In the 90s, it seems like the only hood movies that ever existed were Boyz N The Hood, Menace To Society and New Jack City.


But these two films right here (New Jersey Drive 1995) and (Fresh 1994) are freaking amazing. Check them out if you haven't already.

However I think Sugar Hill didn't get much praise for this movie if I am not mistake.

Im trying to be positive... fresh and jersey drive sucked... 'who's the man' was better and that was weak too..

I tried to watch clockers one saturday back day on UHF :oldlol: that sh*t was horrible too.

I really need to find a good copy of Krush Groove... That was a good flick

paid in full was a good movie though

You can't be serious about Clockers?

Who's the man is a comedy movie, not the drama movie like we mention it.

Good pick about Paid In Full. Cam'Ron stole that show and surprised the shit out of me. This is what I picture Rico

Or might as well have said Fear of a Black Hat. However, I always though Fear of a Black Hat is way more funniest than CB4.

Fresh was like a real long episode of New York Undercover.

I'm surprised Kizzle hasn't made a thread about NY Undercover yet

Clockers is a great movie. The book is even better, one of my favorite books ever.
