Loyalty and Respect (2006) starring Quanie Cash and Young Buck
Rapper Quanie Cash wrote, directed, and starred in this movie about drug trafficking in "Cashville" Tennesse. Young Buck has a cameo, but it's more of a "special appearance" than a role in the movie.
Choices (2001) starring Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, and La Chat
Choices was shot in Memphis Ten-a-key, the home of the Three 6 Mafia and affiliates, and is about an ex-convict who is trying to get his life back on track. He has to resist the temptations of drugs, dirty money, and strippers. Project Pat has some real acting chops.
Shottas (2002) starring Kymani Marley and Spragga Benz
We first saw this movie as an unfinished bootleg cut. The Jamaican crime movie, set in both Kingston and Miami, was a classic before it was even officially released. This was all thanks to the true lovers and pioneers of cinema distribution: bootleggers.
Tha Eastsidaz starring Snoop Dogg, Tray Deee, and Goldie Loc
In this Long Beach story of revenge, Snoop plays "Killa Pop" alongside fellow rappers Tray Dee and Goldie Loc who play Crackle and Snap. They're the Rice Krispy G's. Yeah, it's that bad. Snoop is unapologetic and persistent when it comes to his film endeavors, though. Take a look at his filmography.
