Gangrestresses

OMG! OR maybe I shouldnt say that. I agree with another member Tony Lewis ..if it would have been about hoes then yeah...it was great...I think it started off in the right direction but somewhere along the way the camera man kinda got sidetracked and it turned into straight porn. How to make a porn movie and "Champagne" and all her glasses...whatever..became the focus. It was hilarious. It became a documentary about the life a a shake dancer. The only true down Gangstress up in there was Shaka Don. Why didnt he just feature her and the taxi cab trick. They were gangstresses. By going after them he could have hooked himself up with a lot other true Gangstresses. Next time just do Shaka Don Gangstresses at Large! November 26, 2005

Gives a picture of how females operate

This video shows how females operate in the drug game. It also shows how hookers and female adult entertainers earn their bread. Mary J. Blige and Lil' Kim have cameos in this video. So does Az, Tupac Shakur, and Russell Simmons. While Mary makes the claim that she is a gangstress, she is in a different league. May 11, 2002

Definately worth seeing.

I was entertained by this video - It gave a glimpse into the gangsta gal world and the problems they face being in a man's World. They didn't seem to have any love for guys in general. Mary J is in it too - she calls herself a gangstress - hmmm... ok Mary - whatever :o) January 14, 2002

Fairly interesting, BUT....

...this film should have actually been called "Hoes", because that's what most of the women in this film can be perceived to be. There was only one girl in this film whom I'd actually label a "Gangstress" (the blonde with the gun and the fur coat). Maybe if this were called "Hoes", I might be able to rate it higher.

If the price is right for you, it might be worth a look. I got mine for free, so the price was definitely right. December 26, 2001

set it off the real version

this is bad, shows what women must do in order to survive in the streets, also lets us know as black people are at in these days, and times, reality, there are few black men these days, so the woman has to step forth and be the boss, shows how women are mistreated by black men-like when dude came in and beat that woman and the bruises were shown, or when dude got mad-and shot his girlfriend, this is the reason why so many black women are hating black men, whites want to see us kill each other, see our men in jail, and our women sell our souls on the streets- these women have become prostitutes, drug dealers, drug users, porn stars, thieves, hell anything to get by-i can tell champagne did'nt really enjoy the porn industry-makes you think is the money worth all that, this is urban drama-that tells us all as black people that we should wake up, or others like myself get another message that we cannot be saved-and wer'e all headed for doom.
