So how much did Singleton offer Jin's "y'all gonna learn Chinese" ass to play Luda's mechanic??

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

He was locked up for a minute, so he probably would've been replaced anyways..shrugs

 

[Copper]

Most rappers don't take movie roles for the $, they fi it for the experience and networking opportunities for future shit

Ja stupid

 

[DOPEdweebz]

But wat about Jin ....

 

[twizza 77]

Ja could have been in Tokyo Drift.

 

[So ILL]

The Cookout & Half Past Dead.

He turned it down because he wanted his name on the poster and in the opening credits lol.

"It's not how you stand next to your car,it's how you race your car"-Edwin

Worst line in movie history.

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

Lol but his character came off as some street racing king, tryna impart knowledge and shit. Then he got smoked tho.

Dont see the L here or why he thru out the $ figure ...i mean i imagine thats the running rate for a movie role of that type

Also, i mean...he WAS too big for the role at the time. Hindsight always 20/20

This is only percieved as an L bc he went to jail and had IRS problems, but jail,irs, and 50 ruined him, not passing on this role

Bullshit he was just being a nigga, it should never be below someone to make half a mil not doing it was a bad decisions when he made it not in hindsight

This was back when Ja was on top the rap game. 500K would not have been a lot to him word to Dame Dash. It was probably pennies compared to what he was making then.

Non of us would have guessed it would turn out to be a huge franchise. It was borderline straight to DVD status when they released Tokyo Drift I thought it was a wrap. I don't believe anyone that says they knew it would be this big. Ja did nothing wrong by turning it down. That's like saying Will Smith was stupid for turning down the role of Neo in the Matrix. He didn't know it would be huge. Shit like this happens all the time.

I waited for it to come out on video to rent it for free and I was still mad lol.
