I don't get why the Free World jumped Jimmy


The whole film those jackasses posed as tough, going-hard rappers. The Free World and Three-One-Third fought in a brawl during the second altercation. Lyckety-Splyt hit Future a few good times. Yet, all seven members jump Rabbit. Weird.

Because Jimmy beat up Wink and Wink knows where Jimmy lives.

and I don't get how a stick boy like Em fights like Tommy Hearns and kicks everyone's Butt in this Move?? (OK Except when he's jumped by Six guys)

reply

It still isn't an explanation as to why it took six so-called tough guys to jump one man? My point being that the Free World had no problem fighting Rabbit and his crew fairly in the first two altercations.

reply

Revenge? Rabbit beat the *beep* out of Wink, so they beat the *beep* out of Rabbit. Previously in the movie, nobody had beaten the *beep* out of anyone else, so there were no reasons for an unfair fight.

reply

When Future slammed Lyckety-Splyt, that was close to "beating the sh#t" out of him. Rabbit also would have beaten Papa Doc/Clarence bloody had he gotten past Wink and Papa Doc's goon with the vest.

reply

I think I'd have to disagree with that. It wasn't very close at all. He pulled the guys feet out from under him, but that was it. On the other hand, Rabbit connected several direct hits to Wink's face. It was very different.

reply

Revenge or not, it was a big pussy move.

Tit for tat, I guess.

reply

"Tit for tat, I guess."

True, but their wanna-be tough guy attitudes are contradicted in that scene.

reply

You sound like one of the many delusional overzealous Eminem fans. Eminem is a scrawny little chump and anyone in the Free World would put M's balls in a jar. Eminem had no "attitude" until he had an entire posse backing him up while he could pistol-whip someone for screwing with Kim.

Big man on the internet. Get off my thread, shrimp dick.

Just one question (be it grammar nazi or not): is your native language English?! Because if it is then... well, then you should know by now the difference between "your mind-set" (meaning "possession" of a certain mind-set, which is the form you should use) and "you're (a) mind-set" (which would mean that he is a mind-set.

Have you guys ever been in a fight? If you get beat up, your friends have your back, period. That's why when he stopped the car to fight Papa Doc/Clarence his friends joined him even if they didn't really want to. That's just what you do.

reply

Yes. I'm just saying that the two groups fought fair before, but then all seven Free World members felt the need to jump B-Rabbit later.

reply

Please. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Snicker picker.

reply

Because Wink was part of the clique. An attack on one is an attack on all
