Ohh i forgot he was in Woman Thou Art Loosed

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

All i know is that he's definitely in the hood cinema hall of fame...first ballot, unanimous selection...this negro has roles dating all the way back to the ORIGINAL House Party and Menace II Society in the early 90's thru the No Limit Films-era in the late 90's all the way up to present-day random ass netflix rom-com's with all black casts that you throw on and watch the first 20 minutes of before fukking a broad you invited over on your couch today...he's played iconic roles like "Pinky" in Next Friday and "That one pimpish nikka that was smashing Larenz Tate's bm when he was off in 'Nam" in Dead Presidents...dude's resume is impeccable, pristine..unmatched prolificacy and longevity, he's the Kareem Abdul Jamar of that sh!t...in all likelihood he's the greatest hood movie supporting actor or all time

Along those same lines, I watched Think Like a Man for the first time today...and it dawned on me who the GOAT typecasted black mama in contemporary negro cinema is

Jenifer Lewis got it...hands down...it's to the point where I feel like i should get her something for Mother's Day this year

i also nominate Loretta Devine

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

i also nominate Loretta Devine

they both killed it together in this movie

Maaan. I've always felt like this dude was talented enough to be casted in legit Hollywood films (and he's been in plenty). But he'll show up in the lowest of low budget carwash DVDs. Thats also admirable in a way...

He's a legend for sure

I always said son is like the B Grade Denzel, blessed us with so many roles in hood classics but never gets the big time respect

I was watching that DMX movie on BET today and Clifton Powell was in it as the antagonist. Is there any movie where he isnt the resident bad guy?

All i got is him as Pinky in Next Friday.

u forgot menace II society? he was snitchin' ass chauncey.

 

[Danie84]

...now the residential bad guy is a good guy in all those off-brand Black churches flicks

kinda a dope fukkin anology

 

[Milk N Cookies]

*Bump*

I found another role Clifton where wasn't a bad guy!!! He played Janet Du Bois (Wilona from Good Times) grandson on an episode of Moesha. His good guy roles are few; but they are out there.

 

[Remy Danton]

this brother pops up in just about every movie ive seen

 

[blackestofpanthers]

He was hilarious on that episode of martin where the fake cop was robbing their apartments. Bust through the door ready to shoot martin and yelling at him to make a move



Watch the entire episode because it's great, but skip to 21:07 for the cameo.
