Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson couldn't sound more like a nigga if he had a chicken leg shitting out his ass, while doing the soul train line on a float going down Martin Luther King Blvd during the black history month parade tribute to Harriet Tubman!

So, with that being said, 50 Cent is coming out with a new movie called "Things Fall Apart". As, mentioned by the voice over this is the most critically acclaimed event of his career! Which ain't saying much, since Kanye West beat him out in the rap album war, with what could arguably be Kanye's whackest album to-date!

Here is a "un-official" trailer of the movie, judge for yourself:




Okay, so here are the good points:

1) 50 apparently funded this project himself; which, I have to say, I respect. I can never hate on a someone who takes their own abilities and resources and gets the job done.

2) Positive representation! Okay, so it's another football movie. It seems Hollywood loves when a nigga overcomes something that allows him to be in the starting line-up of some football game; but then again, Hollywood only casts niggas as athletes or singers anyway. At least it's not 'Boyz In Da Hood 4" or "Friday Part XXIII"

3) Good cast. Minus Ray Liotta, the cast seems to be well rounded. Any movie that can get Mario Van Peebles to put some activator on his S-curl, is great in my book! P.S. - I don't like Ray Liotta, because he has been ignoring my love letters for years!

Here is the bad:

A) It's starring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. The name alone makes me not want to buy a bootleg from the Africans on 42nd & Broadway. Secondly, I can't take a dude seriously who has veneers!

B) Typical! Okay, so I know I'm back tracking, but the same thing that makes me love the idea of this movie is the same that makes me not want to watch it! Every time a nigga comes out w/ a movie, we have to be overcoming some horrible experience. The new formula is add a nigga + or - a mother, welfare, cancer, drugs, gangs, or AIDS and put words to the paper and there is your movie! For just once, I want to see a nigga doing some Jennifer Aniston type shit! Like, forgetting their daily planner in a cab, and falling in love with the fool who returns it!

C) There really is no "C", just wanted to round out the hate! Hate!


Now, movies about sports or athletes are not my thing, so I wasn't gong to see this movie anyway. With that being said, I will go to support a brother who had brains enough to put money to his own project.

I hope that you guys go out and support him, as well. If only to keep this nigga off the streets, cause he got shot 9 times for snitching - imagine what he would get if he came back to his old hood after having such great success. Supporting this movie is part of the "Keep 50 alive" initiative.
