Big Boi never used a script in ATL, all improv

It shows. He had a few cold lines though.

He was still very entertaining.

 

[400Degreez]

Is that little big brother? Lol.
He played that character perfectly and it's the best character out of the whole movie.

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

He was the only thing watchable about that movie IIRC so it makes sense

Dope stuff

 

[The Lonious Monk]

lol This isn't that surprising. That movie was trash. Big Boi just went in there and was himself.

 

[Stomp Johnson]

One of the greater ironies in hip hop imo. 3 Stacks fell outta love with the hip hop limelight and at one point wanted a career in films, but yet Big Boi is a way better/natural actor.

 

[Lou Cypher]

definitely seemed that way

 

[King Freeman]

Lol. Movie was trash. We giving him credit for being unprepared and unprofessional? Lmao. Foh. Raise the bar.

He wasn't unprepared or unprofessional though. It's not like Big had a script and just didn't read it. They literally didn't have scripted lines for him. The director brought him in and told him "Do ya thang." Big ain't an actor, so him being able to do what he did is somewhat impressive.

But yeah, who the fuck makes a movie and gets a rapper to just freestyle an important role?

If there isn't already a thread on it, somebody start the thread.

Lmao this is funny considering I was listening to the cinephobe pod yesterday and they were talking about takers that ep

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Atl was good for what it was

I still watch it when it comes on

 

[AP2.5]

i smell an overrated thread in the making

 

[Disanthrope]

"You done hit me in the face with some goddam money"

 

[Race Jones]

just because you were 38 when it dropped, doesnt make it trash ??

 

[Race Jones]

some of yall were old asf when it dropped so your opinion doesnt count
