Dead Presidents 20th Anniversary

[R-Typ3]

Still one of the strongest pieces the Hughes Brothers did after Menace..People talked shyt at the time but little did we know that we had a 90's version of The Deer Hunter right in front our eyes..Dare ya to watch this and not shed a tear or need a breather afterwards Honorable Mention: Keith David as Kirby for bein that old skool soulja they just don't make anymore

True

I can't front. I did shyt on this for some reason when I saw it in the theatre. Only part I liked back then was the armored truck heist. I think cause I was in the Marine Corps at the time and took offense to him getting herbed by Cutty

But shyt is a bonafied classic IMO. I'll watch it whenever it's on

 

[detroitwalt]

Nope!

Not only did niccas watch it... They loved it!

Damn man let my niccas live B!!

As I was typing the above I had this quote open in another tab listening to the song. It was going off and fading into the next track and its "Walk on By" just like they played at the end. Nice coincedence.

The thing I like most about DP is how everybody involved lost their innocence piece by piece....Some said it was the effects of 'Nam that took a lot of lives away..for some others it was the decision to jack that truck that fukked up everything else even if Anthony felt like he had no other way to survive...

I couldn't call it at the time but now I think him choking out Juanita after the shyt with Cutty showed how far down Anthony and a lot of other men fell back then..Can't beat the man who's fukkin your lady or the system fukkin your life so u take it out on your woman/kids or do something u live to regret (heroin/blow, drinkin, the robbery)....

Personal classic. And the soundtrack makes it that much better. Never understood why it got the eh treatment critically.

Heavily slept on classic.....went to USMC boot camp shortly thereafter so i always hated the part where Cutty put hands on Anthony tho

 

[patscorpio]

classic

I think that's still true today unfortunately. Usually that's something that weak men do but Anthony was not a weak minded person in this movie so that made it worse IMO. Juanita did play a part in that though cause she was pushing the shyt out his buttons

This movie put me onto this dope old school ish

 

[jackswstd]

Classic movie IMO. Chris Tucker showed versatility and Larenz killed it

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Larenz is very underrated as an actor.

Also:

Always been a fan of Clifton Powell

 

[Robbo]

One of my favorite movies of all time.. constantly quoted between me and my brother/cousins. I had the soundtrack back then too, started out with Sly and the Family Stone on the first track. That was a classic soundtrack. I had the one that was a double album, vol. 1 and vol. 2.

 

[Monoblock]

One of my favorite movies and soundtracks of all time
