[gameover82]

Dope ass movie hood classic ....that graduation party scene where Chris tucker saying he wanna be a pimp always had me rolling

 

[threattonature]

To me it's one of the movies whose focus was ALL over the place but pulled it all off. Undeniable classic.

I hated the court scene, but I think its a great movie.


The soundtrack


Keith David is a very underrated actor

Keith David stole the show IMO.



Kirby is one of my favorite characters ever

"nikka fix me a drink"

 

[jackswstd]

I been considered this a classic wish Chris Tucker would've done a few more dramatic roles he had the acting chops for it IMO.

I remember when this shyt came out everybody painted their face like that for Halloween

It's already known as a classic.

Dead Presidents is better than Boyz N The Hood, Juice, and Menace as well by the way.

Greatest film of that generation.

NaS sampled the score on "Suicide Bounce" and he spit a lyrical reference to the movie on "John Blaze". Danny Elfman murdered that theme, it was sick:







"Like that n#gga in Dead President's said, Money to Burn" - NaS

 

[OmegaK2099]

yeah the way keith david said that sh1t was so fukkin gangsta

"thats uncle same for ya...Money to burn...."

Good movie - yes

Great movie - maybe

Classic - Nope

What i liked about this movie was that it told a Vietnam story and the aftermath of it from a black perspective, which is rarely if ever been done before.
But seriously, fukk a bar of soap and come clean here guys, The soundtrack to this movie is classic and prolly made alot of us watch this movie simply based off the soundtrack.

It's one of the GOAT black movies.

The Hughes Bros, the performances, and the soundtrack.

It rips your soul.

at Delilah getting murked like that with two shots to the chest. She was a true ride or die chick.
