So it turns out Dope is...pretty dope
!
Besides the fact the Regal I went to was pretty inherent about it (only one room showing it for the whole day n it's in the top floor with the escalator not working AND no bathroom
) and the whole N-word scene (overheard some brehettes turning c00n behind me with the whole "it's just a word" narrative
), enjoyed it.
Imagery reminded me a little of movies like Boys from the Hood with a modern twist
, soundtrack might go up there as one of the best in film history
, and they didn't go overboard with the drama.
N the ladies was lookin aight too
even Malcolm's mom woulda gotten it in her bus driver uniform
