While i can do without the rap music leading out and into the movie (it is, unfortunately like most rap music to this middle aged white man - loud and obnoxious) i have to agree in the similarities between the Italian and Black Cultures - and have wondered if a (pardon me while i cringe at hearing the music again) new version of the Godfather might be centered around a Black family?

(I chucked at the comments of these movies being important to those of Italian descent - i am half Italian, and can remember watching Godfather 1 with my Italian mother - and the two of us chuckling while saying "boy, i wonder if any of our relatives were in this movie?')
