Featured review
NOT a Review, per se
I just LIKE the way Monster & other G's speak openly & OTR in the candids. I'm also unable to find ANY soundtrack info on "It's Strange (You Got to Gangbang)" from the film.
But since the data field requires more, I'd say this: for marginalized communities & Nonwhite people, this is somewhat a must-see glimpse into OGs of an earlier era, circa Clinton/GW Bush!
Had USA "politics" not devolved to exactly the level of Crenshaw/Slauson/Normandy streets, it would have been easy to dismiss this doc as "special interest" fare. But 20+ years out, given the zeitgeist of South Central at turn of century, compared against that of persons sworn to uphold constitutional law in 2017-24, there's actually little discernible difference in creed OR policy as set forth. Particularly, as extended around the globe. Kody Scott's analysis of empires, delivered tongue-in-cheek & off-the-cuff actually makes a lot more sense & is even more true now than when he made the historical remarks & summed up his own LA microcosm. Brown Cap Blood is also another professor of OG analytics worth a listen. So are several more mentors of gang-affiliates featured in the flick. Deserves an anniversary re-release, imo.
But WHERE is the Soundtrack info? I only need to know about one (1) track!! Sheeese!!
