Eminem Featured in Documentary "How to Make $ Selling Drugs"

[Amaranthine]

After working on both the Oscar-nominated Deliver Us From Evil and Adrian Grenier‘s Teenage Paparazzo, Matthew Cooke is set to premiere his directorial documentary debut, How to Make Money Selling Drugs this fall. At first glance, it seems like another take on topics Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner explored in their excellent book Freakonimics. But this one has an added dose of celebrity.

Rappers Eminem, 50 Cent and Rick Ross (this is a mistake by the journalist, the Rick Ross featured is not the rapper) discuss their upbringing that dealt with the drug trade, while The Wire creator David Simon talks about the economics of the industry. There’s also DEA agents talking about the other side of the dangerous business. And for some reason Woody Harrelson and Susan Sarandon also show up in the feature. Cut together like an informercial regarding the title, we’ve got the promising first trailer, which gives us an inside look at this $400 billion industry. Check it out below, along with some photos, for the film premiering at TIFF.

I.. Don't understand? Sounds like he's saying "If I wanna get high, I'll do it"

He's probably talking about the consumer side of the situation.

Word. I edited my post, but at first I thought he was talking about the seller side.

That's not the rapper Rick Ross.

That's the real, "Freeway" Rick Ross. Your source is mistaken!

Ha! You're right! I didn't notice that in the article. I'll go fix that.

This is old. I remember seeing a random pic of Eminem in the same black background long ago, maybe in 2010.

He sounds fucking pissed, oh, that aggression.

I remember that too, but I don't remember seeing this clip...I shot the director a tweet though, so on the off chance that he sees it and replies, we'll have an answer.

Nope, the clip wasn't around at that time, just two random pics, both side face.
