Straight outta da ghetto in D-port!


Couldn't even sit through this movie it was so bad. And I grew up in Iowa. Hard to believe they got Dre, Snoop Dog, Fat Joe, and all the other rappers on this though. Must have told them they were shooting for Boyz in da Hood 2 or something...

black people really hate wiggers geez. I like this movie im from the area it was made in, but all these wigger comments are ridiculous. rap just helps people express themselves including white people. im not a wigger and I play in a hardcore band but I bet i know 10 times more about rap then the black people on here that are mad because white people are influenced by hip hop culture. "Mos def did this film film right by promoting the fact that too many whites try to act hard when they are some pussy ass white boys." dude I dont know to many white guys that shudder in presence of a black person who gets in there face. your racist! face it! if a white person said "pussy ass black dudes" there would be a million posts screaming that the white dude is racist. *beep* that. take your racist ass out into oncoming traffic.

Im black and I agree 100% with you. I think its ridiculous that this is even a topic to argue about... but anyway, I remain nuetral, and all that wigger this and wigger that isnt even nessasary, just sayin!

This film is excellent satire on the plague that is rap and hip hop. It
shows the lives of three ordinary wannabe gangsters (gangstas?) and how
they come to realize what it really means to be from the street. This
film should be mandatory viewing for all schools across America for it
promotes individualism and true "representin".

I’ve never liked wiggers. They give white people a bad name. I would love to round these little boys up, and drop them off in South Central, LA, and see how long they last in the middle of gang territory. All that false charm, oversized sweaters and rap-video *beep* These guys would not survive a second in a real ghetto. Five seconds in any minority neighbourhood would result in them getting smoked and tossed into the dumpster. How can anyone be so self-unaware and act/dress so dumb? Are these guys REALLY for real? The only thing a wigga serves is makin black people laugh over their phoney ass behavior. America aint no place for wannabe wigger gangs...the only g's claimin turf in this country are the Blacks, Mexicans and Asians. I often wonder, if these young wiggers who live in Beverly Hills like Black folks so much...why don't they come down to Inglewood and help us out? It's only 10 miles away from the Hollywood Hills. Oh thats right...because these idiots serve no purpose other than exploit the realities and tragedies of ghetto life and turn it into some cosmopolitan culture to be fed back to rich, middle class guillable teens. The whole culture is based on Blood money. And these dumb kids are the willing participants who are feeding this machine. Damn, if America is gonna be relying on a future generation of wigger actin fools, who needs a national defense?

reply

Yeah, wiggers are poisoning our future.. I hate the *beep* as much as the next guy, but they're not THAT big of a problem.

Another thing I "like" about this movie is that these jackasses won't shut up about the ghetto when they could just as easily get shot up over in Rock Island or downtown Davenport (not saying it's as bad as LA, but believe it or not we're not just a bunch of ignorant white folk over here, this movie is basically Iowa according to somebody from a big city who never bothered to spend time paying attention to their surroundings while they were making the movie)

And whatever way you look at it, this movie sucks balls. Bad acting, bad directing, bad dialogue, and if I got the ending right, I'm supposed to be ashamed to be white. Don't you just love stupidity?

reply

So this take place in the Quad Cities? Cool I'll have to check it out. I went to Augustana College in Rock Island. Should be interesting...

When I was in high school they were holding auditions to be extras in this movie at the davenport Holiday Inn. It was kind of a first come first serve kind of deal. My friends that I was with at the time and myself didn't get an extra spot. A couple of my other friends did though, and they are in the party scene. Atleast that's what I heard. I tried to watch that movie and couldn't get through the first 5 minutes it was so effing awful.

This will be the most realistic reply:

I am from Queens, NY. I am white and grew up in a nice suburb. We don't really have "wiggers". My high school was mostly Italian and Irish. These kids all had cousins from Brooklyn that black kids would never mess with. I currently live in Vermont. Here the white kids are very scared of black kids. Very similiar to Iowa in that it is rural, mostly white, cold and full of stupid white adolescent kids wanting so desperately to be black. I agree with those that say we should drop them off in south central. I don't like much about New York, but at least there this identity crisis doesn't exist.

reply

Ahh yes. The kids I made fun of in HS are featured in this movie. I'll admit though, some of them unexplainably get hot girls. Never understood it when they are wearing clothes 3 sizes too big and driving a Grand Prix they somehow shoved 20's onto. Maybe it was the big money from the pot they sold. Anyway, growing up in the suburbs of Upstate NY and seeing these "gangstas" in action made this movie hilarious for me because it was a fairly accurate portrayal. My buddy's younger brother was "thugged out" and would chill with his boys, smoke blunts, and try to put together freestyles and would fight at the drop of a hat. Its amazing more of them didn't end up in jail, which seeing one of them do time would also be worth making a documentary of for the comedy value. Definately drop them off in Compton or the South Bronx or something, see how "hard" they are then. Just like in the Chappelle show during the Trading Spouses skit when the black father drops off the "G-Unit" kid on the corner of the inner city.
