Description
From an early age, Allen Hughes was bitten by the filmmaking bug. On this episode, we flashback to the accomplished auteur’s early days when he and his twin brother Albert would film local crack dealers and make home video recreations of gangster classics like Scarface. Making the jump to music videos, Hughes credits hip-hop with opening the door to make movies like Menace II Society and Dead Presidents possible. Not one to bite his tongue, Hughes also reveals how his family background inspired American Pimp, and shares with Nas and Miss Info the deep psychological aspect of his upcoming Tupac documentary.
