This is going to be a disaster.
well if it is, at least nobody will see it with it being on Hulu
''Dennis “D-Love” Coles is a loving kid who would do anything to protect his friends and family. When he’s not taking care of his two younger brothers while his mom drinks herself to sleep, Dennis serves as the right-hand man to Bobby’s older brother Divine in their increasingly competitive drug dealing business based out of the Stapleton area.''
Ghost casting is odd, but RZA I can see
Those character descriptions are very interesting. Can't wait for the next announcements. Hope this gon be good.
The charCte sy opsis gives me hope well see the story of the wu thats never really been told
Aka how the stapleton/park hill crews came together as well as show the alluded to beef between power/rae and divine/ghost and how rza brought em together.
Looks promising.
Does the character 'Sha Rader', represent an amalgamation of 'Rader Ruckus' and 'Killa Sha'?
Can't wait to see who they cast as Rusty Jones.
I'm also secretly hoping they cast Islord as himself.
It's about time that the Chuck Norris of the Wuniverse appears on the screen.
I just saw islord at the TCU basketball game, he ran onto the court when the soldiers were tributing the flag, he look confused, must've thought they were killarmy from the fatigues
^^ahahahaha
Choppin his way up the billboards! The top-notch.
Soon to be an Emmy winner for his scene-stealing guest star performance in Wu Tang: American Saga
Thats Islord right

That props truck is great!
Dave East to play Method Man.
https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.50522/t...n-drama-series
Dave East has the height and beard. Def has the right look.
IMDB says East is playing someone called "Shotgun".
Lol. I think that's them mishearing Shaquan.
Ha, Big P#ssy from the Sopranos has been added. Maybe he will play Isord? Peace
Joey Bada$$ has been cast as Inspectah Deck
starts at 17:25
When I saw RZa was one of the producers, I knew this was going to be a fucking dud. Niggas can't do their own biopics because they won't be honest about themselves. Especially someone as visibly deluded as Rza. It's going to be a self-promotion campaign and they won't report the interesting shit like being hooked on dust and steal ppls money. They'll also cast for looks and not ability. Dave East has never acted in his life, I really doubt he can handle someone as particular as method man.
very lame.
I hope they prove me wrong. If they blow this they've blown it for the next 20 years.
Also, if they're casting for looks (which they are) then lil yatchy not being deck is nothing but politics

Yatchy is basically an alternate universe Deck that gets 'winded' in PE. JB Smoov should be oldhead deck

oh ok bet lol. This is good newsQuote:

Spring Grove actor plays Ghostface Killah's brother with Muscular Dystrophy
All smiles and laughs — that's usually what fills the room once he's a few seconds into his Kevin Hart impersonation.
Sam McKoy-Johnson is more than the characters he depicts in person or on his YouTube channel, though. The 20-year-old Spring Grove resident is an actor — a near lifelong pursuit and dream not many people know about.
Aside from the bubbly, camera-ready personality, McKoy-Johnson is different than most actors. He's been auditioning for more than half of his life, and he has brittle bone disease.
Brittle bone disease, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta, "is a lifelong genetic disorder that causes your bones to break very easily, usually without any type of injury, as from a fall," according to WebMd.
Because of this diagnosis, McKoy-Johnson has had many surgeries, and he gets around by an electric chair or wheelchair. For some time, his dreams of acting had to be put on pause. And, even when he returned to auditioning, he faced a lot of rejection.
The show, set to premiere in September 2019, is a biographical series following the rise of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. McKoy-Johnson auditioned for the role of Darius Coles, Ghostface Killah's younger brother who has muscular dystrophy.
McKoy-Johnson said he watched countless videos in order to get the mannerism and demeanor accurately, so he could be authentic for those who actually have the disease.
Unlike most auditions, he wasn't constantly thinking about whether or not he got the role because of an empty void at home. The family dog, Tracy, died shortly after the audition, so much of his energy was spent combating grief.
But, when he unexpectedly got the good news about the role, he could hardly believe it.
“It was a complete shock to me because I’ve always been turned down,” he said.
McKoy-Johnson hopes when people realize that he isn't just depicting someone in a wheelchair, but that it's part of his everyday life, more aspiring actors with disabilities will feel represented. And, maybe producers will be more willing to cast them when they audition.
"If you need a wheelchair role, put a person with a real wheelchair in the role," McKoy-Johnson said. It's a stance he takes because "everybody has dreams." And, if he let his disability indefinitely delay his dreams, he never would have gotten his breakout supporting role.
His time on set for the show has wrapped, but he looks forward to going to more auditions and adding to his YouTube channel. He's currently studying communications at HACC.
McKoy-Johnson has a handful of people he can impersonate to a tee. But, when it comes to the catalyst behind his acting accomplishments, there's a universal lesson that others should emulate.
"You just gotta keep trying."

sounds like they're not happy with some of the episodes and have to do reshoots or something like that... or is this something Hulu is known to do? If they were prepared, you'd think they'd drop them all at once.Quote:
