For me the OG "Sweet sweetbacks bad ass song." A lot of what followed didn't really understand Van Peebles' message, they just copied the style.
Have you seen Baadassss: how to get the man's foot outta your ass. Definitely worth a watch, documentary/homage to his pops and the original film Sweet SweetbackFor me the OG "Sweet sweetbacks bad ass song."

Don’t consider films like Cornbread and Earl & Cooley High to be blaxploitation films. They were just great coming of age tales.
Why do ppl bring up Black Ceaser without bringing up "Hell up in Harlem" which is the sequel...and has one of the best " the day the nikkas took over" scenes ever....when they come up out the water and kill the whole mafia ..."who made up that bullshyt that black ppl can't swim" ...was the line....but if I see one I have to see the other
Superfly had a subconscious message I cant co sign.
In the end he needed 2 white hit men in order to be free...The message sent to the world is A Blackman needs white people in order to be free.
The trailer for Hell Up In Harlem gives too much of the film away, but it's better than most entire films.Why do ppl bring up Black Ceaser without bringing up "Hell up in Harlem" which is the sequel...and has one of the best " the day the nikkas took over" scenes ever....when they come up out the water and kill the whole mafia ..."who made up that bullshyt that black ppl can't swim" ...was the line....but if I see one I have to see the other
