I just loved that iconic walk with his brothers and Fam. I remember that scene throughout the whole movie. And that highlighted Bobbie Womack song. Just love it.☑️
First time I saw this movie I knew that I knew this song from somewhere... It was killing me. Then I figured it out on the way home- It was from the opening/closing credits of Jackie Brown! Both American Gangster and Jackie Brown used the song effectively. It worked for this movie because this was the exact music at the time, popular with black folks in the early 70s. It worked for Jackie Brown because it on the "blaxploitation" genre, with the queen of blaxsploitation, the beautiful Pam Grier. Then my dad informed me that "Across 110th Street" was actually a song based on a movie of the same name in the early 70s. It all makes sense, either way. But damn, what a beautiful song.
He was really untouchable. He was definitely a very powerful man. That is why it took a while for him to get pinched. But it's definitely an amazing docudrama movie.
Reminds me of my dad. In the early ‘70s, my dad was a true hustler at the Amsterdam Light District. I never knew that, until he past away in 2016. At the funeral a few of his old mates came to show my dad their respect.
1974...remember it like yesterday..america was lost...as a kid i didnt know anything...im 56 now not alot has changed america is still lost and everything i thought i knew seems like a lie..guess i still dont know anything..
Let's remember as the man himself said there are going to be open doors in that wall, open wide to all who are willing to obey the laws of this country and willing to work hard and pull their own weight. The remainder of the wall is for those who simply come here to commit crime and wrongfully make claims to resources of this society that they neither earned nor labored for. To the FIRST group we say YOU'RE VERY WELCOME FRIEND to the SECOND group we say GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE
i say let them all in to take your job fill your streets with crimes and kill off the free voice you have right now...everybody has a plan till they get hit..the civil war is coming hope youre ready
