RIP Brando... Classic track, produced by Ski - the same genius who did Dead Presidents for Jay-Z and Luchini for Camp Lo. This is a song that any male can relate to who's come across materialistic and money hungry bitches during their life.

[eightballxox]

I loved these dudes.....spoke up 4 all men out there....lol!!!!

[sydeswipe]

Street Cinema is one of my favorite CD's of all time. Been bumpin' it since '98. Every song is a story that needs a video to go along with it, especially "Spy Hunter".Too bad that Marlon Brando got killed, because this group would of made more albums and would of got the credit they deserved.

[gmoneee75]

Good shit son

[haxmya]

This whole CD was great in my opinion.

[Coolyfett]

I agree, I cant find it no where, damn I feel old.

[bunnyfnbaby]

[gmoneee75]

R.I.P Marlon Brando I take my hat off to you god you a true nigga bless your fam real nigga

[columbusohio72]

check how he left the restaurant on that chic. lol

[REIGN131]

@gmoneee75 WHAT??? OMG damm Im sorry to hear that, this is news to me

[konnekt164]

@REIGN131 saved a life in the process though

[LadyLibra34]

I can relate to this song with the shoe on the other foot. Most men in Atlanta are so like the women being described in this song and wonder why I leave them at the bus stop where I found them.

[FinalJusticeMovement]

How exactly is this, Lady Libra?

I'm just curious to know.

--The Final Justice

[Coolyfett]

College Park College Park!!! What part of the A you live at?

[needabreak]

I am a woman and I do not find this disrespectful at all. We women always talk about the bad things that men do but sometimes we hurt good men ourselves. The same way that we complain about the bad things that men do is the same way that these men are standing up for the good men that get bashed whenever we say that men are "this" and men are "that".

[XTRABIG]

Damn!! finally a woman who can tell the truth. I respect that.

At least u recognize that this is comedy, a video. Even tho there is some truth to it.

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Actually, XtraBig,

Even though these men have a witty delivery that can bring a few chuckles, there is PLENTY of truth to this song and many of the other efforts by Sporty Thievz.

Why does this have to be comedy?

Don't YOU relate to some of the lyrics?

Haven't you had at least ONE experience with a female with an attitude of entitlement?

You more than likely have and you should take it VERY seriously, especially if you EVER intend to get married.

Yours In Truth,

--The Final Justice

[XTRABIG]

FinalJusticeMovement-

I Respect ur op. However, I just can't take this song and video SO seriously. LIKE the song: lyrics, beat, and video. I GET the message Sporty Thieves is sending. Nothing NEW tho. Reference Big L "No Endz, No Skinz" or 3X Dope "Funky dividends" both hot joints that precede "Cheapskate"

Musically speaking, I choose to take Grandmaster Flash's "The Message"

or Stop the violence movement's "Self Destruction" as the the wake up call they were meant to be.

Xtrabig

[FinalJusticeMovement]

XtraBig,

Consider the following:

"The Message" (1981) and "Self Destruction" (1989) were songs that consciously addressed the plight of society..in a more GENERAL setting that mostly involves and affects African people.

"Funky Dividends" (probably the best known title from 3XDope) and "No Endz, No Skinz" were extremely underground and otherwise not given as much attention as "Cheapskate" (a minor hit itself).

Moreover, ST addressed MISANDRY on a more regular basis than other Hip-Hop acts.

-FJ

[XTRABIG]

FJ-

Your last sentence is right on the money. Sporty Thieves were definitely getting that chip off their shoulder. And putting females to whom it applies on notice.

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Our problem as men, Xtra, is that, just like you, WE DON'T TAKE MISANDRY (hatred of men) SERIOUSLY, which is why the majority of us continue to face more divorce defeats, false accusations and imprisonments, beatdowns and killings, mistreatment, and all-around disrespect from women AND the world than women do.

Why do you think Sporty recorded "No Pigeons"?

Yes, it was funny, but at the same time, they were saying "ENOUGH of this male-bashing bullS#!+"!

Yours In Truth,

--The Final Justice

[XTRABIG]

I agree with you somewhat here. The relentless put down of men in our society is troubling. Talk shows from Maury, to Oprah seem to take a certain pleasure in degrading and belittling men. Women continue to surpass men in two key areas: education, and employment. However, no one is sounding the alarm about this. Sort of to say that it's ok and acceptable for men to fail, be locked up, kill or be killed, and even abondoned or forgotten by our society.

