Product Description From ghetto celebrity to rap stardom, When Thugs Cry follows the violent path of two brothers through betrayal and deceit, a drug-addicted mother and the temptations of the rap lifestyle. Featuring extreme music by deep-throated rapper Jah-Rista and prol From the Back Cover Written, produced and directed by veteran guerilla filmmaker Parris Reaves. When Thugs Cry tells the story of two brothers making the transition from Alabama's home prairie to Chicago's backstabbing asphalt plains with a prolific output of rap music that would take them beyond ghetto celebrity to a major record deal. That collective ambition is obstructed by sibling rivalry primarily influenced by the brothers' attempts to liberate their mother from drug addiction, exasperating discord with spouses, the deceit and betrayal of colleagues. Deep-throated rapper Jah-Rista and prolific producer Soundmaster T virtually play themselves in their feature debuts as the brothers Jeffrey and terry Love. Veteran actor Carl Wright - who appears in Soul Food, Big Momma's House, and Barbershop - plays the kindly minister who helps the brothers persevere in the struggle to turn their mother around while following their collective dream.

Tight Movie!
I bought this movie and watched it twice so far. It is an excellent movie. I don't know what people mean by bad acting, because I think the acting was great in this movie. That is how people act in the streets. I liked the story line, loved the music, and loved the sad parts of the movie. I love the funeral scene, it feels like I'm in the same church crying with them. Very nice movie this was indeed. I doubt anybody I know in the offline world would like this movie, but they are not street life fanatics like me.

More Like a Long Music Video
I didn't like this. I tried and tried to watch it all the way the through but I couldn't. The music was good but I was tired of hearing it. They broke out in some kind of musical number every 10-15 minutes. They told the story both threw acting and music, which is ok, but I was tired of it. I dont want to listen to rap music for hours. The movie description and the movie itself seemed not to match to me either. I don't know. Redo the movie and remove the music and you might have a pretty good show.

Best Thug Motivation Movie......
This is the best "thug motivation-type" movie I've seen in a long time,eventhough it's been out for a long time now? I didn't even know it existed unitl Amazon put it in my recomemdations. It was worth buying and watching because it really brought out street survival. Although I didn't like the ending, because it left you wondering?

I didn't buy this movie, but I have watched it before in the past. I couldn't find it anywhere and glad that I stumbled across it here. I love this movie, I thought it was a great film and the music was on point. Well put together and will touch you in more ways than one.
