Trick Daddy - Straight From The Projects DVD

Straight from the Projects is a series about rappers returning to the gritty streets where they grew up. Rappers show you where it all went down in their hoods - from day one. You'll visit the legendary places that inspired the music and you'll understand what the lyrics are all about. No sugar-coating, no Hollywood sets, no scripts, just the real on-the-streets action as it unfolds with one hand-held camera capturing the guns, drugs, and violence that are part of everyday life. Trick Daddy's music is all about where he grew up: in the pork and beans projects, one of the toughest projects in Miami. This is the flip-side of the Big Easy... not Miami Beach, not South Beach, just the mean streets where poverty, drug abuse, and violence are epidemic. See his neighborhood uncensored: talking with his pops... lifestyle of thugs... as well as the warmth and love so vital to the neighborhood's survival and its hope for the future. You'll also be hanging out with Trick Daddy goi

Trick Daddy's aggressive lyrics had to come from somewhere. This edition of STRAIGHT FROM THE PROJECTS shows viewers exactly where that place is and what it's all about as the rapper revisits his hometown--the rough and dangerous Pork and Beans projects of Miami--and expounds on the thug life that drives his work. It's not all about crimes and misdemeanors, though; watch as Trick chats with his father and the love pervading the entire community shines through. STRAIGHT FROM THE PROJECTS is a unique series dedicated to highlighting the personal inspirations of some of the most interesting rap artists in the game, via trips to their old neighborhoods and down memory lane.
