I respect Ebro for this interview. .. he understands the vision, he's actually apart of it. However, he allow these young men to explain and express thier intentions of this project. I can't be believe It, he actually shut his fucking face and allowed these men to talk. It shows that he actually cares about the support rather than making this interview all about the way he feels... hats off sir.
You right but be for real, even if he wasn't he know these are not the guys to be hushing and over talkin. Can you imagine if you angered Mo? Mild mannered cats are the worst to piss off.
HBO is really in particular about thier shows, in fact...it'll be a whole new show. If so....Most likely deffinetly the intended effect.. more entertaining, less motivational.
If HBO gets it they're definitely getting rid of all the cast maybe keep the main dude because he seems smart enough to get better at acting but make it a smaller role.
Its all about What's negotiated if HBO picks it up that can't just take it over unless dude give them complete control which be stupid business is all about negotiations
I watched the whole season in 2 days - crack. I fully support these guys. Making big moves and putting their neighbourhood on. The acting may not always be A1 but the authenticity makes up for it. Salute!
Money & Violence is a great web series! Support these guys. We have to help them get to the next level. It's good that they are doing what their doing. It's inspiration.
The director is extremely educated and articulate in his responses. The rest of the crew, not so much. Maybe they should leave the press to him.Just a thought. I will check out the show though.
you have to take into consideration .. that they AREN'T actors, they are reality .. the true depiction of the hood .. maybe if you don't like the fact of the lack of education and articulation, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ... to help the youth .. don't complain about it if you aren't helping to fix the issue
Did Ebro just plug the fact that he jumped on the show coz "it's the hottest thing in the hood right now". then question these dudes motives?. LOL EBRO.
I sincerely hope they successfully spread throughout the web. I'm all for their story I watch all the series to date in two days when i caught wind of them. Keep doing it!
i can definitely see the positive message and lessons behind the story , a well thought out drama. peace and love to flatbush, allways- great work for your 1st tryout
I just hope they take a few classes and get better equipment because I honestly think if a company tries to dip their hands into this, the show is gonna get fucked up.
i can wait,cause thats when it gets watered down..real talk..screw tha amature acting & focus on how real the story line is..i hate big budget projects, because then everybody has their own adenda with it..just look at the rappers in the industry, most of them had way more realness before they signed they life away..feelme?
I personally love the series I love the fact that its so relatable and real the characters are all naturals through it all there is still messages n knowledge that is being dropped through out the series keep doing your thing guys you found away to get money in such a realistic way I will stay n be in tuned you have my support last thing I've seen people like master p with money make the most low budget silly ass movies ever this series is on another plateau 😎💯💯💯
Motivation is well spoken. Most times it is not the message that jams people up. It is the the person giving the message. If he keeps up the work people will listen.
All of the male characters were well played but Ebro's scene with Rafe (Moetivation) is some of the best acting in the in the first season. Well done...
I like the acting. And I think that people get scared when they see real urban behavior on camera, whether its urban in a white, latino, asian, or black context, people get uncomfortable with the real life of real americans in inner cities because they know NOTHING about it, thats the News' fault there. I believe that this type of misunderstanding of a person's acting is the reason that only Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard, Morgan Freeman, and Samuel Jackson ever get leading roles in movies now. If I was wrong, Mekhi Phifer would be way more famous than Marky Mark and Liam Neeson. Swear to doG, I wrote Mekhi Phifer one minute before he mentioned ER, thats not my fault.
I love that Ebro challenges people & doesn't just take the regular route with standard questions. He really do this for the culture unlike Leon! Lol Good, solid, interview! And I'm glad Mote ain't one of these people that's delusional about their product! He acknowledged that acting ain't their strong point cuz they ain't actors. They really talk how they are! I thought Miz was terrible but he really do talk like that lol This is a positive thing but I wanna see them get they paper up so they can do even better! Longer episodes, more of the message!
show is dope and i was pissed when i had watched all the episodes. I love the authenticity and the storyline is amazing. The acting is good because you develop bonds with the characters and you even get tight behind certain characters such as Tai and Shay. Much love to the cast and keep doing what you are doing.
I had like 3 problems with the show: Jamaicans need subtitles. The robbery on Shane was a bit unreal to me cause he was left with his gold watch and I-Phone. Sometimes they be filming and shadows of the camera/mic crew is visible in shadows or reflections of glasses. But overall a real good show with good stories, I just feel like the dude who plays Damon a.k.a Chopper should've been more in it since I think he acted his part good and believable.
