But I feel fine about a film capturing accurately the perspective of Luke or JT Money. I do wish it was balanced out by an equally good movie from the perspective of Mia X or Cheeky Blakk. Or like 5 other films. <BR/><BR/>I don't think doing interesting or quality work is what kid slizzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138284284133762519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288684011404647943.post-71964278863594333432009-01-20T13:27:00.000-08:002009-01-20T13:27:00.000-08:00I just think that, in reality, the gender roles an...I just think that, in reality, the gender roles and relationships in the culture that is the subject of this film (southern rapp)are a lot more complicated and nuanced than the film lets on. Yes, strippers and strip clubs are a big part of the scene, but this is not the only way in which women participate... which is a fact that I'm not sure comes through in the film.

Its an "emic" account, culture-specific. Its an outside observer's role to criticize those representations.<BR/><BR/>I'd be happy to see more "emic" & "etic" films on explicit rap in the future.
