Video summary

The video transcript centers on a heated debate regarding the upcoming sequel to the FX series *Snowfall*, specifically focusing on the controversy of active gang members portraying their own counterparts in the show. One speaker, identified as an older figure or "OG," expresses strong disapproval of Bloods and Pirus taking roles that blur the lines between reality and fiction within gang culture. He argues that while actors like Denzel Washington can safely play violent roles because they are clearly just acting, active gang members doing so sends a dangerous message to youth and undermines cultural integrity. The speaker insists that no amount of money should justify an active member playing a role that glorifies or normalizes the very lifestyle they live, stating he would rather work manual labor than compromise his principles for a paycheck. The discussion delves into the concept of method acting versus the reality of gang life, with one side arguing that actors become so immersed in their roles that they might genuinely believe the persona they are portraying. However, the opposing view maintains that these specific individuals are not merely actors but active participants in street life who should know better than to confuse their profession with their actual identity. The speaker challenges the notion that these young men are simply trying to make ends meet or feed their families, suggesting instead that this decision reflects a lack of proper mentorship and guidance from older generations within the community. He questions how such a situation could have escalated so far without intervention, placing the responsibility on those who should be raising and protecting the younger generation. Despite the intense criticism, the transcript also highlights a contrasting perspective that acknowledges the potential positive impact of the sequel. This viewpoint suggests that the series aims to honor the legacy of late filmmaker John Singleton by exploring themes of poverty, addiction, and the struggle for identity within a gang-ridden community. It notes that characters like Wanda are focusing on overcoming their past addictions and using music to revolutionize culture, while also addressing the challenges faced by young Black men in such environments. The video concludes by praising specific cast members, like Glasses Malone, for maintaining cultural integrity and not blurring the lines, while encouraging viewers to engage with the content and support the channel for more reviews and discussions on these complex social issues.

[music] Yeah, we on TV. >> Yo yo. Hey, man. Guys, I don't know if you guys seen it, man, but they got a Snowfall sequel and it's about to go down, man. And I'm going to tell you right now, these guys are playing hard ball, man. Snowfall sequel, the drop pivots, the LA drug game, and rap fame. So, it's going to be it's a hell of a sequel. And and and when I seen it, I was like, man, OG, that that OG, you there listening to this? Franklin Saint, the young Andrew hero at the center of FX blood soaked snowfall uh evolved from crafty entrepreneur to lethal drug kingpins in the journey that was anything but heavenly tracing saints rise and fall over six seasons. The final episode was was uh bathed in tragedy. Uh Saints uh uh Damon Edris uh was a a lost soul wrecked by alcoholism, poverty. Many members of the inner circle, including family members, were dead. Uh, fugitives are behind bars. His former right-hand man, Leon Simons, Isaiah Jun, and Leon's girlfriend, Wanda Bell, Gail Bean, were striving to rebuild their lives and getting married. Snowfall became one of the FX signature series dramatic filmmaker John Singleton, portraited of the complexities of the crack epidemic that weakened havoc. And I mean this thing here wrecked havoc of the black community. Idris and producers carried the Singleton Vision uh when the Boys in the Hoods writer director died of a stroke in 2019. Boy, this was a hell of a goddamn movie and now they coming back with the sequel. OG, are you excited? >> No, sir. >> OG, what you mean? What you mean, >> man? I mean, the movie is could be entertaining, but it has blurred lines for the culture. When you look at when you look at this, the drop snowfall, I mean, one of my buddies told me, had I watched it, and when I watched it, man, it broke my mark. I'm looking at this and I'm seeing some true G's, I mean, active members out here in these streets. So when you have your lines blurred, we always talk about actors that put dresses on. You know, one of the few actors that never put a dress on was Danzel Washington, uh um uh Morgan Freeman, and Samuel L. Jackson. And you look at an actor when they put that dress on, they didn't been compromised. Right. >> Right. So for a active gang member to switch sides and say it's just acting that's like putting a dress on. So you got some G homies that are Bloods and Pyus are taking on [ __ ] rolls and they think it's just acting. Now, we we had a culture some years ago on the south and the east coast because the lines were blurred with pyros and crips hanging together in the south because they didn't know that to separate the difference. Right. >> Right. >> So now when somebody from South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi see these guys and know that they're reputable saying cuz putting on blue, Skip Townsen is a representative of 20 Bloods in LA. a a a G representative. Now you got you got Glasses Malone. Glasses Malone is a G out of watch. When he first come on, he's playing a [ __ ] All the the roles that are in that movie. How did they take these three guys and make have them for a extra part you get a certain amount of money from the SAG? Now, if you get a speaking role, you may get a couple of hundred extra dollars. It ain't like they got paid 25,000, 10,000. They may got a,000 or 1,500 for the roles that they played, but now it puts a lasting impression on gang