In 2007, former Onyx member Sticky Fingaz decided he wanted to direct a movie about the street life and violence he was used to. But he didn’t want his directorial debut to be like any other movie, he wanted a hip-hop musical. And thus A Day In The Life was born. The only way to describe this movie is to watch the trailer. Although Sticky Fingaz finished filming in 2007, A Day In The Life is finally coming out to DVD via Lionsgate.
On a $900,000 budget, Sticky Fingaz was able to call in some favors with a hip-hop cast that includes Fredro Starr, Treach from Naughty by Nature, Kurupt and even Ray-J. The cast is balanced out with acting veterans Mekhi Phifer, Faizon Love and Omar Epps. WoooHa, Inc. has some exclusive pics of the movie courtesy of Lionsgate. Props to Eskay for the trailer.

What are we teaching the youth. Scratch that…what are the youth teaching us?! This looks terrible.
same story (from the 90′s), same artists (from the 90′s), with a twist… but it’s 10 years late.
I love ONYX! Their lyrics told the story of my youth (from the 90′s). They were always on point when they delivered, what seems like, an insider‚Äôs view to the street. Drugs, money, and guns! But that was tens years ago. Ten years ago selling ‚Äúkeys‚Äù was major, looking through the pages of Guns & Ammo was exciting, and dreaming of having stacks like Scarface was a past-time. Not so much anymore, at least not for me. It‚Äôs a different world now and that old story is not relevant in street life anymore. With the information age making its way into the inner-city, you would think Sticky would have changed up the story to fit. I guess thats why it was made for DVD and not for the big screen…
I know Sticky has a lot more stories in him. I just hope he keeps the 90′s in the 90′s, or tell (make) me something new.
LMAO at your captions. You can tell the cheap budget on this
The best way tog et people emotionally involved with a project is to make it relevant to their experiences, and this is not taht relevant but it has a great looking trailer, it is a freaking musical for goodness sake, but I think it would of been much bigger as a regular straight to DVD release as a talkie, it would of done big for the simple fact of rappers being in the movie, with Omar Epps, Mekhi, Micheal Williams (Omar from Wire) the film they shot it on was incredible, they could of gone the traditional route with this one, limited release followed by DVD, and tons of premiers in every city with all the people connected to the project
