American Gangster. Fuck what ya heard.


Yo man, I done told you.

American Gangster: The Motion Picture opened to a first weekend gross of 46.3 million bucks. (That's roughly the same amount Frank Lucas used to make over a weekend selling smack.) Biggest ever opening take for a crime movie, ever. Denzel Washington is the fucking man. Russell Crowe put in work too. The RZA was completely in character. Common? TI? eeeeeh not so much. Armand Assante. Cuba Gooding Jr. That Chinese guy who tried to kill Indiana Jones in Shanghai. And Ridley Scott, whose directing for this one now puts him at "12 more classic movies to go before the world forgives you for Legend".

Say what? American Gangster: The Album? Oh word? Really?

Never heard of it.

Check out Pete Rosenberg reporting on the AG premier in Noo Jawk. (Special peep ma gurl Angela at 3:06. Thank you for existing, baby.) And Hebrew gibberish!
