no it doesn't have to be big budget..just original or at least coming from a different angle. Dude do you realize how often urban filmmakers shit out that kind of story? 1000 times a year.
That wasn't even a trailer that was just a half ass scene with COMING SOON at the end.
Seems like every other black dude in the inner city with a idea to shoot a movie the FIRST thing they wanna do THE DRUG DEALER STORY! And its usually 3 types:
Something like Scar Face
Something like New Jack City
Something like Sugar Hill


I guess its what you know and ease of getting the requisite paraphernalia... Hi def camera..check. Guns..check. Bags of baking soda and baby powder..check. Granmama's house for the establishing shots..check.


c'mon dude.
Is that the totality of the urban black experience for damn near all rappers? And philly rappers are the WORST for that shit.. and what the hell was Will cosigning that bullshit for he didn't grow up like that.. his father would have killed his ass if he sold weed much less hard drugs

thats as far removed from his experience as you can get and I'm willing to bet half the niggas in that room was raised the same way

reinforcing negative stereotypes for what?
