Re: The "Hip-Hop Helen of Troy"

Dear Carmen Bryan,

I wanted to write about this when I first saw it on Nah Right, but I was busy doing other business.

You claim on the cover of your latest book that you're a "Hip-Hop Helen of Troy."


Really?

You're claiming that you were kidnapped by some rapper (I assume Jay-Z) because Aphrodite said that you were the most beautiful woman in the world, and because of this kidnapping, rappers, choosing between Nas' side and Jay-Z's side, fought over you for 10 years until Nas made a Trojan horse and slaughtered all of Jay-Z's followers? That's what I assume with your "Hip-Hop Helen of Troy" misnomer.

According to this synopsis of the book at Amazon.com...
From a clandestine relationship with Nas's biggest rival, Jay-Z, that stirred up the biggest feud in hip-hop history, to seeing her reputation in tatters and a once loving relationship with Nas fall apart...
I think you should retitle your book to accurately reflect the content found it. How about It's No Secret I'm a Whore: A Woman that Slept with Nas and Jay-Z Who Thought She Sparked Their Feud Tells All? It's a much better title than the original book, and you wouldn't be confusing people who may want to actually purchase this book to have something to start a campfire with.
