East vs West: Who has the better hood movies?

[KravenMorehead™]

I knew this was coming one day. I gotta think hold on

off top im sayin west

 

[MikeyC]

Does Straight Outta Compton count?

 

[boskey]

Came in to say West hands down but then I remembered Juice and Belly. Tough decision...

 

[Danie84]

Westside, cuz you and I know its the Best side

...and, I'm a East Coast 90s Kid too

Lowkey, Da South got alot of underrated hood gems

 

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

Where do we put Above the Rim? It's a NY based movie with a strictly westcoast soundtrack

ehh

soundtrack was really just half west coast.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Juice, Above the Rim, New Jersey Drive, New Jack City... Only West Coast movie better than those is Boyz.

 

[How Sway?]

nothing can top boyz in the hood or menace II society

but i think the east had better movies as a whole

 

[MoneyBags]

east...

paid in full
strapped
state property 1
new jack city

but menace to society and baby boy are classics. i always thought boyz in the hood was wack.

[dora_da_destroyer]

west...wait, are we only considering shoot em up bang bang or do hood comedies count too? but boyz, menace, and baby boy

above the rim and new jack city tho

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Was dead presidents a hood movie?

 

[avon barksdale]

colors............westside

 

[Wacky D]

did new jack city even have a setting as to what city it was?

and if that counts as a hood movie, then I'm throwing in movies like south central & blood brothers '93.

Boyz in the hood had so much knowledge in it. But Nino Brown in court was kinda kicking it too.

The west maybe.
