A large part of Goines' 39 years of life was spent being a successful pimp, a heif, an operator of corn liquor houses, an armed robber, and a small-time dope dealer. He lived the life of the streets, and out of that experience he created Prince, the anti-hero of Black Gangster. It's the story of the shocking underworld of Black organized crime and the fledgling Black "godfather" who goes from teenager ganglord to powerful Detroit mobster. Like the gangsters of the 1920s, he begins with bootlegging and branches out into every known crime.

Every thing periodt was simultaneously stimulating my cognitive functioning. Where do I find the mental capacity to translate my thoughts into words that could describe the brilliant work of art and narration delivered in this soul stirring emotional gut wrenching book. All I can say is read this book then listen to this masterpiece.

Pure fire from start to finish

I’ve read all of Donald Goines’ books and they are gritty and REAL! This audiobook narration just adds to the thrill. The narrator did an excellent job adding depth and realism to the story. I recommend all of Donald Goines’ books to anyone that can handle the truth about racism, police brutality, corrupt systems of just US and poverty… To those who live in a bubble and are scared to death then I suggest you LEAVE IT ALONE!
