Rewatching sugar Hill gonna put a couple thoughts

[RickyDiBiase]

Real question is ....why can't we get this quality of black cinema anymore? Why they keep firch4 that Tyler Daniels nonsense on us

Sugar Hill is just another dime a dozen drug dealer movie with some style.

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

Blue Hill avenue was a terrible knock off of Sugar Hill.

I liked the switch up from 80’s truck jewelry flashy hustlers to more professional suit wearing hustlers
I never heard the word akata before i watched SH
The scene when they shoot the Italian guy singing love t.k.o was my favorite scene
Overall it was a good movie that showed pre gentrification New York City

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Easy let’s not get carried away

Sugar Hill got way better acting performances and story

Also as much as I like NJC it's low-key goofy at times and unrealistic starting with the very opening scene

A coli breh called it an “anti drug” flick

Looking back he’s definitely right

 

[Ol’Otis]

It's up there, but we got to have a talk about Lil J-Rock from South Central:



Breh had a bowl cut with no blend and a tail in the back! They did that kid FILTHY!

That tail was AI generated

 

[Ol’Otis]

a less stereotypical look at the hustler

I was just thinking
I don’t we ever had an accurate depiction of the drug trade

They’ve always been cartoonish and just over the top

Dog that scene defined a generation. The jeeps the gear even that st st studdering mf Radio Raheem “rocka bye babee”

When Romello punked Lolly at his gym, nikka thought it was gon be one way

It was weird how each one of those dudes stopped and stared at him right on queue one by one.

 

[Problematic Pat]

Yes it does the jazz sets it off




That nikka knew, “i don’t chase girls, they chase after me”




Do it



Man, them nikkas knew, oh y’all on some bs, we all criminals but some how you better

Well Nigerian criminals did force there way into becoming one of the 5 families in southern Italys mob scene so technically they are better criminals.

Romello had them nikkas practicing at the hq before they went through

Power is the biggest factor, but them nikkas weren’t on shyt

Hollywood is a weird place

 

[DropTopDoc]

That’s low down they killed goggles

Mello tell her stay in the car, she so busy asking questions just tell him I can’t drive, but she got her nosey ass out to find him

 

[DropTopDoc]

The jazz that was hella up beat when Ray was ready to gut lolly pure piff

 

[DropTopDoc]

The nikka in the hoody at the boxing gym was looking like choppa style

 

[DropTopDoc]

Why tf Ray pants so ghat damn high when he was having dinner with his dad
