What's y'all thoughts on New Jack City while we're all here?


an actual incredible movie.
where portions of the movie are so well done.
it writes a how to.
on certain urban scenes and chsracterization.
for our gen in movies moving forward.

the new jack hustler vignette where ice t chases Chris rock. is movie magic perfection for a music montage based scene.
for the love of money opening, you maybe hard pressed.
to find a better music selection in any movie maybe all time. In our Gen I really have to think hard. I wanna sex you up being what it was.
the cokehead simp based love triangle of g money, whore and Nino.
just Nino name is as classically threatening as any in print on said on screen, too.

that movie deserves a good rant thread, actually.

Gentrification is a bytch we'll never get another hood classic


we won't get anymore hood classic because fox does not need to revenue grab off of us.
to get NFL or NASCAR and a news outlet going.

fukk fox, they literally used the black community to revenue grab their way to prominence and show their true colors.
while trying to act like they never used the black dollar or community to be whom they are.


fukk fox!

how is clockers last to New Jersey drive :what:

njd was just a bunch of young nikkas stealing cars through the entire movie and the police reacting to it.

fresh is a top 3 NYC based movie of all time to me.
I don't get the NJD love either. It was aight but I thought it would clearly come in third

I always thought Jersey was a cousin to Menace and while is it's also kin to Juice also..The one.thing they did that we didn't get with Bishop was seeing how Midget went crazy in the end

clockers is the perfect storm to me, as far as cinema goes...score, filters, story, camera work.
njd is pure entertainment. i know a lot of brothers not from the east that love to watch it to make fun of east coast dudes

so clockers. but i gotta watch njd every time i see it mentioned so...time to fire it up

New Jersey drive the best one to me,only question is how did midget never get arrested? He got caught in the act stealing a car,on camera jacking a car, runnin from the cops in stolen car.Next scene he walking down the street :what: he was never behind bars once in that movie.
i cant remember the line off hand, but the point of midget was that he would rather die than go to jail. so he was pretty much on the run the whole flick until he died

you forget about the illegal police involved shooting and witness intimidation by a crooked cop, huge part of the movie

i might have to change my vote. richie on the scooter with the umbrella gotta be one of the most brilliant scenes in hood movie history

I enjoyed other parts of the movie more then the actual story, movie was actually pretty funny, especially midget and Richie clowning on Jason :russ:
