swhere was the scene... do you remember the part when they rolled up on malcolm and bumpy in the junkie yard.. you think malcolm and the foi would have back down after he threaten him to his face

the poster you quoted is just talking. GoH was turned down by every network and thats how it ended up on EPIX, but that happens all the time. so many times networks vote on broadcasts and sometimes they strike gold and sometimes they miss out. this is one they definitely missed on. so to say it couldnt be on Netflix or HBO is laughable. hopefully this show will help boost EPIX profile. HBO, Showtime, FX all rejected Breaking Bad and thats how it ended up on AMC and look what that did for AMC.
I don’t know where to like or hate the dude. I know I hate him but he’s so complex.
Words from the man himself. The real Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. was unapologetically Black.
Maybe I need to rewatch that scene, but I thought that Bumpy, Malcolm, and the FOI made the mob back down.

Feds are definitely smart to it now because the actual Vincent Gigante did shyt like that to try and shake the law.
I read a Ghostface interview years ago where he talked about taking the 'walking around in a bathrobe' flex during the Pretty Tony era from Gigante, who apparently walked around Greenwich Village in a bathrobe. Same reason he was wearing a bathrobe in the Criminology video, according to Raekwon.

Lmao at Gigante taking a shower with an umbrella when the FBI comes in.
His wife - “oh Hoovahh let youse guyzzz in now? Take awfff ya shoes, I don’t know where you’ve been”
chin gigante was playing the crazy angle for decades tho. he was like rick ross in never breaking character.

I seem to recall that Gigante was on the news like that all the time. I definitely remember he was in the tabloid papers a lot
Edit: at 6:00 they talk about the umbrella in the bathtub story

Good looks! Thx for this. And Sheesh, they casted Giancarlo Esposito perfectly for his role - voice inflections, speech pattern and everything.
Really good acting all around. Malcolm x and Adam clayton Powell jr are stand outs... wish the Muhammad Ali actor had a better accent but hes ok. Forest Whitaker looked 
when he has breaking the table on the last episode 
. The camera panned for too long.

You're right. At first I thought that Giancarlo was exaggerating, but he nailed the portrayal.
Dude is a great actor, for real!
