Vlad and Boosie discussed their top gangster movies, with Boosie expressing a strong preference for “Menace to Society” over “Boyz n the Hood.”
Vlad, however, had spoken with the Hughes brothers, the directors of “Menace to Society”, who believed “American Me” was a superior film. This discussion ignited an exploration of the real-life drama that surrounded “American Me,” including inaccuracies that culminated in violence and fatalities. The most controversial scene in “American Me” depicted the rape of a Mexican Mafia leader, an event claimed to be untrue. This fabrication resulted in actor Edward James Olmos receiving death threats, required him to constantly be armed and under the protection of security, and cost ten movie affiliates their lives.Â
