Salacious for salacious sake
Say that five times fast. But I digress.
Today some whippersnapper commented on my TikTok video
for The Matchmaker saying “This is like those Quan Millz books”. So having
never heard of Quan Millz (late to another party) I had to look them up and… Wow,
I don’t know whether to be insulted or flattered. Flattered because their books
are so popular, but my books are in no
way similar. I don’t have anything against urban or street lit; I’ve read
and enjoyed numerous urban or street lit titles and series (My favorite will
probably always be The Coldest Winter
Ever). Quan Millz’s stuff, however, is extra enough to give Maury Povich in
his heyday pause—extra provocative, extra street, extra controversial for the
sake of being controversial. I’ve got nothing against any of this. Do you
homeboy. I should be so successful.
For the most part, Millz’s stuff seems to have been
written in a humorous vein and is satirical (i.e, This H*e Got Roaches in her Crib) and I applaud the brother for
finding a niche and milking it.
Anyway, interesting and enlightening article on Mr.
Millz here:

So how do you like your urban or street lit? With just a little salacious on the side or squirted all over like a little kid putting ketchup on fries?
