I can dig it... but I wanna say that was before they was flooded with that work. But he was a teenager and living there too

:yeshrug:
I feel ya tho
And that’s where I give him the benefit of doubt... I assume that he about 19... but if you got a Gold Rolex and a Saab... you can pay rent at a spot out the hood and still be close to the work... but I see his selfishness when his mom had the note for Sonny’s ransom and he says to her “why you asking me bout MY money” he quite possibly could of had enough or close enough to meet the demands but it’s like all he see is after I pay this I’m right back broke... it’s like he valued his rep and money more than the life of his brother.. but I’m basing this off speculation... still a top 5 movie of all time for me

Aye... he damn sure was a materialistic minded individual. His character definitely had flaws but he loved Sonny and I think would do anything for him

“Naw lil man this OURS...”

:to:
I always dug that part too

Her was like 16

Peep...


I started seeing all the YouTube about the real Rich and Po clips years after I seen the movie... Maybe I’m looking at it from the perspective that the actors in the movie don’t match the age of the real life people they are portraying.. so yeah maybe at 16 17 caked up you ain’t moving... probably thinking “for what?” I get it

He was like 16 with a lot of money, basically didn't know what to do with it...

Peep...



Came out a few years before paid in full...


If you had the Mobstyle bonus DVD that they sold packaged with Game Over there is a clip of Nas reading for the Rico character's part.

This scene left me conflicted... cause it’s like all this bread and you still got ya moms and lil brother in the dump.... Where you can clearly see Ace got a spot with a doorman once he came up

funny you say this...I was marathoning ‘gomorrah’ and quite a few of the bosses who formed an alliance were still living in the slums in their equivalent of the projects but inside the apartment would be lavishly furnished...idk I guess it’s a combination of feeling protected since they ran the projects and also being extremely comfortable with what you know/familiar with

1. When Rico aired Calvin out...

Instead of earning some free money and STFU, Calvin had to bytch to Ace over Rico. He should have been grateful because most cats would have left him high and dry. Ace should have had Rico shot off GP when he said "I'll see you later". I knew Calvin was skeaming too.


2. Ace telling Rico to Live and Maintain..


Those were some wise words. Get your money and lay low. Rico over here bringing unwanted attention by showing his Pornos in the club and taking photos with 2 Gunz up like he was Styles P.


3. Calvin getting Swiss cheesed by:stopitslime:.


Nikka made Calvin do the Harlem Shake with he got hit up. His dirty azz crossed the line trying to pull a Akickdoe on Ace. Killed his Aunt and her friend. Ace fought back rather than go out like a bytch. That took heart



Why couldn't Calvin just swallow his pride and get money with Ace??? Rico smoked his azz into Kermit Pack.
