Black folks always complaining about cultural appropriation. Complain about how others are late to the party, then flip it and capitalize off of our brilliance.
When it comes to time to give up the goods, everyone gets lame. Matter of fact, nigs mad they even ASKED for donations. No one giving up the dough to see a project succeed.
The fukk is going on?

and that has what to do with what i said.. is he falunting his baby moms in our faces.. saying she badder than ours.. talking about how is kids are better than yours.. all these people got money.. its how you carry it
dudes who on front street bragging shouldn't be on front street begging
They didn't want cameos.... they could intern a crew right now. They could afford cameras and boom mics, from a few party Or hosting events....
They shouldn't have done it, that way. IMO they could have sold, a subscription service that was hosted on a site where shyt wasn't chopped into part 1 and 2 for every episode. And released like a day before the youtube...
Just my opinions
I never watched or knew about the show just gave examples.
I don't understand why they weren't able to leverage their show to a network or media outlet by now. I want to say it's because he wants to keep his same actors and majority of creative control, but I wouldve sold it already. People should still support them though, if they're all about staying indie.

I have worked in television production for over 15 years and the game has changed a lot since the earlier days. TV and music are almost the same way. I've seen the show and it's a little to grimey for any network to really want to have anything to do with it. Television is supposed to be as safe and as middle of the line as possible. For as street as the Wire was there was a lot of big names, behind the scenes that made it happen and even then it was more popular after it's original than it ever was on the air. Even if you compare Money and Violence to a show like Power, it still had the weight of 50 cent to help give it buzz. Most studios would not buy that script unless it makes heavy changes and maybe gets some more recognizable faces behind and in front of the camera realistically, that's a 2-3 year process and that's if everything goes right.

right, that's why I would gladly support the show, it wouldn't be the same show if it was on network tv. Wouldn't have many episodes and the same cast
Russell Simmons wanted to put money in it. He has a digital channel "All Def Digital" mostly comedy I think.
I watched all episodes, and all interviews (youtube). Plus followed most of the main cast on IG for awhile... I would have supported them another way. Even buying a M&V shirt...
I pretty much watch most "street" shows/movies on youtube when I have time...
Last 2 I enjoyed. If anyone wants something to watch while waiting for M&V second season.
If anyone could recommend a channel to follow on youtube, with similar flicks lemme know.

You're right a network would definitely make it less grimy and try to mainstream it. Truthfully I'm fine with them staying on Youtube. Web TV is the future anyways. I'm only wondering was there a few investors who were willing to back them on Youtube where they could continue their vision without 'selling out'. With 300,000 views per episode they have 'eyes' watching Money & Violence even in foreign countries. And like I've said they just did season 1 all by themselves and it blew up- meaning they already did what 75% of filmmakers will never even accomplish in their careers. Right now is the time to sit down with somebody or some company and get some type of deal done. Maybe Raef has to give in a tad bit in a certain area, maybe not.. I know they're about spreading a message but you might not get this opportunity ever again. And to now put your show in the hands of fans-hood cats with no dough is highly questionable imo. At worst do another season, a much shorter season, and do a lot of product placement and charge cats. I

nikkaz would cry bout product placement also
What was that sh*t they was wearing and the clothing shop they hit up towards the end of the season?.. that was product placement right there. That's the perfect route for them

This is no way comparable to jay z. Stop it bruh
Looking over this.. they need to link up with a investor or company
-Don't know if they need everything on that list though. They already have 'story' which is half the battle. That's why you see huge budgeted sh*t with all the latest gadgets, cameras, special effects, bells & whistles, big stars, huge marketing budget, etc but still flop because the story and characters are wack.
