      @1:06 that's noble. Hopefully, he had enough presence-of-mind to hug the young actress too; the one that played you, Roxanne Shante`. She's the one that he *actually* manhandled on the set.
      just-a-thought.

      Shawty Lo right, she made me think she's really was stupid and bitter😂 stupid for having that much faith in that man with the money. And mad bitter towards man's because she don't pick them right but going make it like they all ain't shit. Anywho Nia did that.

    Ms. Long was INCREDIBLE! Mr. Ali was GREAT! How do I know? Because I hated them -- HATED them both -- in this film. That's how well they played those roles. I don't know why some people complained that the film didn't have enough music ... it was a wonderful merger of her music and her personal story. Great job.

    • @myhextixmind8632
      @myhextixmind8632 6 років тому +8

      Yeah. I hated Ali in this film. I didn't hate Nia but only because I didn't view her as mean or anything like that. I can see why she would be seen that way, but I saw how deep her pain ran. She was extremely hurt and depressed it seemed and it came out bitter. It was hard for me to hate her mom for that. I hated Cross' nasty ass..
