Negro Issues!!!!

As you may or MAY NOT know - I have been blessed with a book deal working with the lovely Diane of Firefly Publishing & Entertainement.

I am a real stickler when it comes to buiness and i have a real low threashold for unprofessional, late, last minute, poorly communicated negro buisness...

Like Chris Rock Said everythig whites hate about niggas - blacks hate about niggas too.........

Now I have a so called creative team!!!! (please note this team has no relationship or buisness dealing with Ms. Diane)


I threw my RFP out there for them to bring me back a tight cover for the book. I gave them clear guidleines about what I wanted for example:

Abstract:
Pretty Monster is the turbulent story of Tangy Raye Waters a resilience young girl who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and her struggle to be at peace despite the trouble of family woes and her monstrous ego. Many life lessons learned from her grandparents and time led to her faith in God and the music never stopped.

Now with that said - not trying to give the entire package up just yet -

this is what he sent me!





Is this an Emu?






















Is this a vampire?















I am offended, that he would suggest something so tacky and unclassy for the cover of my book!
I told him he has today and today only to impress me - or i'll have my 9 years do it and i am sure it will be fabulous!!!!!

I have know dude since 94 and i think the real issue is not being heard!!!! I started this project in 2006 and if you don't know what its about now - you shouldn't be on the team.

he was all affected inthe begining when I told him I would not do work with him without a contract - now this is WHY!!!!!
Negros!!!!!!!!!!

When my publisher gives the green light i will share some excerts of pretty monster...
