Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during the peak of hip-hop mogul mythology (Jay-Z's 'retirement,' Diddy's Hamptons era), G captures a specific moment when rap royalty aspired to old-money acceptance.
Director Christopher Scott Cherot self-financed much of this after his indie breakout Hav Plenty; the Hamptons locations were secured through personal connections, not studio backing.
