Bastards of the Party: The De-Evolution of Bangin

"i called hbo to get a copy of the dvd. they said the film is in litigation and not available for purchase right now. they said it may also be taken off the air before its regular schedule. so, better copy."

Dated March 2007. Just something I found. I found the whole video at worldstarhiphop.com but it's flash not an mpeg or anything like that.

Or if you understand torrents, you can always find a torrent of it. I don't know the rules pertaining to giving out warez information so I won't do it here, but it is out there.

why would it be in litigation?

Why are you asking me questions that I have no idea the answer to? I thought I'd help you out by passing along some information I found posted on another board from a year ago. I know it's old news but it might explain why there's been no DVD release yet. HBO always releases their documentaries on DVD so it's kind of surprising this one hasn't been done yet, and maybe this is part of the answer to that. Or it could just be all BS. Either way, there's other ways to get a hold of the movie outside of a DVD copy if you really want to see it.

You can watch it on the internet for free. The only thing I don't like about it is how a white man tells the history of Black gangs.

[Old Shatterhand]

Well welcome to a multicultural society. I tell you what though. I agree with you but for a different reason. I think Alonso would have been a better choice given his resume and also he is more interesting to listen to.

What they should have done is compiled a list of who knows the most history of the city of LA, and just go with who is better on camera.

[moblack]

My question is, why would they show this particular documentary on a channel that the target audience does not watch?

Very few people in the hood have HBO, or watch it.

I don't know what hoods you talking about. Cable television is a must in low income peoples homes. Not like they're going to work.

Mike Davis was really talking about the racism coming from the LAPD, and applying that to the gang history already being discussed, by black people from Los Angles, most of the former gang members. "City of Quartz" is a must read for anyone remotely interested in how LA wound up being LA. It was Bone who brought Mike Davis in. Bone read the chapter in Quartz that dealt with how the LAPD threw the constitution out the window in the early '80s to address gangs, and Bone sought him out and met him. Davis wasn't speaking for black people. He's a Los Angeles historian, who emphasizes the city's corruption and racism.

I watched it on youtube.Really liked it,hope he's gon release more movies just like that.

I'm talking about the ones out here.

I don't think I knew of anyone with HBO.

I don't know, maybe things have changed in the last year.

[blackandbrownpower]

This is prolly the illest video made about the subject. Cle gets deeper than anyone else about the history... when you understand the title of the movie you understand a lot. There was legal issues which prevented it from being released for a real long time, which is sad cuz this shit needs to be out there and getting a lot of airtime.

[A Ghost]

this needs to be released ASAP

[blackandbrownpower]

but even tho this shit gets deep about L.A. gang origins more than any other DVD, since Cle is Blood he doesnt get as deep into Crip origins as the American Gangster TV show about Tookie Williams

I like the overall positive message it has. Not just the history.

Filmmaker Has Bone to Pick With HBO, FuquaAward-winning African-American filmmaker, Matthew McDaniel, has filed a federal court lawsuit in Los Angeles against HBO, Antoine Fuqua, Fuqua Films, and Cle "Bone" Sloan, in response to their unauthorized use of his now-famous footage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots in their film "Bastards of the Party." The lawsuit alleges against all defendants claims of copyright infringement, fraud, breach of contract, and unfair competition. The lawsuit seeks both monetary damages and injunctive relief.

McDaniel has spent the past twenty (20) years documenting the condition of the black community in America. McDaniel's footage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots is unique in that it contains exclusive, personal interviews with a number of the rioters in the midst of their rioting. The footage is arguably best known as the source of many of the spoken word audio quotes contained on musical artist Dr. Dre's ground-breaking rap album "The Chronic" and for its use in McDaniel's award-winning documentary "Birth of a Nation: 4-29-1992." Mr. McDaniel is represented by Farhad Novian, Esq. and William R. H. Mosher, Esq., Novian & Novian, LLP. (February 26, 2007)
