those are the major talking points
but with any movie atmosphere soundtrack and all that stuff makes a difference too, it was really well done.
 
It's funny how things turn out.

I work in a bank in Watts and ain't too much changed.

One thing I don't like is all the Black people moving out their neighborhood to brushfire areas of cheaper value like Palmdale and Lancaster.

Black people really need to stop doing shit like that and work on fixing the community where they're at.

Ummm yeah when people get money they move out the low income areas with crime. You're the 1st person I know to say stay in a low income neighborhood.

the areas that they gave us. those low income areas
are the best areas to live, climate wise, location wise, all of that.

its the reason they come back later and try to gentrify people because they want back in where they gave us. they thought moving further was better.
but it isn't
that's prime real estate.

build those places back up and its perfect.
i didn't think that was a secret

I agree moving to Wack ass Lancaster & Palmdale isn't the way to go. But you just said it yourself. Not much has changed in the 20 or so yrs since the movie.

Plus trying to raise a family in watts, hell anywhere on the east side is rough.

Exactly.

A lot of people here don't even know President George Bush (the first one) used to live in Compton.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

I butchered some of the lines earlier, but this underrated scene always has me rollin!!:lol:



"Ayo WAX? ("Jjeah?")"

And my boys still refer to Clifton Powell as "Cutty" (from Dead Presidents) or "Faggot-ass Chauncey" rather than his real name, no matter what movie he pops up in :lol:

as far as i'm concerned, Boyz in da hood, Menace II Society and Baby Boy were all so dam good because it was some real shit. Shit you just saw yesterday. them movies hit home like a mothafucka which is why they classics to me. Bozy N Da Hood could have been a fucking documentary.

they tried to do that to the west oakland people man
well they have done it to some of west oakland.

homes built in the 40's and shit black owned homes having them move out inland...the desert basically.
my aunts fell for that trap too, but luckily i got their houses from them since they didn't want them. they been trying to get me to sell them places...i will not sell....will not ever sell..

west oakland is right on the water
like 10 mins from san fran
10 min from berkeley and emeryville (where pixar is)

that's PRIME real estate.
they're trying to build condos all up and down everywhere because they saw that living far away was bullshit.
commuting 2 hours each way....

when the real property is right there and we in it.

its the people man. if we got our act together...

white people used to live all in oakland...everywhere in the flat lands cause oakland location wise and climate wise is damn near perfect.

its right in the middle. you can get to everywhere in the bay area from oakland no problem.

suddenly all the section 8 vouchers were sending people to dublin, stockton, pittsburgh... that wasn't an accident.
 
he was spittin real shit. but the funny thing is last dude was saying some real shit too. as ignorant as it sounds.

whole point is it shouldn't be kill or be killed amongst our own.
it should be build and keep building.

we should have been brought up to help each other
and not fuck with the enemy.
a group of people who profit off of your pain can be considered enemies right? that's just being logical right?
stop being ok with dealers in the hood.
deal in their hood
come back home to yours
like the police officers do...they police our hoods go crazy then come back home to their houses nice and peaceful... feel me?

stop shooting each other over nonsense.
anything other than protecting your house that's being robbed.
there's really no reason to be gunning after someone.
 
I love a good hood movie. I have watched every movie mentioned in this thread multiple times. A lot of unique stories from that time & before. Post Civil Rights 60's black America has a lot of stories. Hard to get them produced properly.

American Gangster( Bio pic/drama) is the rare exception because it was pushed by Ridley Scott & Brian Grazer. They got Denzel, Russell Crowe, & Josh Brolin on board. And it returned cash on a $100 million dollar budget. It can be done if you can get a connected producer on board.

The hood flicks got squeezed out by the feel good black romance movies. Aint enough room for both I guess.

Allen Hughes is a good brother not Hollywood at all. Albert ,I'll take my moms advice & say nothing.

:yes::yes:
 
Friday isn't in the same category as menace & boys in the hood either.

But a lot of 90 hood movies based on LA are classics.

Fresh & juice are great NY classics.

We're movies simply written better back then, or what.

Fuck that. Juice is a great NY/NJ classic. Queen Latifah, Omar Epps an Jermaine Hopkins (Sams from Lean on Me) were from Jerz. We sharing that shit.

Man what you're saying is the truth about building. I try and people my boys up on shit and they just don't listen. Every job I've had I tell my cousin or whoever man put your application in I can help I'm on the inside. Always get that ok yeah or man your job is dangerous.
