yea, the show is dope as hell

but didnt figure i'd waste time making a thread bout a TV show thats only on BET

1/15/2007 2:06:17 PM

i just wanted to make a thread

I think this is the first show I've ever watched on BET.

what kinda spin do they attempt to give these criminals?

id imagine they are making them out to be some sort of heroes or at the very least the "product of their environment so its not their fault" deal


i hope im wrong but its BET so what else can I expect eh

1/15/2007 2:57:17 PM

ahaha nah, nothing like that

aint gon lie

i dont either

some of the cats i have heard of but i had no idea that Chamber Brothers were the real life Cash Money Brothers

the "Carter" really did exist just was called a different name

1/15/2007 3:09:22 PM

i get a "city confidential" vibe from it (A&E i think)

1/15/2007 3:09:41 PM

city confidential is a good show

I passed over the show last night; I am confused whether the connotation that a "gangsta" show is on BET is a positive or a negative.

1/15/2007 9:35:46 PM

the show doesn't glorify the gangstas. they're informative documentaries, and cautionary tales really.

somebody send me this shit

I think it's a good show because the message at the end is you either end up in jail or dead. That is if you committ crimes such as selling narcotics. It shows that crime dosn't pay.

Seeing Tookie on Gong Show was hilarious.

Freeway Rick was a REALLY low key laid back guy. I expected more.

And Im not sure if I think the store owner was involved w/ the San Fran Jewelry heist. Alot of coincidences point to him though. Watch out for those Craigslist roomates.

^i've seen that one, the jewelry heist one

seen one other one too

I've watched two of them, they're really entertaining to me. I'm a sucker for documentaries.
