Are you questioning our knowledge of Nigerian literature?
I read that book in high school.
And boom goes the dynamite.
When I saw the movie title, I originally thought that the original novel would be adapted to a modern story. Apparently not.
50's office happens to be up on the 3rd floor. Wanna no something really crazy? The place is filled with high-tech Israeli/Russian security crap. But 50 and his partner Chris didn't have it installed, that was Suge and the deathrow posse. That's right, 50's office is in the old deathrow records hq. Sort of bizarre eh! We use Suge's old bedroom (the penthouse) for executive conference calls. The dancing poll remains intact.

It took me half this thread to figure out what 50 or 50c stood for. I'm getting old AND turn down that damn radio and get off my lawn you damn kids.
Be glad the only thing associated with University of Michigan is the name.
