CARMEN BRYAN, ex-girlfriend of Nas, released her memoir - It's No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, from Seduction to Scandal - a Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All by Carmen Bryan - today and already the net is abuzz with searches for Carmen Bryan.

In fact, Carmen Bryan appeared in Technorati's top ten most popular search terms since her memoir dishing about Nas and Jay-Z and Allen Iverson hit the market today. No doubt "Carmen Bryan book excerpts" and "It's No Secret book excerpts" can't be far behind from making Yahoo's buzz list.

And with Carmen's seeming forthrightness in the small snippets I've found, the comparison to Karrine Steffans' Confessions of a Video Vixen is inevitable. I had to wait forever in the system of my local library to read Steffans' book. I just checked my local library's network for Carmen Bryan's book and of course they don't have it. The Cleveland, Ohio, library has a couple but they're on order. Oh well, maybe I'll actually break down and buy It's No Secret...for journalistic purposes, of course...

I bought your book this past Monday & finished it last night [Thursday]. I loved the book simply because I could relate in so many ways. From the baby daddy drama & still dealing with him on "occasions", having multiple partners & learning from that experience to dealing with trying to create something out of my life while also balancing single mother hood. As I was jumping from chapter to chapter it was an exhausting emotional roller coaster as I recalled so many events in my past that made me realize how strong & resilient I really am. Most importantly I learned so many of life's lessons and am still learning. + I briefly grew up in St. Albans too & attended Andrew Jackson H.S.

We all make mistakes. Why are we so quick to judge. Nobody wants to do bad for them selves or the ones they love. Telling something that is heavy on your heart can be therepeutic. Especially after having your business thrown to the world. It's terrible that no one wants to hear what a women has to say in this day and age. Woman are still considered sluts and hos so often it's sickening. What about the wrong the men in the book commit. What about the roles they play in the story. They were wrong too, so why are they not hos and sluts. What difference does it make why the book was written or who wrote it for that matter if you have nothing positive or uplifting to say. You contribute to making matters worst . Point is we all make mistakes, she just had enough courage to face up to hers and speak up about it.

It's you're a female who consider Carmen Bryan as your role model, that proves either you're a confused or lost person.

I feel like this if you're a dependent female, then you don't does to be respected. It's obvious that you don't have the man best interest at heart if you're using him to benefit your finances. Why should he respect you as a lady. Please!

Carmen, I support you 100% and will be buying the book at a black bookstore next week. As for Nas, all the people calling you a whore should remember that Nas must love whores since he married one. Keep your head up.

Carmen I just purchased your book on Sun. 9/16/07 and finish reading the book in 2 days flat(would have been 1 day, but I had to work). It was a excellent book, well written and it amazed me of how people are in front of the media but behind close doors it is another subject. I hope God bless you and your daughter with well deserved blessings.

This was a good book. Like some people say this is a lesson learned and no i don't see her as a slut. I see her as a real fucking woman. People who say that are small minded and never look what's inside. Shit they probably never read the book. It's YOUR story and you should tell it. Do you mama!!!!! Fuck these hatin ass people.
