Infamous Times Presents The Original 50 Cent

Running 120 minutes, the main feature of this landmark series tells the true story of Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin, a cold-blooded crook who, armed with an arsenal of weapons, robbed, killed and extorted many of Brooklyn’s biggest hustlers at the height of New York’s brutal crack cocaine epidemic and from whom the multi-platinum rap superstar, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, borrowed his moniker. This is the true story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap.

Hosted by venerated columnist, actor and convicted felon, Bonz Malone, the subject matter echoes the insight, candid perspective and journalistic intensity of esteemed investigative programs like Dateline NBC and 20/20. Likewise, The Infamous Times™ is poised to be one of the preeminent urban DVD series of the decade, revolutionizing the genre with its blend of in depth coverage accompanied by a hard-driving soundtrack. Superbly helmed by pioneering video director, Froi Cuesta and the brainchild of acclaimed music impresario, Jimmy Henchmen, along with entertainment industry veterans, Tone Boots and Griff, the series aims to enlighten “at-risk” youth on the hazards of street life as it contrasts the glamorization of criminal behavior that is all too common in rap music and mainstream film and television nowadays.

“We’re taking them all to task…politicians, parents, the young generation,” says series co-creator Tone Boots, who is also the Producer of MTV’s Direct Effect. “This story is very dear and close to me because I knew the original Fifty-Cent,” adds Jimmy Henchmen, the project’s Executive Producer and manager of platinum recording artists such as The Game (Aftermath/G-Unit), Mario Winans (Bad Boy) and Black Rob (Bad Boy). “I’m honored to tell a story like this that influenced the biggest name in rap as we know it today.”

Ghostride The Whip - The Hyphy Movement 2008

GHOSTRIDE THE WHIP - The Hyphy Movement When witnessed out of context, the visual of someone, or indeed several people walking beside, or dancing on the hood of a moving vehicle with no one behind the wheel is likely to leave you scratching your head. Add to that the often unintelligible slang that the Yay's (Bay) indigenous 'hyphy' movement is famous for; where phrases like 'get dumb', 'go stupid' or 'thizzing' are part of everyday life and you may indeed have the feeling there must be something in the water in Northern California and scratch it off of your vacation spot wish list. Written and directed by DJ Vlad (Hot in Here DVD series, H20 Hip Hop On Demand), produced by Academy/Emmy-nominated Peter Spirer and narrated by none other than Sway Calloway of MTV and the Bay-originated The Wake-Up Show fame, Ghostride the Whip takes you on a journey through the underbelly of the hyphy movement and it's origins, with the help of Bay area rappers like E-40, Keak Da Sneak, MC Hammer, Messy Marv, Mistah FAB and many others. Using the life-stories of Bay area rap legend and cult figure, Mac Dre and his infamous Romper Room Gang as a centerpiece, Ghostride the Whip tells the story of the evolution of the hyphy movement; from it's roots in the migration of the South's black population North in search of a better life, to the poverty and police brutality they found instead. From the rise of the Black Panther Party to the life, career and sudden, tragic shooting death of Mac Dre, the mentality behind the hyphy movement and the cultural legacy Mac Dre left behind is explained by those who witnessed it and those who live it - the slang, the clothes, ghostriding, turf dancing, side shows, cannabis clubs, thizzing - the works; all set to the backdrop of the music that spawned it all. - RUN TIME: 83 minutes + bonus features - FORMAT: Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Widescreen, NTSC - STUDIO: Image Entertainment DESCRIPTION FROM THE PRODUCER: From acclaimed producer/director Peter Spirer (Rhyme & Reason Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel BEEF 1-3) comes the first film to ever capture the energy and danger of hyphy the Hip Hop youth movement exploding out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Experience pure "hyphy" the state of mind celebrated in the music fashion slang and dance of this culture that popularized ghostriding the whip - walking running or dancing next to a moving car. With music by top Bay Area Hip Hop artists Mac Dre E-40 Keak the Sneak the Federation and more GHOSTRIDE THE WHIP is about more than the street parties and sideshows of hyphy: "It's not just a word or a song... it's how we live out there."