activities. I didn't become a [ __ ] on TV. >> Oh, gee, let me stop you right there. It it it when you're an actor, these guys are probably method actors. I don't know if you know what that is, but a method actor becomes the person that he's acting as. so much so he gets caught up in it and he's just acting a role but he becomes that person so much you're so much into it that you it become believable these guys that you're trying to throw a monkey wrench at or say that these guys took a role on playing a a a [ __ ] uh but basically playing a [ __ ] and they oh and they py or blood I'm going be real with you they're just trying to further their uh um their um career >> no you women first of Come on, let's stop right there. And I'm glad you said that. A method actor, you get into a role so deep you believe that yourself. >> That's right. >> That's my That's my point. How in the hell is a Pyro going to believe he a [ __ ] You must wanted to be a [ __ ] all day. >> No, G, this is acting. Denzel played man on fire. You think he blowed those damn buildings up? >> He wanted to. You said he got into it. He was right into that. And you every time you see him, you think about blowing them buildings up. >> The sad part about it is the sad part about a lot of people going to say, you know, why are you why are you even saying anything about these young brothers trying to get to the bag? A lot of people going to say that you like you hating on them, man. >> Yeah. I Well, what? Yeah, I'm hating. My daddy was a hater. My point is I you some things you just can't do for the bag. I'm not going to do it for the bag. It's not it's not going to happen. I don't care how much money you give me. It's certain things that I'm not going to do. And that's one of them. I I just I could never play that that I remember one time uh uh I was with uh Bobby Brown and they played this gang of roses. Right. >> Right. >> And and and they needed some more people to be in this saloon. >> Right. >> As a uh as as as u extras. And so they asked me and uh Captain Curtis, man, we we need we'll give y'all uh $800 just to sit to be in this scene. Right. >> Right. >> So when we got into the scene, it they were going to show our pictures in uh standing at the bar. We put these cowboy suits on. Right. >> Right. >> But they gave us cowboy suits without a gun. So >> the the uh um uh the girls were supposed to come into the bar and when they pull out their gun, we were supposed to break and run and hide. Right. >> Right. >> I couldn't do it. >> Why? >> I ain't a method actor. Because if you got a gun, I'mma have one and shoot back. Goddamn. >> Oh, G. This is active. That's what I'm saying. You You're taking it too far. I want to be real with you. You compare these two these young men who probably this their first acting role and and you compare them to a a actor putting a dress on is you know I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't I don't know I really don't understand how you guys are moving in your situation you're moving in. But if a guy's an actor I do know something about that. I watch actors. I've met actors. I've interviewed actors. These guys are acting a role on a movie, on a film set, and once that camera goes off, a method actor clicks back into who he is. So why are y'all so why are y'all so uh uh >> it's a bad it's a bad look on the culture. Period. It's a bad look on the culture. And it's it's not rewarding to our side. I you know, I don't care how you explain it. as a OG, I just can't sit back and feel like to go along to get along. I got to say something about it. Whether it's it's for me or it's against me. I've had too many calls. I've called too many other G's. You know, uh the people that I've talked to and talk when Skip did this, I confer I confronted people close around him and he like, man, I don't know what he was thinking, man. I tried it, but it's just it's blurring the lines. If you're okay, I'm not active. Okay, it's cool. But for some youngsters, for them, it was bad advice. They have roles in there that could have played a blood part for Bloods to play the part. So to take me over and put me in some place out of my element. How do I explain that? OG, what's your favorite movie? OG, >> what's my favorite movie? >> Yeah. >> Uh, Shrek. >> Do you really think Shrek is in that? Is really look like that in real life. >> Yeah. >> What I'm telling you is, man, these guys are putting on >> That's really That's really That's really Shrek. >> They're acting OG. That's really true. >> You think Jamie Fox really Jango and he goes around killing uh people that don't look like him? >> Do Do you think Do you think that that wasn't Jamie Fox in that dress? >> Oh, gee. There's been a lot of them in the dress. And I I have respect for these people, man. >> Okay. I respecting one thing, but the >> Kevin Hart, uh, any of those guys, man, that any of those guys, Martin Lawrence, uh, Tyler Perry, I mean, these guys are still men. >> Would aggress every one of them, >> they're men, OG, they're men at the end of the day? >> Are they Are they Have you ever seen Tyler Perry with a with a woman? >> OG, now you're going too far. Now you're going too damn far. You don't know that man. He got a child. He got a baby. What you talking about? >> Yeah, it's a G. I I I just tal we just talked about a a a transexual that had six kids. >> Damn. >> So what? He didn't cut everything off to be a woman and he he had six six children. So your point is what? >> Og there there there's there's a problem with the way you you're answering these questions because these boys are just act they're acting. They're acting. They're acting. They're acting. They're acting. >> Is Yeah, they've been acting then. >> No, they ain't been acting. This is a role that came up in in honor of the late great John Singleton. They trying to act. >> So, you're saying this is not their first role? So, they've been acting all their lives who they said