    This week's special guest ‪@TonyBakercomedy‬
    Paid in Full is a 2002 American crime drama film directed by Charles Stone III. The characters Ace (Wood Harris), Mitch (Mekhi Phifer), and Rico (Cam'ron), are fictionally based on the 1980s Harlem drug dealers Azie "AZ" Faison, Rich Porter, and Alpo Martinez. The title of the film is borrowed from the 1987 album and song by Eric B. & Rakim.
    In the late 1980s, Ace (Wood Harris) is a young man employed by a Harlem dry cleaning shop, working hard to stay out of the drug business. While making deliveries, he meets Lulu (Esai Morales), a drug dealer who convinces Ace to join him. Ace recruits his friends Mitch (Mekhi Phifer) and Rico (Cam'ron), and the trio become major players in the Harlem drug underworld, a violent business that will test the friends' loyalty and wits as the money rolls in and the dangers grow beyond their control.BlackBusters is a podcast focused on reviewing, celebrating, re-living and critiquing Black film. From the movies we all know and love to those hidden gems, there is no movie too big or small to be praised or roasted.
    Join our hosts Director/Comedian/Actor ‪@biggjah‬ and movie/podcast connoisseur Tony Price as they explore the legacy, impact and influence of Black cinema.

    Wood Harris is versatile and I believe underrated. I been seeing him in believable roles starting with the gangsta in Above the Rim, a football player in Remember the Titans, drug kingpin in the Wire, a lawyer in some other small time film, Gooch in Next Day Air and some more projects. Dude is a beast. (Bokeem Woodbine is another underrated actor too)

    Mitch was living in a room with his brother in that scene cuz that was his high school years…he went to jail in ‘84 and he was only 18/19 and that’s midway in the movie…also in the movie, Mitch had ppl selling for him(Remember the part he pulled up to collect money and dude said he was robbed and he told him he can’t sell unless he find that man)

    I don’t feel like it was a hard switch for Pac. Notice that he looked up to the man going out in a blaze of glory, and how he was frustrated running from everyone. He was even willing to rob with Blizzard. It was always in him, the gun just gave him the power he always wanted. Even in his speech, he said, “He ain’t shit” also demonstrated his power by saying, “As soon I decide you ain’t shit, POW.”
