I think the movie is very similar to Boyz in the Hood. That movie also got a lot of bad press about glorifying gangster life and violence in general when in reality it vilified it.
Like Boyz in the Hood, Get Rich or Die Tryin is probably not a good fit for an older or very social conservative crowd. There is a lot of profanity and some senseless violence but that is pretty much the point the movie is trying to get across - the profanity is part of the culture and violence is indeed senseless.
It's a lot like Richard Pryor when we were growing up; people were so busy griping about the words he used that they missed what he was saying; turns out he was mostly right.
I still laugh every time I think about Tommy Davidson in Booty Call, wrapped in all that saran wrap.
Have you ever seen Hollywood Shuffle?
Hip hop s-cks and the folks who produce it and listen to it are degenerate who are polluting our culture. In a sane world, folks like Fitty would be quartered at dawn.
