Street Legends 1
Vol 1 Ferranti's style is raw and edgy, full of street slang and prison jargon. Ferranti implies that only totally immoral individuals operate on a pseudo-moral system founded on omerta or silence. Only corrupt people worry about someone snitching on them. And anyone who knows enough to snitch about such people has, at the very least, been dabbling in corruption. At the same time, Ferranti does not pretend that the agents of justice the authorities are impeccable angelic beings, who always play by the rules. In Street Legends, carrying a badge does not guarantee a squeaky-clean character. Ferranti points out that the authorities sometimes stack the deck when it serves their purposes. In other words, this is not a story about good guys and bad guys. It’s a story about waste. The moral of the story is that living the life, if that life is based on drugs and murder, is nothing more than a fleeting mirage. When the mirage disappears, all that's left is a sign that reads Welcome to Hell.by Seth Ferranti
Vol 1 In Street Legends Vol. 1, Seth brings forth powerful biographies of six of the most notorious gangster of the crack era who influenced hip-hop and street culture. This book profiles six of the biggest street legends from the crack era- Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, Wayne Perry, Anthony Jones, Aaron Jones, Peter “Pistol Pete” Rollack and George “Boy George” Rivera. Kilo’s of cocaine and heroin, millions of dollars of drug money, luxury customized cars, dime pieces galore, bling-bling to shine, multitudes of violence and vicious murder- these dudes were street stars and their lifestyles are what gangsta rap represents. Read their stories and ride shotgun with a hood legend. As each man's life spirals into a black hole from which there is no return, Ferranti shows each man for the fraud and charlatan he was. Oh, Ferranti respects their code of omerta (silence), and the fact that they were willing to go to prison for it.
Street Legends is the story of the cry of utter desolation coming from those now residing in that hell.”