they was. >> Yeah, they was. I I I just don't know the politics of it. But if a guy go out and find a job and and do something uh that's useful and and and he's trying to make ends meet, may have children, may have trying to make a dollar out of 15 cent, a dime and a nickel. Why would we not commend him? I don't know y'all politics, but I do know that a man is going out trying to feed his family, these guys got to feed their family. So, at the end of the day, uh are are y'all coming together as the in these groups and trying to help the members of whatever's going on with y'all? No. So they got to eat, man. They got to eat. >> That's That's a sorry excuse. >> So it's some it's some things that you do for money when you come home, your wife need to hit you in the head [laughter] >> or your mama need to hit you in the head. >> Well, guys, y I want y'all to go ahead. >> The saying the old old saying is all money ain't good money. >> I get it. >> They say and and they say this. My dad used to tell me this. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. >> Wow. >> So when we out here, when we out here representing, we out here standing on what what they call standing on business. >> Yeah. >> I'm not deflecting at all. What you see is what you get. What you hear is what you get. When you see me, I'm not going to change. It's going to be me 100% ever since I've been in these streets. So for to send blurred lines to the other part of the world who we represent, it really bothers me. It really bothers me. And and and and no excuse you can make can tell me that you can justify I don't care how much money that it I would rather go uh shovel [ __ ] at the [ __ ] factory than the crossdress. Period. Oh, G. I'm going just say this, man, and I and I want you to hear me out on this. Let me get it out and then I'mma end this thing. Two people can be right and wrong at the same time. Those guys are trying to make ends meet and and and in one way they're right, but in another way they're wrong when it come to the the G to the gang culture, you know. And then you wrong cuz you ain't try to pick up the phone and talk to them. Maybe they would have changed. Y'all not staying close to y'all little youngsters out there. We don't let our youngsters do this. Our youngsters, we stay close to them. We look out for our youngsters. So on I guess you going to have to do a better job than that. Then you don't have nobody to blame but y'all. The ones who the older spoke persons that should be able to have said something that not let this happen. But that's just that ain't my business. But I'm just saying that it it seem like you're looking at it wrong the wrong way. >> Since you since you so such an elder, where was you at when M three got >> Wait a minute, man. This ain't what about me, man. >> You just said what what we do in Texas. Where was you at? Where was you at when the tragedy happened at the pink house? >> Oh, gee, I was You know, I was out of town. Stop it. >> Where where was you at when with when little Rob got uh and his kids? Where was YOU AT WHEN WHEN P got got gunned down on the West Coast? Where was you at when Biggie got hit up over there? Where was you at when when the when the boy at PMG, the one got killed at Rosco's Chicken and Waffle? Where was you at when Draco got stabbed in the neck like that? Where the hell was you at? >> I was I was at home, but the people that did it was from Texas. >> Whatever, OG. All I'm saying is y'all got to raise them boys up right if y'all going to say if you going to be mentoring them and having them in. These are younger guys. That's all I'm saying. Now, y'all can get mad at me, but I'm just telling you, I put it back on you. That's what I do. Now, if he out there acting like he was a [ __ ] and he he supposed to be representing a blood set or or or pyu set, then at the end of the day, OG, how did it get this far? I asked you, how did it get so far detached from where it should have been? That's the question. >> I allowed it. >> There you go. There you go. >> That's the answer. That's the answer. That's all I can say. >> It's done. >> Wow. I hope I hope and pray that those guys are >> mean I have to like it. >> Oh gee, a lot of people be saying, "How are you still even related to any of this stuff?" And you and you're a older guy. They want you to get out of the game. >> Well, well, I and and my reply to all of those idiots that ain't said nothing. How many generals you seen in the army that's 20 years old? We're all veterans. >> Wow. Wow. Good answer, OG. Well, guys, get in the comments if y'all y'all heard what I heard. OG talking crazy and and he ain't letting up on some guys who in this new series uh the sequel. I came >> I came in hot talking about it, showing love to him. Uh uh uh in this new series, Wanda moves to the center stage as she becomes uh laser focused on making it big in the music business, convincing the the fledged rap genre can uh revolutionize American culture. She is also channeling her strong will to get beyond her addiction to crack, which plagued her in snowfall. She uh enlists her young cousin Lamar Kinsey uh Asante Black, a music prodigy raised by strict religious grandparents as her vehicle to stardom. Lamar is also trying to deal with his identity as a black man living in a community overrun by waring and gangs. This here helps to people to see how we unfold and came out of these poverty situations and these these all these different specific things we went through in our community. And I commend these guys for putting this back on too and just giving an eyesight to it so that other youngsters can know their history and what happened with their parents. A lot of it happened and a lot of it we can't take back, but we got to embrace what happened. Uh, >> and and and a and a shout out to the storyline because Big Daddy, you hear you hear the name Kenzie. Yeah, but they just put the S instead of the C. Yeah, >> Mr. Kenzie.