I respect it their show is pure reality. This is really what the youth of my neighborhood are going through this is the reality of inner city jungles and circumstance. This is what the kids see in real life REGARDLESS at least his show has a message. So I don't understand why some of you want them to be so politically correct when life isnt PC. Atleast with this show he has the oppurtunity to build dynamic characters that evolve out of this life or eventually find another path etc. Thats why telling our story is so important
UM YEA THESE DUDES JUS TOOK INDIE FILM ROUTE TO A WHOE NOTHER LEVEL, GOT ME FEELIN LIKE WHEN THE MIX TAPE N MIX DVD GAME WAS POPPIN IN 02-07 ... anybody thats watching n wanna create a whole sub culture to this indie film thing... these dudes is pioneering take notes. theres an ulimited supply of non mainstream actors actresses, so many programs tutorials that can get the ball jumping, watching n anaylyzing this show stirred me with many thoughts on how to take things from idea n dream to actual reality, pay attention people youre getting step by step moves on how to break into this industry
Humble beginnings with the cast but kno shit goin change when money change. But real shit always soar plz dont like them put the water to it. Im already looking for season 3. Great to see black creative minds working for the good bc its so many of us and u letting them kno its more avenues to travel then killing drugs & jail for us. Keep pushing great job guys
yo i respect these guys and get their reason behind the title of the series. like they call it money and violence because that's what capitalism is and if they had called if capitalism how many people would have really paid attention too it ? none. i respect what it stands for and the allegory that it shows in each episode. this is their way of trying show and educate the youth and society that this is what happens in the hood and its not what they are proud of but its what they have to do to survive and the same can be said for rap music. they are sharing their stories to educate the masses that this is what happens in the real streets and u shouldn't try to do this unless no other choice . basically a satire with out the jokes instead with reality( if you know what i mean) love the work, keep it coming i am now a fan !
I'm all in. The acting and editing isn't great but you totally get engaged in the story and none of that even matters. Great characters and story lines make up for anything they are lacking. The duality of the message is something to be spoken for too. They out there doing dirt but there are 2 messages in each episode, one advising young men this life aint for everyone, and one message of how to at least stay alive and free for the hard head thundercats who are going to do what they are going to do.
If what yall doing is a success the more negatives critics say is just a blessing of how much of a true success it really is. I love shows like SOA violance, sex all thee above but I don't believe that biker show will get the scrutiny yall will get. At the end of the day the image yall have and the message yall are trying to portray do not concede with today's society but the efforts to continue the positive message is the true testimony of the victory that yall can recieve.
i hope they dont sell this to any big company. ofcourse, i would make deals for money to get better equipment and more bodies, but keep making it all myself. people might be missing that it is the rawness of the production that make the real life story feel even realer. the rawness of acting, sound, and edits.
I was watching this interview late at night and fell asleep ,not because I was bored but just tired, Anyhow them gunshots were hella loud lol .Woke my ass straight the fuck up lmfao .They need to fix the audio for them gunshots ,they're OP compared to the rest of the audio .
City Of God had zillions of death, but you didn't come out of this film thinking it glamorized drug and violence. It was more an excellent illustration of the crumbling down of a community.
Yo how is anybody hating on deh yuts doing production. .iam pushin it all the way in BMORE.. #reality relate stop dis hate a story of reality intertwined
Shouts to the whole Money & Violence team! Great storyline, don't even remotely listen to Ebro. He always want to see positivity and all that other shyt...but, what is he doing to advance us...positively? Thot 97, promotes negative music all day every day. Fuggouta hurr!
Rafe is true--eventhough it has money and violence it is very informative--in other words it teaches u the streets --- actually this can save lives--real talk
10:49 Ebro brings up a good point about non Blacks being enamored and infatuated with the image of Blacks as being violent and from the ghetto. 28:03 Having a better education or a degree doesn't mean you have 5 friends willing to hold you down, nor does it mean you can do anything. It means if you are willing to exploit the traditional route for Black excellence or achievement (entertainment via film, sports, music) and portray an image of Blacks that is palatable to the public, that there is a lane for you. Making it in rap, music, or hood movies is not proof that you can do anything you put your mind to, it's proof that you can make it in rap, music, or hood movies.
I respect Ebro for this interview. .. he understands the vision, he's actually apart of it. However, he allow these young men to explain and express thier intentions of this project.

