Menace hands down. I never liked boys in the hood, having Cuba Golding jr in it just killed it for me, i can't take this nikka serious in this type of role.
Menace II Society vs Boyz N The Hood
- Thread starter Mad Good Dro
- Start date
I think ya'll are really on to something with Cuba making Boyz difficult to watch nowadays. You try to watch and shake the fact that this niqqa did snow dogs, and carved out such lame corny career, but thats almost impossible. Boyz has low replay value, and its almost all because of him. It woulda been great if he and Morris Chestnut flip flopped roles, and it was Cuba who got blasted at the end...or better yet, if another up and coming young black actor woulda assumed that role like Omar Epps. What about Pac in Cuba's role...dayum!
Speaking of young dynamic black actors....shout out to Larenz tate, who pulled off one of the great acting jobs with O-Dog. He was a 5'2 brotha from the burbs, that went to school with Malcolm Jamal warner, and yet he was devastatingly convincing as a remorseless, hood sociopath. If he was taller, he woulda been a huge star, cause the brotha's chops on the acting tip were outta this world. He was fantastic in Dead Pres too.

When watching Boyz N The Hood now, the movie seems a bit cheesy. Boyz N The Hood was one of those "had to be there" type of movies. It was great the time but it hasn't aged well. Menace keeps you entertained throughout the whole movie. It's held up a whole lot better too.
Menace wins IMO.
Oh yeah, Juice was a better movie than Boyz N The Hood too.

Boyz is more Hollywood, with a bittersweet ending while Menace is grittier, darker and arguably more realistic. I like them both though.
When it comes to hood films:
Boyz=The Godfather
Menace= Goodfellas

Menace II Society had more violence but Boys was an overall better film and sent a better message to the youth.
Menace was basically mindless violence and cursing for 2 hours and then one small sentence of a dude realizing he did wrong at the very last minute.
Boyz demonstrated much better the value of how a life can change for the better if two parents are involved in the childs ubringing and what could happen to u if u choose to live that street life

Ice cube giving us a gem at the end of boyz in the hood was the most powerful moment between the two. Ricky and caine getting lit up cancel each other out. Boyz n the hood was the best overall
