Blassic movie - I saw the lead actor at a bank in downtown Newark, depositing stacks and stacks of cash. Pulling the money out of a bag and setting it right in front of the teller at a desk. One of my “celebrity” sighting moments.

You’re bugging. Both of those movies were underrated classicsThis was the era when the soundtrack was better than the movie. What you gonna post next, Biker Boyz?
Yup. But I never watched that movie.
Love Jones was set in Chicago 
In Too Deep was set in Cincinnati even though the God character was from New Jersey.

Films set on the east coast was better because they focused on the people and how their environment shaped them.
After Boyz n the Hood, a lot of west coast films played too much into the violence.

These are just a illustration / of a few scenes that helped raise a generation 
Ol’Otis
The Picasso of the Ghetto
Outside of Menace
I can’t name any
You right but the grittiness of the east coast especially in the 90s can't be matched.
LA hoods are bad but it's something about seeing palm trees that make you go
Whereas towering buildings, urban decay, and the concrete jungle makes you go
In Too Deep was nothing but a New York cast with LL playing a dude from Jersey that took over the drug game in Ohio..
And dope soundtrack
