Damn. That's a pretty good film. That Bones dude narrating was in Training Day which, of course, was directed by Fuqua. I remember on the DVD he talks about shooting some of the film in Blood neighborhoods. I'm gonna pick this up on DVD at some point.

One of the best documentaries on the topic.

Some others include Gangsta King, discussing the rise of Raymond Lee Washington, and Why We Bang, although both are somewhat low budget and don't really go into too much detail as Bastards of the Party.

There's also the made for TV film Redemption, check that out as well if you're interested in Stanley Tookie Williams.

Yeah I see what you're saying. It must of been hard to find anybody of the same physical stature as STW. I watch it from time to time, mostly for this one track they were playing from a car in one of the scenes. The chorus went "West Side, East Side, North Side, South Side" with a Talkbox laced G-Funk beat.

Can't find it on eBay, record shops or Blogs and am still looking for that track to date!