I agree with u and ST: ENUFF!

[samiam213]

I miss the trio. 1:32 is hilarious he's kickin lol.. r.i.p. brando!

[phillyroxx]

"so whatchu' givin' up ass honey or gas money"....... R.I.P Brando!!!!

[bklynsfynest2k3]

LOL..i luv this song!

[DainjaKing]

"i didnt buy nuttin of course!...you bitches is whores?!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA CLASSSIC

[dynisty5706]

das y dey are were??

no where ha ha ha! good

respect women we give yall life!

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Leonna (Dynisty),

What makes you think Sporty Thievz were disrespecting women?

Did you ever think of how badly women treat men on a consistent basis?

Do you even care about the way your government virtually beats men down in your country?

Remember the AIDS PSA in which ONLY the men are portrayed as gun-toting killers (to represent their HIV-positive status) who shot their women point-blank after sex?

Are women NOT responsible anymore?

ST gave misandric women exactly what they deserved!

[asm1976]

This reminds me of my undergraduate days!

[shansmeeze]

these cats were underated mcs!...i love all of their flows

[elperez3]

"I'll send her home with a token"...LOL!

[Mysta2007]

Hi can anybody help me at all???

I'd be very grateful and wouldn't mind trading songs with anyone...

Here's what I'm after.

Sport Theivz had an album entitled "F*ck Sport Thievz" on that album was a song called Independant Men. It was the guy version of Destiny's Child - Independant Woman. Now I've tried so hard to get that album but the only one I've got is Street Cinema.

If anybody has the song in full length and listenable quality just holla at me.

Somebody PLEASE get back to me.

Mysta

[blaqceeza]

I don't know if you got that yet, but I'm 99% sure that I got it on my computer at home. Hit me up with your e-mail addy and I'll send it

[croonsby]

[Mysta2007]

[candiicaine]

[seanniemakk702]

[J0hnBlack]

Sporty Thieves were the shit man. They came with that hardcore comedic rap. RIP Marlon Brando. Dude died while saving his cousin from a car that was about to hit him.

[CubanHeat]

I love this Song ..lol.. those fucking birds !!!

[cheddaguy06]

i was praying i could find this videos, this was that shit!!!!!! rip marlon brando he got killed trying to save a kid from getting hit by a car. real talk

[ljcs3577]

this album hot...complete concept album

[timbalandj]

I rolled on the floor when I heard this.... this is classic comedy - you don't hear this kinda stuff anymore

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Sure, Tim.

Sporty Thievz were witty and humorous,

but they were also brilliant and conscious.

They were the first artists to seriously address men's issues in Hip-Hop while keeping their lyrics hotter than lava.

This song "Cheapskate", which was their first hit BEFORE "No Pigeons", was a song that speaks volumes about "entitled princesses" who feel they are entitled to a man's money or fortune. What for?

What have these virtual strangers contributed to YOU to earn YOUR hard-earned cash?

--FJ

[NJNupe1911]

which one was brando?

[paulegf]

the guy who spit last. the one who died

[NJNupe1911]

Thanx man....

[sozah]

Wow, now that i listen to this, after so many years. It's obvious that Cam'ron ghostwrote this

[khaosb]

cam's own lyrics are not this hot so how he ghostwrote this

[anothayouinaminute]

They just keep on makin songs to degrade Black men but at the same time tellin rappers to "RESPECT"

"THEM" as if we aint worth NOTHIN! All because the white man won't hold them up as trophy women, LOL.

Don't date sista's. Get ou an African girl or Asian

or White, but NO MORE PIDGEONS!!!!!!! (:

[TARIQSMA]

First, you are making some horrible generalizations about black females, we are not all pigeons. People should be judged on a case by case basis. Second, proofreading is essential.

[anothayouinaminute]

TARIQSMOGMA-

Black women make 'horrible' generalizations' all day which has them rejected in the first place!

Proff read your B men avoiding you thinking u hate them. Black boys r neglected by BW so u reap what u have sown.  SISTAS ARE THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!

[TARIQSMA]

You are obviously uneducated stop posting comments.

[LivingSymbiote]

Brother you are SO right... great posts!

That was John Forte in the begginning with the dreads. He been in Jail since 98-99.

[BKyle215]

Forte... summer of 2000. He REEEEALLY could have prevented that. Extreme lapse in judgement on his part... but he brought it on himeself heavy.

[buckyHype]
