The provocative title is obviously designed to maximize exposure. The first question that comes to mind, is what does Black privilege look like? The subtitle, Opportunity Comes To Those Who Create It, is really the foundation of the book. Charlamagne has become a popular radio host through his syndicated The Breakfast Club. His niche has been challenging those in hip-hop, asking the questions that others shy away from.

The first question that comes to mind, is what does Black privilege look like? The subtitle, Opportunity Comes To Those Who Create It, is really the foundation of the book. Charlamagne has become a popular radio host through his syndicated The Breakfast Club. His niche has been challenging those in hip-hop, asking the questions that others shy away from. So his book traces his rise from a small town in South Carolina to his current place in media. The book is part memoir, part self help, and part inspiration. The book is divided not by chapters, but by eight principles.Jul 18, 2017
To say Black Privilege:Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It wasn't compulsively readable, I'd be making the understatement of the century and I'll gladly expound on that matter in this review.Jun 30, 2017
Part autobiography, part lots of life advice, very American as you may expect from the title and the cover and basically everythingJan 06, 2018
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Charlamagne Tha God’s book, Black Privilege.May 9, 2017
I read the foreword, the acknowledgements and all! I can't say I've ever done that to any one book. Seeing the life of a black person putting it so literally and real without sugarcoating his world deepened my awakening of the passion I have for music! It also showed me where I could've done some things differently with opportunities and how to approach life from now on as a woman! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your world Charlamagne!!! One Love!May 16, 2017
I needed to read this. I enjoyed this book tremendously. I think it's fairly safe to say, that this book is an instant classic...To read the rest of this review and to see Crissle West interview Charlamagne click here.Apr 26, 2018
Never expected to give this character (didn't like this dude too much, to be honest -- Thanks for letting that be okay, Charlamagne) or his book a 5 star rating, but after reading Black Privilege, being forced to reflect on my own existence, and learning the details of his story, I had little choice! Would have given a '6' if it were possible. Seriously, an impressive read. Kept me engaged even through the acknowledgements!June 24, 2017

Best memoir I've read hands down. I love the bluntness and brutal honesty he gives. I like that he writes the way he speaks...curse words and all. Although I don't agree with everything he says or what he believes politically, I can really appreciate who he is.Jul 09, 2017
I could NOT put this book done to the point where I literally read close to 200 pages just to finish it because I was teasing myself. CThaGod really hit him with this book. I loved how he never gave up and his story can help anyone. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE to read this book. I'm more of a fan of his because of this book.Jun 12, 2017
Ultimately, I did enjoy the book. As a fan of Charlamagne, I did enjoy his comedic style and reading about how so many people have approached him about his opinion about them, it was funny. With that being said, I'm not a huge fan of how vulgar he was at certain parts of the book. Some of the things he said did make me roll my eyes. Did I LOVE the book? No. Did I like the book? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Maybe one or two who I feel share the same point of view that he does, but Ultimately, I did enjoy the book.

Charlamagne is known to be outspoken and very opinionated. He is a "no holds barred" type of person so I didn't know what I was getting into when I started the book. I didn't know if it would be a bunch of celebrity gossip and behind the scenes dishing or if it would primarily be his story. I was quite impressed that it seemed to be an unfiltered account of his life. It was a little slow (meaning some of the stories could have been shortened) in parts, but overall I was thoroughly impressed with Charlamagne is known to be outspoken and very opinionated.

Entertaining, insightful, dropped a lot of jewels. Most important is believing in yourself and the power of thought.

Okay, so I'm not a big reader when it comes to non fiction book unless I have to read one for a class or I'm writing some sort of research paper. That being said I must say the Black Privilege was a damn good read. Mind you the author of this book is a Rap/Hip-Hop DJ on one of the popular radio stations that is aired across the country. So he's not just a nobody with opinion trying to get his POV across to a particular demographic. No, I would say rather you were White, Black, Asian, Latino, Okay, so I'm not a big reader when it comes to non fiction book unless I have to read one for a class or I'm writing some sort of research paper.

No, I would say rather you were White, Black, Asian, Latino, young or old, gay or straight, religious or not you would find this book very insightful, fun,crass, crude but 100% real, straight forward without any bull shit!Feb 28, 2018
In-your-face, opinionated, inspiring and laughable are just some of the words that best describes Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It by Charlamagne Tha God.Nov 24, 2017
I knew I wanted to read this book from the day I found out Charlamagne was publishing one. I am the first to admit I am not always a fan of biographies of any kind, I love what Charlamagne has to say on the radio so I knew I would love his book. This book was both insightful and entertaining. Although some of his motivational quotes were cliche and overused, they were great anchors for his stories and still served the purpose intended.Jun 27, 2017
I liked this book enough that I would have read it a few more times if I hadn't had to return it to the library. Charlamagne has a lot of good insights and advice and no nonsense straight talk. I want some people I know to read this.May 31, 2019
Funny and refreshingly honest. I don't agree with a lot of what Charlamagne wrote but I still think it's a damn good book.Jun 29, 2018
This read is cool. It’s better than I expected I will say that.Mar 27, 2018
This was awesome. Funny, profound, and deeply encouraging. Some of his revelations were wild and baffling, but nothing was unnecessary. Even the most gruesome details portrayed the fullness of the man we all have interesting feelings about.May 25, 2017
A basic overview of Charlamagne's career, interspersed with tips on how you too can become the co-host of a morning drive-time urban radio show, as if you needed such advice, Black Privilege is about as candid and irreverent as it could possibly be in 2017 without engendering calls for Charlamagne's job (if not his head, nullus), which I really do appreciate. It's likely that at least a few people, including Funkmaster Flex and Wendy Williams' husband, will be upset by this book.

The story of Charlamagne's career isn't particularly interesting, but I found it occasionally amusing in the telling. The self-help aspect of the book was useless to me personally, both because I have no interest in self-help (though I do need help) and because I don't know that Charlamagne is qualified to give such advice, his successful career making fun of Lil Mama and Ray J notwithstanding. ...moreNov 03, 2017
I saw Charlamagne on an episode of Ridiculousness and was surprised by his candor. So I figured I'd read his book. It was a letdown. He finally got to the "privilege" part at the very end of the book, which is how the book should have opened. The message is on target - no matter what color you are, no matter what you were born into, you can make a good life for yourself. But the layout is all wrong and I suspect no publishing company wanted a complete book on this subject (lest we acknowledge I saw Charlamagne on an episode of Ridiculousness and was surprised by his candor.

Real and raw as only Charlamagne can be. I'm glad he narrated his own story. It was very interesting to hear of his childhood and leading into how he got his start and of course where he is today. He is crass and blunt but seems pretty well rounded and obviously well spoken. I enjoyed listening to him tell about his life as well as drop life jewels.July 13, 2017
Entertaining, insightful, dropped a lot of jewels. Most important is believing in yourself and the power of thought. He brings a lot the teachings of greats like James Allen, Napoleon Hill, Joseph Murphy, Claude Bristol, Charles Haanel, etc. to the people in a relatable manner. Some of those books are a little to new-age for people to accept, but he breaks it down in a way that everyone can incorporate into their lives.Dec 16, 2018
I wasn't expecting much from this book. It's not written for me, I don't enjoy rap (or hip-hop I'm not sure about the difference), I hate radio, I'm not black. I've decided to give it a shot just to say "yeah exactly what I was thinking, another garbage book".Take your time and choose the perfect book.
