Im Rick James, B!tch, Showtime Documentary, September 3

[mastermind]

I’d also watch a movie focused only on Rick and Prince fukking with each other on tour lol

That’s the other thing too, lol.

The beginning of Rick James becoming popular, Bootsy Collins said that George Clinton was mad at Rick because he took their music and meshed it with pop which made him more money than them. Rick James was an interesting dude lol.

He really was. When dude was looking back at his own life, even in interviews he had a remarkable amount of self awareness, insightfulness and intelligence. And dude was clearly a musical genius

But then when you heard all the fukkery he got involved in you start to wonder if he was the same person

Cocaine really is a hell of a drug

I would love a doc of him and Neil Young living together and writing and making music together for Motown in the 60s. It doesn't even compute.

Just got a Showtime trial and checked this shyt out based on this thread. Great doc.

Kinda crazy when you think about it, but the two universally recognized GOATs (Prince and Mike Jack) both indirectly owe a lot to Rick James when it comes to their popularity. Lionel Richie too.

About to check this Suge Knight shyt out now.

Same shyt happened to Sly stone,, james brown and Charlie wilson

Cocaine and hard drugs will eventually fukk your life up and lead you down the darkest roads that you never thought youd be on

 

[NormanConnors]

Saw the doc.

Told folks a long time ago that Motown let Rick down by not having his back when he stepped to MTV for not playing any black videos.

And Jay Lasker is a cuban cigar smoking fraud who was looking for any excuse to wash his hands of Rick.

Facts

 

[NormanConnors]

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Dude complained about what they were rapping about when he basically did all of that in real life lol

but yeah I enjoyed the doc. Rick’s entire life before he made it big, being on the run from the army, linking up with Neil Young, could be a separate movie in itself

I’d also watch a movie focused only on Rick and Prince fukking with each other on tour lol

This would be gold, they could even get away with using made up characters based loosely off Rick and Prince to pull it off.

Yall think Rick and his gf were guilty of torturing that girl? I do. All 3 were probably on a crazy binge and Rick and his chick took it too far I'm sure.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Dude did it....they were all smoking and they went OD with the shytz
