what a fukking retarded choice. pretty much guarantees that this won't have any sort of cult or big dvd sales after it's theater run. which is what every drug dealer movie wants (think Scarface)

Columbus Short would have been the perfect choice. He actually looks like Freeway Rick. Omar Sy, Nate Parker, Donald Glover, John Boyega would have all been better choices.

who the fukk is producing this shyt? clowns.

they should have let me and my people do it. :takedat:
How would Childish Gambino with his 1 comedy indie movie be a better choice?

He doesn't come with the stigma attached to him that Nick Cannon does.

Case in Point: Look at this thread.

America knows him as Mr. America's Got Talent. The streets know him as a soft nikka. Freeway Ricky? On what planet?

People may harbor the same feelings towards Glover. But not as strong. Also, Glover has Hollywood knocking on his door. He's going to make the jump soon.

I bet the only reason that Nick is even attached to this project is to get it funded. Most of America is like...who? The rapper? When it comes to Freeway Ricky. Hollywood executives aren't coughing up any money without a known name attached.

Still don't know how a person you never seen in more than small cameos on TV-shows would be a better choice than an actor with a resume with a wide range of movies.

I don't really think this forum represents America, in fact it's nearly the inverse representer.
Al though I agree on that he's most known for America's got talent right now, since it's a show with 10 million+ viewers it would be odd if he wasn't.

He had a strong internet campaign that got the attention of all the Hollywood trades and studios when people were pushing for him to become the new Spiderman.

He has a following. A following that's not The-Coli. He's not as unknown as you claim him to be.

“I've been wanting him to play my role since '96,” Ross said of Cannon in the video. “We got hooked up, I met him … I loved his personality.”

I knew this had to be Rick Ross's idea. Hopefully someone steps in and helps this nikka realize his mistake. :steviej:

Nick Cannon to Play 'Freeway' Rick Ross in Biopic - The Hollywood Reporter

Regardless. The movie doesn't have any financing. No studios attached. The only thing it has going for it is 1) The writer 2) Nick Cannon.

It will be lucky to ever get made.

No one has claimed that he's unknown, but he wasn't very known when his stans started a twitter for him to be the new spiderman. His fans magically creating an internet debate of a black spiderman, who obviously wouldn't be him was more impressive work of the fan than himself.

I fukks with Gambino, but his resume is non-existent for a lead actor role.
Comedy maybe. He's delivered in comedy, but to play a coke boss couldn't be further away from his resume.
And Gambino practically being known for playing a geek on a sitcom is not much better than Nick Cannon being a presenter.
With that been said I think both are bad alternatives, Imo Gambino is far worse.


But if the movie is picked up by some one of the shyttiest indie studios that hopefully is prepared to take a loss, then they might as well give Gambino a chance to do something far away from anything he's ever tried.

Larenz Tate played a semi tough character on that South Central tv show, so it wasn't that much of a stretch. This movie is going straight to DVD anyway so it doesn't matter.

South Central came out AFTER Menace II Society though

Not that it means much just informing

Yo! It's the kid 50 Cent. Just introducing myself to all my fans on here. Yayo told me about this online forum and I did NOT want to miss out on an opportunity to promote myself more to the general public. I posted this same message about Ross in another one of your threads already but as it is my first day at school, I wan't y'all to learn about me REAL QUICK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an individual who walked away from his own son and baby mother, and led her to having to go to extreme measures of becoming a call-girl. He has shown that he is not above dishonesty and faking an identity. Check his background, everything about him is fraudulent.


This is why I believe this shooting is staged; Fat boy is trying to build up promotion for him and his team because he feels threatened by the release of my spring record Street King Immortal.


I am NOT BRAGGING. I am just creating clarity for the general public. I’m in a good space. Get Rich sold ten million. The Massacre was actually a double CD. It was the maximum amount of time I could put on an actual CD, and it sold 10 million albums. My fans are worldwide. You see what I’m saying.

Check this out; You can’t name a rapper that has sold more than me at this point. I put those artists in a space where they can’t sell or compete at this point. Ja, Cam, Joe, Ross, Khalid, all of them. You see what I’m saying. The general public doesn’t care about them at this point. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t take away from what Jay has accomplished, but he let the actual money change him. You see it in his personal character. He doesn’t actually compete. I do what I want. It is interesting to hear people say I have changed. I have got the aggressive content in my material. The harsh realities. I have been nominated 13 times and haven’t actually won. The material that I am releasing is dirty, even more than Get Rich at this point. Dre didn’t actually mix my joint on time, but I love the response the project is getting at this point. I just pushed the reset button. The actual projections are interesting and response from them. My joints actually generate interest overseas, more than all of them. I am your favorite artist, and if I’m not, I wanna know why.

C'mon Coli, how long did that Lil Mama playing Left Eye thread end up being?

I expect the same outrage! :rudy:
