But it seems we are glorifying these drug dealers turned good a lil too much. It seems like we are almost telling people, sell drugs, don't get caught, and aslong as you turn ur life around before you die, its aaaaallllllllllllll good.http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19069036Tue, 01 Jan 2008 01:21:45 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19069036Dove@ Ceelos <br> <br>I don't see it that way. I think by telling the stories you see that eventually MOST of them do get caught (or worse). For years the mob was &quot;glorifed&quot; (if you want to call it that) through movies like Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino, etc. but people recognized the stories as an important part of history. I think by telling the stories of Frank Lucas, Nicky Barnes, etc. you really get to see how the economies in certain areas flourished or failed because of the drug trade. <br>This documentary is cool because it goes pretty in depth about how important Harlem was on a global scale with regard to the heroin trade. If you saw Cocaine Cowboys, you should be able to appreciate Superfly IMO.http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19069933Tue, 01 Jan 2008 07:50:08 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19069933odeiselthe problem is that people don't see these dudes as the washed up has beens they really are but they look at them like yo i won't make the mistakes this old ass dude didhttp://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19070336Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:29:51 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19070336j.johnsonIm straight on the gangsta bio films...do something else, you stopped selling drugs...great, but you still profiting from it. Do a bio film on Langston Hughes someone...of course not a ex drug dealer but somebody please http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19089662Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:53:22 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19089662fifthwardtx@ Ceelos &amp; Dove - you both make valid points but in the end I side more with Ceelos on this matter... <br> <br>Dove your angle is much like the one used by most rappers who say they just talking about what goes on in the hood, when most of us who are from the hood already know what's poppin in the hood! <br> <br>Personally, I am like you Dove, I enjoyed the Cocaine Cowboys, Amer. Gangster and the other documentaries and movies on the trade... but growing up in 5th Ward I saw first hand how drugs flourished and simultaneously ruined the lives of not only the users and their families but also of the drug dealers... so for me watching like many of you is purely entertainment but the real problem (much like with hip hop) is that we are not the problem, it's those who are so easily influenced by fast money, fast cars and girls...our kids, the next generation! <br> <br>Go and visit your local middle or high school and you will see first hand the impact these messages and images are having on our kids... 12 yr. old girls wanna be the next Superhead and the 13 yr. old boys wanna cake up as D-Boys who SAY they ain't scared to go to jail... <br> <br>Anyway, I will cop this, like I said for me it's entertainment, not necessarily edu-tainment....http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19089673Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:55:52 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19089673fifthwardtxoh... @ j johnson - that's real talk too... <br>there are also many contemporary examples of the kinfolk caking up without the dope game ... <br> <br>a black &nbsp;teenage millionaire - www.DrFarrahGray.com <br>the first CEO of a publicly traded company - www.Ephren.com <br> <br>Now that's gangsta IMOhttp://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19099258Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:24:33 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19099258bossdawgWhy don`t somebody do a story on me. I get up and go to work everyday and I work hard for my damn money. Working for the Army ain`t no damn joke. I guess that ain`t good enough though. Maybe if I get in trouble then they will.

Mcdonalds always hiring. I know niggas personally who would rather go to jail than work a 9-5, fa real....i wish i could say i was joking. Selling drugs is not the last resort. Im from the Westside of the Chi so i've seen it all. We all have seen shit in the hood. We smarter than that so if you don't have on, GET A JOB (unless u in school)http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2007/12/31/19057254.aspx#19135206Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:39:07 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19135206TokenI respect the accountability he has for his actions. He didn't blame the man or his environment for his choices. I am glad he turned his life around. That being said, I am sure his drug pushing killed thousands of people. We all make mistakes, but being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people is some deep shit. &nbsp;
