Thugs Cry 3: Respect My Gangsta

Rate this book
Money, power, respect and the battle for one woman’s love pitted two notorious drug dealers against each other in a bloody battle that left behind many casualties. Young NARD has finally brought down CJ, Newark, New Jersey’s most powerful and most dynamic crack King. But the baby-faced drug kingpin has made one monumental mistake—he left RAHEEM dying, but with an ounce of life still in him. If Rah survives, there’s going to be a war in the streets unlike anything the decrepit city has ever witnessed, as he seeks to avenge the death of a friend whom he loved like a brother. Both men are thinkers, and they both have murderous goons at their disposal. But only one side can be victorious. Which side will it be? Will Nard’s ego remain in check as his stature explodes to astronomical heights in the hood? If Raheem lives, will he prove that his gangsta is as cold as his mind is sharp? Nothing is for certain but death. But who’s death will it be? This time when THUGS CRY, they’ll cry more than tears—they’ll cry blood. Lots of it!

Thugs Cry 3

The passion that continue through out this series. Rah was determined to bring closer for his A1 since Day 1 CJ death. The loyal and disloyal was all coming apart Nard find out his own brother was over the war and willing to take down him to stop it. But snakes never live long. The hurt and life's taken on both side was wild. Eric coming for Nard to revenge his brothers death with Rah and the lost of his love ones. Cash the tips of my finger that swipes my iPad page had me over the edge. Snow white AkA Kenisha was so gone over Nard love. She did the unthinkable the sadness I still felt for the lost of CJ but I'm happy for Rah for finding love once again. I will not tell more of the story but it's a great series I would recommend you purchase it all three books. 💯💯

Real Thugs Do Cry!!!! Awesome Read! Ca$h is a BEAST with his pen!!!!!

OMG! I think I cried more this time, reading all three parts back to back! Rag is and still will be the King that he has always been. I hope to read something about his get back with Ms Selena real soon! I mourned C.J all over again as if this was my first time reading the series!!!! Even though Nard's. Heart was the initial reason for all the mayhem. .......I was finally glad when he got his.....because Newark would have never been big enough for C.J and Nard! ! Overall this series was well written, with very few grammatical errors in the first two books and very few in the last. This series was packed with action, drama, suspense, happiness and sorrows which deem close to an imitation of life! I feel as though I have a special bond with all of type characters. I also hope to read something concerning C.J Jr. GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS CA$H!!!!

Thugs Cry 3


Few Spoilers.....

Wow, this ending, had me disappointed. Like really? But man I am glad Nard got what he deserved. He went out like a punk in my opinion. Because he didn't save his man's like CJ did for Rah, or murder himself. But when Kenisha I wanted her to live but then she gave up her son for Nard like girl ain't that much love in the world could make me give up my child for no dude. Plus, that heifer Rah trusted I don't like her, at all she set him up, I knew the ending wasn't going to be good for them. Plus, what Nard and his people did to Legend, had me tight I liked that boy, him a Premo. Also, only thing I dislike was when they killed that lil five year old boy.

OMGGGGG!!!! MY HEART IS STILL BEATING LIKE CRAZY...SMH

Cash you did the darn thang!! Again you had my heart beating so fast as I read this book. I have waited on this and it was worth it I'm still heart broken, but no words can be spoken just understanding. I wanted to be a character so bad and intervene to stop some of the madness, but it's all good. I must say you are a favorite of mines because I never know what to expect, but I have never been disappointed. I never have to question your pen I just one click and buckle down for the ride because you know you get beside yourself at times...LOL. I ready for some more heat from you.. Great Job!!!

Man oh man

Ok I didn't comment on the other two books because I wanted to read thru the entire series, at leas I think it's at the end. Ok now down to the nitty gritty, first off my man CJ you are the ultimate soljah what you did for your brother from another father was just heartbreaking and beautiful, That's what you call loyalty.
Rah you went harder than any other ninja I know (oops sorry) brother I know what's overstood does not need to be explained.
Now this mofo here Nard how can you call yourself a man if you can't or would not try to except advice from others. You just young and dumb
ButCa$h you did the business. I will be reading more of your books. Thank you

Where in the HELL do I Begin....

Okay, first let me extent my appreciated and excitement for finally completing the Thug Cry Series (I only been waiting since 2013)! I literally had to go back and read part 1 & 2 to refresh my memory. This part was more than I was expecting. I was on a roller coaster ride and I didn't want it to end. No.....CJ and Rah but I understand! I'm not going to spoiled it for the rest of the tour loyal fans but Ca$h u have done an outstanding and amazing job with this one. For some strange reason I feel part 4 is in the making🤗

King Rah

I've waited a while to finish this series. And Cash did not disappoint. Rah's loyalty and love for CJ was beautiful. He went against his principles to avenge his friends death. Eric grew up so much. With the teaching of CJ and Raheem instilled in him. He's going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Finally!!

I couldn't wait to see what happened once CJ died and I wasn't disappointed. Raheem is a true beast, a gentleman but you have to respect his gangsta. I was on the edge of my seat reading this.

What a ending. Rah wasn't supposed to go out like that. They avenged CJ murder. Nard got what was coming to him. Hated to see this story end. Good Book Cash even though you had us waiting years for this book.

I must say cash did not disappoint. I lost all respect for Kenisha trifling self. And just like I always said Nard was a B***h. He had no gangsta n his blood at all. I hated what happened to Rah and em n the end but great series

I can't believe it ended for Rah like that. He should've left that heffa where she was at. Nard was never a real boss! He tried though lol

THOUGH I OWN ALL THREE BOOKS IN THE SERIES, THIS ONE: RESPECT MY GANGSTA WAS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO C.J. & TAMIKA, READING HOW RAHEEM & ERIC DEALT WITH C.J.'S DEATH & SOME OF THE LENGTHS NARD---WHO IN PREVIOUS BOOKS WASN'T NOWHERE NEAR AS HARD AS HE PRETENDED TO BE IN THIS ONE- WENT TO TO SIT AT THE TOP. IT WAS JUST TOO CRUEL. IN NO WAYS DO I FEEL THAT CHILDREN SHOULD BE VICTIMS OF VICIOUS CRIMES ESPECIALLY FOR NO MAN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE ENDING, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M GLAD NARD IS A MEMORY.
MY LEAST FAVORITE OF THE SERIES.

Blah

I absolutely loved part 1 and 2 but this one just didn't do it for me. I felt like there was way too much emphasis on the 'thugs cry' anthem. It just wasn't enough for me.
