Revision as of 10:18, 16 January 2014

Tariq Nasheed (born July 1, 1977 and sometimes nicknamed Tariq Elite,[1] King Flex,[2] and K-Flex[3]) is a [4][5] author, documentary film producer, media personality, satirist, Internet radio host, relationship expert,[6] and social commentator, focusing on the psychology of dating and African-American social history.[1][4][7]

Nasheed's books on dating and finding women include The Mack Within, The Elite Way, and The Art of Mackin,[8][9] which has been called "something of a classic."[3] Nasheed has also authored two advice books for female readers: Play or Be Played: What Every Female Should Know About Men, Dating, and Relationships[8][10] and The Art of Gold Digging.[11]

His television appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,[12] Late Night with Conan O'Brien, MTV's Made, Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School, and the Current TV series Joe Gets.[13]

He has been quoted on a wide array of issues, including race relations,[14] intimate relationships and infidelity,[10] and U.S. politics and campaign finance.[15] Nasheed has also been a regular speaker on college campuses on the topics of sex and relationships.[4][16]

Nasheed produced the 2011 documentary film Hidden Colors, on the history of African and aboriginal peoples.[7] The film had a limited theatrical release around the United States before being made available on DVD.[17] Nasheed's follow-up film and DVD, Hidden Colors 2: The Triumph of Melanin, was released in 2012.[18][19]Recently, Mayor Byron W. Brown of Buffalo New York made a proclamation that declared November 1st 2013, Tariq Nasheed day in the city of Buffalo.

Mackin'," as defined by Tariq "K-Flex" Nasheed's ART OF MACKIN' (Research Associates School Times Publications, paper, $10), also isn't prosecutable, but it can certainly land you in a swamp of trouble. Nasheed's book, published in 2000, is sadly out-of-print, though it's not hard to find online. I'd like to talk about it here because it's become something of a classic -- and because it's a lot more fun than his recent book for women, PLAY OR BE PLAYED: What Every Female Should Know About Men, Dating, and Relationships (Fireside, paper, $12). Nasheed's manual "is the first 'how-to' book that teaches men how to actually become 'players' and 'macks'" -- hip-hop versions of the old-fashioned cad -- and how to use 'pimp game' as a form of manipulation (not deceit) in order to get what they want from women." [...] To woo these women, Nasheed recommends men model themselves on (a) the neighborhood pimp, and (b) Bill Clinton. Regarding (a), he writes: "One has to admit that it takes some serious game for a brother to have a stable of women 'breakin' him off cheddar' on the regular." (Cheddar, by the way, means money.) As to (b), Nasheed notes that when Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky went public, "he went on television and started 'spitting game.' And his game was so tight, his popularity rating with the public went up. Now, if that is not a mack, I don't know what is.
