The Best 'Raploitation' Movies Of All-Time
- Thread starter kes1111

Every single character was rapping their dialogue, from the thugs to the ladies to the doctors and police officers..surprisingly didn't come off corny and was well executed. It was a trip seeing Actresses like Malinda williams spitting bars
It's Pretty much a film version of Sticky's "Black Trash" album..I remember him talking about making a movie adaptation of the album years ago and getting Omar Epps and Mekhi phifer involved..This was probably Sticky's labour of love for a few years

Belly---Best cinematography of any "Raploitation' flick ever..and was actually a decent flick for about the first 45 minutes, untill it eventually got dragged down by a weak plot, lazy character development and weak acting (shout out to Nas)
Lot of Eye Candy, and not too bad of a plot

This is my shit. VERY obscure so therefore it's slept on or never brought up in discussion. I don't know too many people who has seen it.
The films in this thread are low budget b-movies that are just a showcase for a rap artist.
Hood movies from major studios that played at theaters are different:
Hood film is a film genre originating in the United States in the late 1980s to early 1990s, which features aspects of urban African-American culture such as hip hop music, street gangs, racial discrimination, poverty, and the problems of young black men coming of age or struggling in a predominantly white society. Such films predominantly feature African-American actors.The prototypical hood films are Boyz n the Hood and Menace II Society, whose serious storytelling approach popularized the type. As early as 1996, however, hood films were seen as a stereotype against which black filmmakers constantly struggled to avoid comparison or compartmentalization.
Greatly appreciate your insight fam. Ever since this thread started I have been researching hood vs. rapsploitation films. Even going as far as film that could be considered ghetto. I took the definition of hood movies and applied it properly to the blog.
Blaxploitationpride.org
Really helpful thread fam. And thanks for the education and clarification. I want to make sure black cinema films are categorized properly. Now I am searching for everything in this thread do I can present it on my blog properly. Anymore info or suggestions you have on the handling of these films I am open to.
It's funny ya'll made this thread. I was talking with a friend of mine who wrote an article talking about this. Basically saying years from now we will look back on black cinema of today and in the same manner we reflect on blaxploitation. We've created hoodsploitation and as this thread title rapsploitation.

This came out when I was eleven or twelve years old. Used to come on Showtime way back in the day. The actor who played D'Angelo Barksdale from The Wire was in this.
belly was the longest intro to a rap video ever
that shit was all fisheye lens and slow motion
I have to admit this was the toughest scene in the flick I wished a better black film had done it..
Bump....
Researching some of these films out.

Indeed! Belly 2 with Game was totally whack and I'm still trying to get those 2 hours back. Another movie folks slept on was High School High. One of the dopest soundtracks ever with a line-up full of stars.

Great movie. I think it came out around 93. Kid Capri and Daryl Chill Mitchell was in it as well.