Sooo true about mild manner guys ^^^ lol
Your opinion kinda states that you may be looking at Ebro in a certain way .
Great writing. I predict that an HBO, etc will be offering big money to these guys for their show. Good luck and God Bless.
Netflix
HBO is really in particular about thier shows, in fact...it'll be a whole new show. If so....Most likely deffinetly the intended effect.. more entertaining, less motivational.
If HBO gets it they're definitely getting rid of all the cast maybe keep the main dude because he seems smart enough to get better at acting but make it a smaller role.
they're better getting picked up by Netflix to keep it an original series
Its all about What's negotiated if HBO picks it up that can't just take it over unless dude give them complete control which be stupid business is all about negotiations
I watched the whole season in 2 days - crack. I fully support these guys. Making big moves and putting their neighbourhood on. The acting may not always be A1 but the authenticity makes up for it. Salute!

***** ppl always want to talk negative instead of help make things a problem
Money and Violence is flames I just binge watched it. It's classic material
Hot97 you all are wrong for only showing clips of the violence and not a scene of the jewels the get dropped in the show
exactly. 97 tryna stress the "violence"
thank you
Did Ebro just plug the fact that he jumped on the show coz "it's the hottest thing in the hood right now". then question these dudes motives?.
LOL EBRO.
Yo, you guys did a awesome job and the acting got better with every episode. Please don't stop...fan fo life !
I sincerely hope they successfully spread throughout the web. I'm all for their story I watch all the series to date in two days when i caught wind of them. Keep doing it!
Shout out to Rafe/motivation got mad respect for you and your crew keep doing what you're doing man much respect...
Brooklyn what up...
Rafe ALWAYS drops knowledge, love his subliminal statements.
yall niggaz duin yall thing n im proud to see young hood niggaz evolving n making the best outta this cold cold world keep up the good work guys !!!!
i can definitely see the positive message and lessons behind the story , a well thought out drama. peace and love to flatbush, allways- great work for your 1st tryout
This hot 97 morning crew never lived in the hood
Just started watching the show today, it's not bad. Can't wait to see what it will look like with some big money behind it.
I just hope they take a few classes and get better equipment because I honestly think if a company tries to dip their hands into this, the show is gonna get fucked up.
***** definitely. wat makes it soo great is the rawness
***** official, or atleast they put it on the internet so we can keep it griity cause television can't handle this
i can wait,cause thats when it gets watered down..real talk..screw tha amature acting & focus on how real the story line is..i hate big budget projects, because then everybody has their own adenda with it..just look at the rappers in the industry, most of them had way more realness before they signed they life away..feelme?
Facts u speak industry = death of culture
Rosenbitch : "Amber called"
I absolutely just got hip literally a few hours ago and I'm hooked and done really looking forward to the next season
Call Me Choppa!!!!
Smart dudes.. KINGS. SALUTE
I personally love the series I love the fact that its so relatable and real the characters are all naturals through it all there is still messages n knowledge that is being dropped through out the series keep doing your thing guys you found away to get money in such a realistic way I will stay n be in tuned you have my support last thing I've seen people like master p with money make the most low budget silly ass movies ever this series is on another plateau 😎💯💯💯
I just watched this shit in one day b!
Yea most of us did
Aaron Ramsey I did to.
I am really digging these episodes its hot love from Jamaica keep up the good job
THANK YOU HOT 97 FOR THIS #MoneyAndViolence INTERVIEW! I JUST WATCHES EPISODE 1-23 NONSTOP. GREAT SHOW! REALITY.
Motivation is well spoken. Most times it is not the message that jams people up. It is the the person giving the message. If he keeps up the work people will listen.

I believe that this type of misunderstanding of a person's acting is the reason that only Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard, Morgan Freeman, and Samuel Jackson ever get leading roles in movies now. If I was wrong, Mekhi Phifer would be way more famous than Marky Mark and Liam Neeson. Swear to doG, I wrote Mekhi Phifer one minute before he mentioned ER, thats not my fault.
i love this show
PHOENIX loves Money & Violence. Respect ya jaw.....much love and respect.
Despite the title there's plenty of gems in the story line.
I love that Ebro challenges people & doesn't just take the regular route with standard questions. He really do this for the culture unlike Leon! Lol Good, solid, interview! And I'm glad Mote ain't one of these people that's delusional about their product! He acknowledged that acting ain't their strong point cuz they ain't actors. They really talk how they are! I thought Miz was terrible but he really do talk like that lol This is a positive thing but I wanna see them get they paper up so they can do even better! Longer episodes, more of the message!
Dbz is the best show
Bangbros the best porn!
002brooklyn nah, Brazzers my n*gga ...
Chris Sheppard round and brown
show is dope and i was pissed when i had watched all the episodes. I love the authenticity and the storyline is amazing. The acting is good because you develop bonds with the characters and you even get tight behind certain characters such as Tai and Shay. Much love to the cast and keep doing what you are doing.
you have to respect their hustle
I had like 3 problems with the show:
Jamaicans need subtitles.
The robbery on Shane was a bit unreal to me cause he was left with his gold watch and I-Phone.
Sometimes they be filming and shadows of the camera/mic crew is visible in shadows or reflections of glasses.
But overall a real good show with good stories, I just feel like the dude who plays Damon a.k.a Chopper should've been more in it since I think he acted his part good and believable.
Hell yeah Choppa my guy
I respect it their show is pure reality. This is really what the youth of my neighborhood are going through this is the reality of inner city jungles and circumstance.

