Preserved for Posterity

The copy from the front of the Killa Season DVD:

This is Harlem.

This is Flea's world.

At the end of the day, business is business, money is money.

And from the back:

This Harlem inspired story details Flea's rising empire to take over the streets and an unstoppable drive to hustle all the money in various places around the world. Flea was a basketball player, happy with his subtle hustle, until a Dominican connect introduced him to a new way to spread the work and make all the "cake." Revenge will take place when honor is at stake. No one wants to see you on top.

Cameron Giles, you saw him in Paid In Full, makes his directorial debut with this powerful and detailed story of growing up in Harlem and learning to be #1.

With powerful performances by Cam'ron (Paid In Full), Juelz Santana, and Hell Rell, the film also features cameos by Funk Master Flex and Michael Williams from HBO's The Wire.

A few points:

• "an unstoppable drive to hustle all the money in various places around the world"

  • "The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the whole surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish [Dominican] connexions everywhere" (Marx and Engels, Communist Manifesto)
  • "Yo, I could promise this / You dealing with a communist" (Cam'ron, "Leave You Alone," Killa Season)
• "happy with his subtle hustle"
• the quotation marks around "cake"
• "Revenge will take place"
• the repetition, in the space of a couple of sentences, of the Paid in Full citation
• the use of "detailed" as a laudatory term

Sincerely,
