Shoot.
If syndicated radio shock jocks Wendy Williams and Howard Stern can gain best-selling status with their acclaimed literary endeavors, why can't another nationally known notorious on-air personality do the same?
In the case of Troi "Star" Torain, his infamous legend continues in the form of the new book 'Objective Hate: The Prequel' -- which was recently released.
"Objective hate is the total belief in one's self with the full understanding of man's true nature," Torain explained.
The former Hot 97 and Power 105 radio personality -- who was arrested last spring for illegal weapons charges-- became the man the hip-hop community loved to hate with the off the wall antics and racially charged commentary displayed on his syndicated shows.
Described as "more than just an autobiography but a manifesto," the self-published tome aims to deliver the gritty details of Torain's path from suburbia to urban media infamy, while capturing some of his most outrageous, brain-bending opinions.
"The exploration of Objective Hate is an experience beneficial to businessmen, strategists, seekers, finders and laymen alike," he said. "It is a beacon of light, illuminating the torrid waterways of posterity."
Oh okay.

Why is Wendy Williams considered a "Shock Jock"? In the Four Years she has been on the air in NY, she has not done or said One Shocking thing. Her title should be 'Gossip Maven' not Shock Jock!