UM YEA THESE DUDES JUS TOOK INDIE FILM ROUTE TO A WHOE NOTHER LEVEL, GOT ME FEELIN LIKE WHEN THE MIX TAPE N MIX DVD GAME WAS POPPIN IN 02-07 ... anybody thats watching n wanna create a whole sub culture to this indie film thing... these dudes is pioneering take notes. theres an ulimited supply of non mainstream actors actresses, so many programs tutorials that can get the ball jumping, watching n anaylyzing this show stirred me with many thoughts on how to take things from idea n dream to actual reality, pay attention people youre getting step by step moves on how to break into this industry
I wish Ebro asked what their business model was.... how are they making money from this webseries?
Rosenberg trying hard to be the rebound nikka in Ambers life. his wifey gone put him in timeout real quick
I don't think it bothers her because his wifey knows damn well Rosenberg ain't never gonna get that pussy lol
Ok I've watched 3 interviews and still no "Mister"... He provided some good comic relief throughout the series. "OH!!! Imma break yo f'kin JAW!"
yes! comic relief.
respect for you guys, yah doing a great job
the scene between ebro and raif on M&V was excellent man....
Humble beginnings with the cast but kno shit goin change when money change. But real shit always soar plz dont like them put the water to it. Im already looking for season 3. Great to see black creative minds working for the good bc its so many of us and u letting them kno its more avenues to travel then killing drugs & jail for us. Keep pushing great job guys

The scene with Ebro and Rafe is deep!
This guy Motivation is a beast, he's gonna be a very rich man soon.
Love these guys hussle ... Just learned about this yesterday.
I think you guys done an amazing job, i'm a UK fan
The guy that was the frontman in this interview is very well spoken.
i hope they dont sell this to any big company. ofcourse, i would make deals for money to get better equipment and more bodies, but keep making it all myself. people might be missing that it is the rawness of the production that make the real life story feel even realer. the rawness of acting, sound, and edits.
This is a great show, I can't wait to see this on HBO as a series like the Wire.
This is inspiring to hoods all across the US. Even the world since internet is universal cept for some countries.
New fan. Thanks to this interview

Tai is my favorite..I'd like to hear more of him
I was watching this interview late at night and fell asleep ,not because I was bored but just tired, Anyhow them gunshots were hella loud lol .Woke my ass straight the fuck up lmfao .They need to fix the audio for them gunshots ,they're OP compared to the rest of the audio .
I NEED TO SEE SEASON 1 ASAP!!!
City Of God had zillions of death, but you didn't come out of this film thinking it glamorized drug and violence. It was more an excellent illustration of the crumbling down of a community.
What's the song at the end tho? Shits tuff.
I love this come up story!
love the show and i just started watching it yesterday
Love show I'm so Brooklyn!!!!!
Money and Violence I love everything you guys are doing... I feel like I get the messeage, more less I love the show...
They couldn't give these guys all chairs? My feet were hurting watching. Bad hospitality. Just a sign why Hot 97 sucks.
That barman song is a hit, they should make a music video for that. That song would cross over world wide especially Jamaica n uk.
Y'all dope keep up the good work we fucking with y'all out here in the bay area Cali my nigga
Not everyone you grow up is your friend.
One of the most important things I've ever heard. I too wish I heard it earlier.
Why is season 1 blocked? I want to get into it but they are cutting off their own momentum by blocking the vids
I agree i have no beef with the content. People love to watch thhis type of stuff., People need to be real about the situation.
They Omar Epps, they In Too DEEEEEP!!
I love this show salute to these dudes they did this shit off the muscle salute
Very interesting. Im going to check this out

10:49
Ebro brings up a good point about non Blacks being enamored and infatuated with the image of Blacks as being violent and from the ghetto. 28:03 Having a better education or a degree doesn't mean you have 5 friends willing to hold you down, nor does it mean you can do anything.

They did an awesome job!!! As blacks do we the best at anything, creators of every sport (fact) & majority all inventions. #respect
