Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Champ and Panama Jackson of the VerySmartBrothas.com go all the way in for their first book, "Your Degrees Won't Keep You Warm A Night: The Very Smart Brothas Guide to Mating Dating and Fighting Crime." It's like getting advice from your older brother's ignorant best friend.
Champ and Jackson are wickedly brilliant, and they force women (and men) to take a look at the deranged things we do in the name of love, sex, and relationships. They are the Phonte Colemans of relationship blogging: they talk about relationships from a black male perspective in ways that aren't condescending (Steve Harvey) or panty-pandering (Hill Harper). They just keep it honest.
You could literally choose any page out of the book and fall into the funny. One of the best parts of the book are the footnotes, which are like little pieces of food that get stuck in your teeth that you find later in the day (and secretly satisfy your hunger for more). I feel like if I had footnotes like this:
"I've been trying to figure out the mixture of smells that contributes to the SCOO {Strip Club Odd Odor}, and I've come to realize that it's a combination of ass sweat, recycled bacon grease, Nair, MD 20/20, old pennies, Bath & Body Works' Cucumber Melon Fragrance Mist, more ass sweat, and struggle. -T.C. "
...I might have paid more attention in my college history classes.
My only complaint? My favorite post about the virtues of Erykah Badu's unexpected thickness aren't included, but I'm sure the Brothas had enough material for four books. Your degrees won't keep you warm at night, but if you follow the common sense in this book I'm sure you'll find someone who can.
