According to SlashFilm -
December 29, 2010
Biutiful is a love story between a father and his children. This is the journey of Uxbal, a conflicted man who struggles to reconcile fatherhood, love, spirituality, crime, guilt and mortality amidst the dangerous underworld of modern Barcelona. His livelihood is earned out of bounds, his sacrifices for his children know no bounds. Like life itself, this is a circular tale that ends where it begins. As fate encircles him and thresholds are crossed, a dim, redemptive road brightens, illuminating the inheritances bestowed from father to child, and the paternal guiding hand that navigates life’s corridors, whether bright, bad – or biutiful.

Big L & Jay-Z Freestyle 1995
From Nahright's Eskay --"How’s this for a rare gem. We’ve all heard the legendary, 7 minute, back and forth freestyle session between L and Hov from the February 23, 1995 episode of the The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show on WKCR. Shit, most of us can probably spit it word for word. But unless you were listening or recording that night, you probably haven’t heard this extended, nearly 10 minute version.
Two of the best lyricists of all time. Pay homage:"

The New Gangs of New York
New York Magazine (NYmag.com) breaks down the modern Gangs of New York City."The current criminal underworld is characterized not by the Mafia dons and heroin kings of yesteryear but by a chaotic universe of warring, decentralized ganglets. And the members are less likely to be battle-hardened parolees than “puppies,” adolescent gangbangers who are too young to have a driver’s license but who are committing violent crimes at alarming levels. “A few years ago, you would see kids 19, 20 years old,” says one NYPD veteran who works the gang beat in Harlem. “Now these kids are babies—15, 14—and they are vicious. They will shoot you in a heartbeat and not think twice about it.”"
Sounds like Ze from City of God ?

Sean Parker
Seeing 'The Social Network' and reading Vanity Fair's October 2010 feature will give greater significance and context to Sean Parker than the quotes below.Sean Parker co-founded Napster and was at one time the President of Facebook Inc. (he is played by Justin Timberlake in 'The Social Network')
"I’ve told Sean he may be the long-lost grandson of Howard Hughes—a brilliant entrepreneur who is somehow transforming the United States and yet is not understood by society. Sean is one of the great serial entrepreneurs of his generation, someone who is really changing the world and turning the wheel of history.”
-Peter Thiel (billionaire PayPal c0-founder and CEO)
“Napster and Facebook are two of the most significant companies in the history of the Internet,” says Matt Cohler, “and in both cases Parker spotted them earlier than anyone—other than the people who invented them.”
