Hip Hop fans were abuzz last night as Vh1 premiered their original movie The Breaks. The film is set in New York City and shines a light on Hip Hop in 1990, before the music and culture took over mainstream America. While many viewers were delighted with the flick, which stars Mack Wilds, Wood Harris and more, famed record executive and entrepreneur Irv Gotti was not at all pleased.
The Murder Inc head honcho took to his Instagram account and blasted the film, accusing it of not accurately portraying Hip Hop and making his home borough of Queens look “soft.”
Read his full statement below.
Watching this Breaks Sh*t on Vh1. 1st off I didn’t like the commercials they was running playing the Bridge is Over and the part where KRS says Queens Keeps on Faking it!! So now when I’m watching this watered down bullsh*t which is pissing me off cause they are not portraying Hip Hop Culture accurately!! But they still making my Borough look soft. Let me tell y’all something. I’m from that Purple Part in the pic I posted. And listen. Ain’t nothing weak or soft about QB. And not only that @Vh1. QB has produced more superstar Rappers in hip hop than any other borough or place in the world for that matter. Sh*t looks like someone who doesn’t know sh*t about our culture made this sh*t. And usually I would have kept quiet. But after the commercial and me watching this bullsh*t sh*t on my Borough. I had to post something. And to all my Hip Hop Culture people out there. That wants to see REAL depiction of OUR CULTURE. Sit tight. I’m on my way!! And I’m not a hater. At all. None of that is in my DNA. I love to see ni**as win. But your not gonna disrespect QB.
