Never Die Alone by Donald Goines is one of my favorite books. Goines is a master of the visual, gritty drug infested street life. A world that I have more than a passing knowledge of. And with Goines it is always based on a true story.
Keep in mind, Donald Goines wrote 16 novels in 5 years. Goines himself kept it moving in this world of the urban street as he was a hustler, Pimp and heroin addict. A perspective that gives him uncanny authority and authenticity to write about it.
Never Die Alone’s “hero” is King David, the coldest cat in all of literature. And when I say “coldest cat” I mean cold, like dry ice on the South Pole. Close to pure Evil.
King David, sharp dressed and Caddy driving, is also one of the original East Coast-West Coast G’s. Villainous. And Poisonous.
A must read for all up and coming G’s. They should also make this a must read for schools to keep kids out of the Drug Game.
Always start with high quality product. So go down to your local butcher shop that you have on lock and get your steak. Don’t forget to Grease your butcher. It is the holiday season after all.
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Heat your pan on stove top on high.
3. Put salt, pepper and Grapeseed oil on steak. You must use Grapeseed oil because it doesn’t burn at higher temps like olive oil.
4. Wait
5. Make sure Pan is like 7 layers of Hell Hot. Then let it get hotter. Wait till you think that maybe you shouldn’t be heating the pan so hot, then heat it more. Then take a smoke break and let it heat more. If you are with a fly girl, swoop her and let the pan heat some more. Then spark up one more smoke as you let it get as hot as a topless French girl on the beach in Anglet in July. This will sear the fuck out of the steak and “lock in” the juices.
6. Put a little Grapeseed oil in pan.
7. Drop in steak. Enjoy the sizzle. 2 min each side.
8. Grab pan and put in oven with butter on top of steak.
9. 4 min each side.
10. Feast with a glass of Red and plan your next Heist.
Try it and let me know what you think.

I was a little slow on this one. I have been spending time going to charity events, donating toys for kids, and seeing nightclubs with no one stepping to Bottle Service. And swooping a fly Chilanga Mexican girl. All of which makes me happy.
Anyway, here it is:
“I still can’t quite get my head around the enormity of the numbers in the Madoff case. For one thing,
Madoff’s investment advisory business served between 11 and 25 clients and had a total of about $17.1 billion in assets under management.
Now that’s what I call high net worth individuals! And then you read the indictment, and you think you know what to expect, until:
On Dec. 10, 2008, Madoff informed the Senior Employees, in substance, that his investment advisory business was a fraud. Madoff stated that he was “finished,” that he had “absolutely nothing,” that “it’s all just one big lie,” and that it was “basically, a giant Ponzi scheme. Madoff stated that the business was insolvent, and that it had been for years. Madoff also stated that he estimated the losses from this fraud to be at least approximately $50 billion.
Yep, $50 billion. In other words, that $17.1 billion is only the beginning: presumably Madoff’s clients had invested much more than that, and Madoff was sending statements to them, on the one hand, while reporting different numbers to the SEC, on the other — none of which were true.
If the total losses are really $50 billion, that means that the average loss to Madoff’s clients is a minimum of $2 billion, and perhaps as much as $4.5 billion. After all, in a Ponzi scheme, everybody comes out fine, except the last people out: the 11 to 25 clients still with Madoff to this day.
The one thing this does do is get me a little bit more comfortable with Jeffrey Epstein’s business plan of managing billionaires’ money. Clearly there are actually quite a lot of people with a few billion dollars to invest and who feel perfectly comfortable entrusting it to individuals like Madoff and Epstein. Who knew?
Right now, there are a handful people whose world has suddenly been turned upside-down: who have, overnight, suddenly lost billions of dollars of dynastic wealth to a Wall Street con man. I’m sure that their names will appear sooner or later. But there really is no precedent that I can think of: when has one man ever managed to steal $50 billion dollars? If the $100 million Harry Winston heist in Paris was the “steal of the century”, what’s this?”
I have said it before, that G’s and heistmen don’t make the long coin these days. It’s the “tech crims”. It’s the Bankers. It’s the Politicians. It’s the Lawyers. They are the real crooks.
Sometimes I feel like I am being hustled only knowing half the Game.
But my crew hanging with the Wu-Tang Clan, sitting ringside watching Manny Pacquiao destroy Oscar De La Hoya , and swooping the above mentioned Chilanga has softened the blow.
So to speak.
