This is how a funeral should be. Filled with laughter and joy. Especially when your sending off someone who left behind so many great memories. Sending someone who gave so much.

I heard that for the movie FRIDAY Ice Cube told him they could only pay him $6000 upfront and he would get more money on the "back end" and he agreed to it.

[@enzigenes]

@@xoxxobob61 Not only that, his goal was to get on the big screen to get more roles. It's all about strategy.

[@iSaidStanback]

Xoxxo Bob that’s because company was willing to take the fall on movie if it flopped and Friday gross well over 100 million and still making money until this day but all of them paid it safe and took the money And Chris tucker took his talent to rush hour which he got Hollywood and didn’t want to appear on Friday after next unless he was getting paid a lot of money
