Does anyone watch this web series on YouTube called Money and Violence, based out of Flatbush?

[Grizzly]

Basically. You can tell son is proud to see his work get appreciated but he has to work on his speech for public appearances. C Styles was talking during Ebro's show and Rafe cut him off Star and Buc style. He also messed up during the interview when he said people approach him lending support and asking if there are any favors needed and he mentioned spreading the word and getting the viewership up. Rafe doesnt realize that viewers will come once you have a quality product or enough of one to keep people hooked. It definitely shows as the story has improved in quality significantly throughout the season.

However, he should listen to the streets and take notes on how to improve and let those thoughts be his muse to create even further. I know how he feels though. To be excited and overwhelmed by your success; however, he cannot be blinded by those same passions.

You lookin TOO deep into this shyt bruh

Do you hear yourself ? Without Rafe there is no money and violence........ No script, no storyline, no editing NOTHING

The cast are nothing without Rafe ...he is the brains and force that drives the show....

You cannot be so dense.... the storyline and plot and humor is why viewers stay tuned and anticipate new episodes...

Have you ever written a script for an episode 6 days before release ? Don't think so....

His writing and vision carries this show 1000% .... and it's nothing short of brilliance

He wrote two novels and focused on the greatest movies to see what made them so great....

The actors and storyline/script......


The fact he's turning sh!t into gold with such novice actors is :smughusky:


Just wait till he gets better equipment and they take acting classes :leonadis:

I agree that the storyline is interesting but the execution of that story by those actors is what makes it interesting. Miz goon game, Tys griminess, Leon's hustle, the Jamaicans dialogue all lend credence to his writing and bring his tale to life. So if you could take your head out of your ass for a second, you can see that I said the show was good but he needs to acknowledge all of the pieces and not just one.

Oh my bad. Excuse me for wanting a good show with brothers on it to get better by looking too deep into shyt. I guess we should be as simple as you are and take everything as is and not want things to improve.

I guess shows like Empire are more of your speed.

Your thong is on too tight fam... stop being so sensitive.. I think Rafe/Moe/whatever you wanna call him is a smart dude... there's always room for improvement and if you look at where the show has progressed from ep. 1 to 24 you would see that he knows that and has been making those improvements... I got faith in dude that he'll take the show where it needs to go... he got them this far... and he doesn't think that the reason people are watching the show are because of his writing.. what he said was that when he was starting the series he knew that he had to put more focus on the areas that he was strong in since he's using people that never acted a day in their lives... actually listen to the interview instead of writing paragraphs based off assumptions

It's fukking brilliant.... considering the time constraints......

He leads the direction as well and probably did the casting as well....so no without his vision and dialogue they wouldn't be sh!t

Once again what shows have you written and directed in 6days?

I'd let you cook but with ya cranium that deep up ya rectum ..... your family would get a nice life insurance payout

Stop acting like it is that difficult. All you need is an imagination and time fam. What I am saying is that they all make the pieces of the puzzle come together. You can say its his vision, yes, but without the characters making his vision come to life its just a vision.

All I did was state my opinion. You are the one who got sensitive because I said he needed to take heed to advice and extend props to the characters who make his vision come to life. The acting will get better naturally as the continue to film. As they are doing this as a team effort to make his vision come to reality, he should give his team their due.

Then once again show us the script and show you directed and cast with rookie actors .......... *crickets*

It takes commitment and vision.... why can't you give props where there are due ?

He creates these characters and captivating plots ...

It starts and ends with Rafe.....from shoot to edit to release ....

Does he get creative input and help ? sure but it's still under his leadership

They are expendable and literally anybody can replace them ..... you take away Rafe


Then you don't respect your jaw!!

aim low my G. you are acting as if Rafe is doing some groundbreaking shyt here with dudes off the streets acting like themselves. I gave son his, go back and read my posts and stop ovvereacting.

I watched both interviews for the M&V crew on TBC and Ebro and I will say that although I am rooting for these guys, I can tell that Rafe will make it hard for these dudes to blow.

I get it that you had an idea to create, edit and script an entire series about the realities of the Bush, however he has to realize the main purpose of why people watch the show and it most definitely isnt his writing. I saw Ebro ask him what does he think about those people who may be scared of the title and people who say the acting is terrible and the filming is pedestrian at best. His response was that where he lacked in filming and acting, his writing capabilities is strong.

Rafe, people who watch this show are not watching for your writing and schemes or drama. The three million plus viewers that tune into the series are drawn by the shows authenticity and that is something that is not easily replicated. So while is he going on patting himself on the back about his writing, he should big up all of the cast because the viewers can identify with the Jamaicans, Tye, Mister and Miz kind of dudes in every hood across the globe. People who hate on the acting are doing such because they cant relate to that raw emotion and wont watch it anyway whether it is Shooter Shane or Larenz Tate.

They also should be careful about questions put forth by the media in these interview sessions. Sometimes the simplest response works best. Calling rappers frauds and fakes in one breath and then saying that you embellish many of the scenes in M&V for entertainment purposes is a bit hypocritical. Its all entertainment at the end of the day so criticising one form while promoting another can come across as contradictory.

Nonetheless I am rooting for all of these guys because they come from my part of BK and I want to see all of em succeed (GS9, Badass, SB and the M&V crew.

who is "SB"

How'd I miss this?

yeah i noticed during the interviews he doesn't really big up the actors/characters @ all, he just be hype to say he did all the writing and editing.
