Editorial Reviews
Charles Cosby's life is changed forever when he writes a fan letter to the "Cocaine Godmother" Griselda Blanco, who is serving time in a federal prison. Six months later, Cosby is a multi-millionaire, Blanco's lover, and the head of her $40 million a year cocaine business. Also known as "The Black Widow" for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she's done with them, Blanco stops at nothing to ensure that Charles is faithful. Cosby soon learns he's in way over his head.

While Hustlin' with the Godmother is by no means a five-star documentary like Cocaine Cowboys, the reviews of one and two stars are overly critical. They don't market it as a Miami drug war documentary, they promote the DVD for what it is: the relationship between Charles Cosby and Griselda Blanco. In that respect, it's a solid documentary that gives you a more detailed look at the life of the Godmother, and how Cosby made it snow in Oakland.
Hustlin' with the Godmother can't hold a candle to the original Cocaine Cowboys DVD. But then again, most drug documentaries don't either. You'll appreciate CC2 if you approach it as it's own documentary about a guy who goes from being a small-time dealer, to an instant millionaire with the most deadly woman in the game.
There are several things that I really appreciated about the DVD. The first is that stories are re-enacted through incredible animation sequences, which makes for great visuals. The second is that you finally find out how Griselda's enforcer Rivi sank the original trial against the Godmother. And third, the introduction of "The Real Scarface" theme by Bay Area rapper Ncredable, which Rakontur used for the DVD.
I bought the DVD from Amazon; it makes a good watch every now and then, though it isn't the best documentary in my collection. I'd say rent it once before deciding on buying it.

I like the story. I am from Cali, therefore I could relate to the area and what was going on at that time. They did not hold anything back. I show all my friend the movie when they came to visit.

Three and a half stars for this. If "Cocaine Cowboys" was the Vice City of true crime, then this is the San Andreas, as we head to the west coast in the early 1990's. Hard to top the original (probably the best true crime docu ever made), but still good.

It is almost criminal to suggest that "Cocaine Cowboys 1" was better than "CC2".

As good as the first in its own way
This film is just as compelling and full of information as the first. I'll admit it is less comprehensive. Read more

sequels usually suck and "Hustlin' with the god mother" happens to be a perfect example of a producers desperate attempt to make a few extra dollars. Read more
