50 Cent says he now owns the rights to Paid in Full and is turning it into a TV show with Cam’ron as co-executive producer

[Barney Rubble]

I know it'll never happen but Cam still looks young and would be dope and hilarious to see him reprise his role as Rico/Alpo.

Great. More original stories from Black media.

Dame will spin this as a win somehow

Dame never owned the rights to the movie to begin with so I'm not sure what he's crashing out over, if anything he should be happy it's out of the hands of the "vultures", if he had the means to outright buy the rights like 50 did it wouldnt have been sitting dormant for 23 years.

Besides, this shyt is based on people's real life story it's not like it's an original story he made up

I fukk with 50 but man he needs to holla at someone like David Chase or David Simon (Sopranos/The Wire) to find good writers.

All of his shows have been bad to mid

 

[Awesome Wells]

BMF is trash.

So he needs to leave the hood crime sh*t alone and do some original sh*t. Dude making the same shows over and over again.

Don’t he got another 17 chapters and spinoff's of Power on deck too?

This story is played out

How creative.

Username to post irony.

 

[DaddyFresh]

another drug dealing show by 50 how does he come up with these original stories lmao

 

[ThrobbingHood]

I get what y’all are saying: how many hood/drug dealers series/movies do we need?

On the other hand, this is 50’s lane. He knows what sells. As someone else said in here, he’s the hood Tyler Perry.

Don’t expect him to deviate from a winning formula anytime soon. Would it be ideal if he branched out into other genres like sci-fi, fantasy etc? Of course but are you expecting an ex-crack dealer to do so?

The Tyler Perry of drug dealer shows

bmf was already paid in full 70... and that wasnt about shyt

but maybe paid in full 82 will provide a bevy of new delights

the creative range of this so called black excellence class is clearly governed
