Inspired by previous gritty street dramas such as "Shaft Takes the Remote" and "Satellite-Dish Jones", LD: What It Is portrays an accurate depiction of the urban black man's struggle in navigating through a decaying urban jungle of drugs and criminal behavior while simultaneously configuring his home entertainment system. Keep on the look-out for an uncredited Pam Grier cameo as the digital cable phone-support technician. There's a rumor that Quinten Tarantino is considering re-making this classic, but nothing can compare to the original. Like they say in the movie, "Laserdisc, brother. What it IS!!"
