Gladwell, Lena Dunham, Jay Z, and Hillary Clinton.

Black Privilege lays out all the great wisdom Charlamagne’s been given from many mentors, and tells the uncensored story of how he turned around his troubled early life by owning his (many) mistakes and refusing to give up on his dreams, even after his controversial opinions got him fired from several on-air jobs. These life-learned principles include:

-There are no losses in life, only lessons.
-Give people the credit they deserve for being stupid—starting with yourself.
-It’s not the size of the pond but the hustle in the fish.
-When you live your truth, no one can use it against you.
-We all have privilege, we just need to access it.

By combining his own story with bold advice and his signature commitment to honesty no matter the cost, Charlamagne hopes Black Privilege will empower you to live your own truth.

I laughed and cried during this book. there were questionable moments but it remained a good read in the end and I would highly recommend it. I could easily see this book being much better in the audio format. Charlamagne bring an energy to this story that truly make you immersed in it. The book is witty and humorous but still keeps a positive message around discipline, ethics and values. I truly enjoyed this one. Thankyou

He wanted to be a rapper but became a hardcore critic instead and paid the price to be known as the biggest critic in rap. Entertaining like a rap come up story, selling crack and fist fights included. He has some good industry wisdom for any creative trying to navigate their way through the system

Reads like a rap bio

I had no real expectations since hes always saying that he doesn't know how to write. I wish there was more about the positive situations that got him to where he is now, instead of mostly referencing the negatives.

Good read overall
