I came in here specifically to say these fuckin' things aren't dueling! This is clearly a joint marketing effort to get people to watch both. Even if you wouldn't normally care, now you gotta see both so you can tell everyone which was better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the Hulu one is better and I don't think they are working together after seeing both. Folks who are named as being culpable in the Hulu doc are behind the Netflix doc... it will make sense when you see both. The Netflix one isn't bad, but the Hulu doc does a better job explaining what happened and how and the broader context that led to this shit happening. If you plan on watching both, I would watch the Netflix one first, then the Hulu doc in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I've only watched the Netflix one. I got a nice laugh when Ja Rule called himself a "Hip Hop mogul." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The only people I feel bad for are the locals who worked on trying to get that shit show off the ground; those people pretty much were never paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Watch the Hulu one. The Netflix one was put out by the same marketing firm who was in charge of the festival and it shows. Any and all culpability is place solely on the main organizer and everyone else is made to look like they were trying to fix it/stop him. The Netflix one is straight up propaganda compared to Hulu’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Netflix one was produced to coincide with the release of the Hulu film as a straight up propaganda campaign and muddy up the waters there. Cool. That'll be a skip from me.

Yeah Fuck Jerry was involved with the Netflix doc and that wasn't disclosed... I didn't know that until I watched the Hulu doc. That said, while the Hulu doc paints a more complete picture, the Netflix doc has more interviews from people directly involved with the festival including several Bahamians that were directly affected showing more of the affect this whole debacle had on the locals. I think it wouldn't hurt to watch both and while other folks may share some culpability, it's clear from the doc that the main guy lied to EVERYBODY. The Netflix doc has one of the best lines from Ja Rule "It's not fraud, don't say fraud... It's more like false advertising." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I thought the Netflix one was better. While the fuckjerry guys basically just blame the main guy and not themselves, they still describe all the scummy shit they did. As long as you know this, I dont think it’s a big deal. And it has a lot more interviews with people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I just found out that in order to get him for the interview the Hulu doc paid the Billy guy. They were still though in him in the interview, but he was paid nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The one Bahamian lady in the Netflix doc put up a GoFundMe to try and recoup what she lost, I think she was looking to get $120,000 and it’s at close to $250,000. Good for her, she seems like a decent woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
