What would you want to be in it?
If a hood movie had a high budget 50-100 million

Why would a Hood movie need that type of budget? I would assume any actors that could command the salary to balloon the budget to that range ain't interested in doing hood movies anyways.

Pooping on your head :umad:
The Black version of Sons of Anarchy 
rather than focus on a Biker Gang have the movie focus on a regular Black street gang.

Clifton Powell and Jennifer Lewis would still make a cameo. 
Something "different."
We don't get hood movies with anything space-themed, anything actionous (remember the opening scene in Straight Outta Compton, imagine a movie full of sequences like that), or anything that can explore deeper subject-matter over a broad range of settings and themes.
I want a hood-movie with an exterior threat that is non-traditional, I want lasers, spaceships, super-powers.
I would want a well-done live-action Static Shock movie for instance, in a style like Deadpool or the first Spiderman, dizzying heights, incredible shots, fantastic action, and well-developed non-cookie-cutter villains.
Something like that.

Why would it need such a high budget?
boyz n the hood had a budget of 6.5 million and managed to be not just one of the best hood movies but one of the best coming of ace movies and american movies in general. so i dont think the budget is whats gonna make the difference.
you would not need 50 mil for this. the wire had a lot of amateur actors and baltimore residents cast.

$50-100M means we actually burning down a real city block, hiring 20,000 extras for a riot scene, paying the military to fly real choppers overhead and send in the real national guard...why my movie has a burnt up block and riots, no clue, but that’s all I could think of at that price range

For that type of $ I would finesse the studio and shoot 3 other flicks. Hell, one could even be the damn sequel to the initial film since all of the actors are there anyway.
Just pay them a discounted rate for the sequel and promise them some of the backend later on.
The key for all of this would be to limit the amount of mistakes so we wouldn’t waste time.
then I would throw a bag to Tyler Perry so we could use his studios and be off the damn grid. the next bag would go to some special effects dudes to fill in whatever we shoot on green screen. Next, buy the best drones money can buy for tons of nice overhead b-roll footage to be used on future projects.
Also, I’m getting the best post production dudes I can afford to chop up all of the footage and putting them in a bunker somewhere. Then we throw a few bags to get the soundtrack popping. Ask all the big (and small) names if they wanna fukk with it and see who bites. Get someone like Babyface, Saadiq and Dam Funk to all link up and score the flicks.
From there I would make sure the writing team is taken care of so they can keep working on the scripts without interruption.
When it’s all over, the studio has their initial flick and then we re-negotiate since the second film has been shot and get another big bag.
The other flicks I made on the low get shopped to Netflix or Apple since they will pay big $$$ and you have to come to them with some ready made shyt already.
