i dont think ive seen this since it came out lol

but watching it again as an adult, im really loving the studio scenes where they're fleshing stuff out. like the scene where they get taraji to do the hook is exciting as hell, like her reaction to hearing herself over a beat for the first time

ive never seen a film capture that feeling before

its not better than baby boy, though :ufdup:

Thats the best parts.

I watched this then get rich or die trying back to back on pluto. It's nice to pretend djay went to jail and changed his name to bama and met 50 cent in jail.

If I’m not mistaken AA got caught in some sexual misconduct while off set with this movie.

It’s one of the best movies ever made about the American Dream. Once you watch it with that theme in mind, even beyond the 4th of July setting, you see how that running thread is present in nearly every scene, with the climax being DeeJay saying when Shugs daughter grows up and asks if she can become president one day he’s going to lie to her face and tell her she can even though she got a hoe as a mama and a dope fiend as a father.

He was chasing his dream of being a producer. He wasn’t satisfied working his 9 to 5. I don’t think he saw it as throwing away his marriage.
