The ending redeems it for me. I really feel for what they were going for and the message they were attempting to convey.


fukked up thing is that Hype has said that the studio pulled funding while they were filming so he had to cut a lot of what they were doing. Nas was actually supposed to shoot scenes IN Africa showing him and T-Boz flourishing as a family, and some other crucial scenes had to be cut

Did he say why they pulled funding?

Carmen: A Hip Hopera, is another hood "classic." I will never understand how Beyonce can display so much emotion in her music videos (think Ring the Alarm for reference) but fall so flat in her acting. She already sounds mentally challenged just in her natural speaking voice, but her character, Carmen, was such a bad display of acting abilities. And lol @ her placing a boom box radio right above her bathtub, and then being shocked when the shelf broke and it electrocuted her to death.

When I first watched it, it felt epic! Hip Hop was at a beautiful place, and everyone seemed to be in it. But then replay value just killed it for me, each time I watched it just lost something each time. And that whole Jamaican scarface shyt was trash!

But when it first came out, nobody was calling it trash.
