Jay-Z Inspires Hip-Hop Movie Musical, I Die A Slow And Painful Death . . . Twice

Last night as I watched my Chris Hansen bust some random Nigerian scam artist on Dateline I said to myself "It would be be great if I could see Gucci Man, Lady of Rage and JT Money perform together in a stage play." Fast forward to this morning . . .

The new award-winning, highly- anticipated hip-hop musical, "Confessions Of A Thug," starring Daron Fordham and featured on the cover of the current (March 31st through April 6th) edition of Billboard Magazine, has been released on DVD in the U.S. domestically by Polychrome Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Home Video.

"Confessions Of A Thug," is a groundbreaking, hip-hop musical chronicling the life of a college-educated street hustler, who explores the path his life has taken. In addition to directing, Daron Fordham (Black Spring Break I & II) starred in and also wrote the picture.

In an interview, Fordham said that he was "inspired by the entrepreneurial example of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z to make the picture." The movie is a cutting edge urban crime drama, with an outstanding soundtrack of original music, presented with a fresh, new approach to the genre. The movie also includes performances by multi-platinum rap artists J. T. Money and The Lady of Rage. (source)

. . . . I have nothing.

On second though, yes I do. Everybody knows that a stage play isn't a stage play without Vesta Williams and at least one former cast member of Good Times. Anything else would be uncivilized.
