but here's the trailer my people for black mafia we're just gonna see
they gave us anything to see to be excited about take a look
it what do you think what what do you think about that i want to see okay um big larry
how you feeling as 50 cent said he said this is going to be better than power and until you
reminded me that j-mo is actually in black mafia family i was like 50 stop with the hype train
but you know what larry i'm down for it it's going to be better than power because it's in detroit
yeah i'm looking forward to it i think it should be good um um yeah you know i just you know why
it's gonna be better y'all why is that because he got the people that lived that story oh okay
okay so you getting you getting stories they may have to twist things but you getting a raw
kind of like a war story to things so here is what go ahead here's my here's my problem with
some of this i i like all these power stories i just i feel like it's just a matter of time
before we start getting pushback from folks because there's going to be all
these stories with all this glorification of of this sort of gang culture and drug life
and and i feel like it's just a matter of time before that stuff gets starts coming back up
because i feel like there's like we we need to have some balance and i don't think we're getting
it a whole lot like we have run the world which i think was a nice balance i didn't
like the show very much but i think it was a good balance for what we see otherwise but a lot often
often times the shows that we're seeing are really just a lot of it's a lot of negativity you know
well you got wonder years getting ready to come out and some white people is upset that they made
the cast black and i'm telling you what chris let me tell you what crystal said to him this
is one of the ones that says i don't see color so crystal says i thought you didn't see color
yeah how are you gonna get man because baby look at what they did with
cartoon a white white woman yeah now to larry's point
to larry's point about the glorification of drugs and all that larry
i'm with you i'm i'm with you i i'm with the merits of what you're saying but the problem
is too many people want to watch train wrecks and they want to agree and that's why that's why that
type of stuff is never going to go away i mean for me a balance of what i watch is i watch marvel too
that's the balance for me but a lot of people sit around all day eating bonbons watching the real
housewives and all that stuff which is a travesty up to itself let alone you come over here and you
watching the glorification of drugs cheating on women killing people finding heroes that are
really not really villains but you're liking them kind of similar to what it was when stone cold
steve often was going at vince mcmahon stone cold go ahead here's the thing though lamont if we like
i feel you on that whole 100 agree with you that people want to watch this stuff and and so there
are people who are watching now there's a lot of people who don't want to watch this and they don't
and but there's a lot of that want to see this type of content and it's successful as
a consequence but i think there's also a lot of people out there that would like to see
something different like like we we both talked about the show billions we don't review it but
we've talked about it now imagine if they did a show similar to billions that is you know that's
about black wall street culture think about if you did something like that based on like the life of
that dude from that will smith played in that kid that movie uh the pursuit of happiness that black
dude came up from nothing and started it and started uh you know an investment an investment
firm i'm thinking to myself that dude you know that he dealt with all kinds of craziness on wall
street all kinds of people trying to undermine him all kinds of racism all i could imagine the
stories that could be told through that dude's eyes in a very high drama you know wall street
themed show like that i mean there's wall street wall street theme shows do well they work i mean
you have billions and black monday both of them are on the air and both of them are successful
i think there's room for another one yeah but larry they're not going to be as those two
shows certainly are not as tame as the show that you're talking about would have to be because in
both billions and wall street people are getting killed i'm not talking about making the tam i'm
talking about taking it completely off the rails and making it crazy as [ __ ] and being greedy
how would that be how would that be any different from this well because it wouldn't be that it
wouldn't be the typical i'm selling drugs and shooting people up and killing people it would
be more it would be more cerebral stuff more backhanded stuff people getting people getting
you know flipping on people turning people in people you know making business deals and
destroying entire people's careers still an entire family's wealth all the kind of stuff that happens
that that in wall street on wall street and you have all of this seen through this guy's eyes
i mean that's what i say like kind of what you see in billions but just tell it from his perspective
tell it with that guy's stories you know like sound like the same thing to me when you rob
when you white collar crime somebody and they lose all their money they go commit suicide sound maybe
maybe but that's the difference is like if you tell it because because we do have i mean there is
i mean if we just show the crime element of it yes but you know i mean when you look at billions they
show a criminal element sometimes but also they show very much just the way deals are made and
done and how people move and i think you can do something like that too with black people in this
what this do with this black firm i i think that i just think that if they take the time and make a
good show and show black people something else you know another way out like they always talk about
the only way out is selling drugs or playing ball and that's just simply not true there are
other ways out the uh of poverty other ways out of of your typical background other ways to you
know to elevate and to and to and to climb that that financial and social ladder in this country
and i think they should show that and there's room for it there's space for it people want to see it
and i would love to watch a show like that you know and i think someone like someone like what's
his name um kenya barris that dude is crazy as [ __ ] i bet you if you went to his mind you would
be afraid because it's so yeah dude's freaking nuts but i bet you he could write the [ __ ] out
of a movie like that or a tv show like that and if you take it to a place like showtime that
would give him this complete just carte blanche to run amok i bet you would be wildly successful
this brother right here was on a very very good family high drama show back in the day um and i
get for the life of me i can't think of the name of the show i know you're talking about it yeah
you're talking about lincoln heights lincoln yeah yeah
that was the kind of show larry is talking about right now
they canceled it and it was good it was good i turned on so many people to that show that's
when i knew before youtube i could probably do some tv show reviews because i turned on
whole families to that show lincoln heights was a good show and this brother could act his butt off
he was in the grim too i liked that show too that was on
yeah post your comments people let us know what you think about black mafia family
