All cast members mentioned New Line Cinema told cube let them pitch the movie ( finance) and he agreed which made the movie 30mil? Nobody got paid really until the sequels

Second, everyone got some shine after the movie

Bearnie Mac- Players Club, BAPS. Moesha, How to Be a Player, Original Kings of Comedy, Beanrie Mac Show....
AJ Johnson- Players Club, I Got The Hookup, Hotz Boyz, O, How to Be a Player
Puala Jai Parker- Tales From the Hood, Sprung, Don't Be A Menace, Trudy from Proud Family, Hustle and Flow....
Faizon Love- Tha Parent Hood tv show, BAPS, Players Club, Torque, Idlewild, Black-ish

I guess b level but all of them were a level funny, i heard AJ never went past hood love because of himself, Bernie i forgot about him he got A level blow up

Its business. Its not like the movie was a bug budget. Its crazy because NOW its franchise but at the time, they thought the movie was gonna bomb

I know, imagine if they negotiated a percentage instead of that 2-5g check

Peabo could sing his ass off. I met him at the mall in ATL back in 03
:ehh:

Too bad his most famous joint is that garbage from Beauty and the Beast
:hhh:
Whole new world is fire. Even if it's the only song a newcomer to Peabo's music knows of. His catalog is deep and the man's voice has become better over the years, which is mindblowing to me.

It’s a shame they won’t bring movie screenings or new artists to HBCUs anymore.


I miss real slow jams, and I like that this has lowkey turned into a Peabo Bryson appreciation thread.
:salute:

I call that Supermarket music. My local grocery market will play that song,
Tina Turners “I Don’t wanna Fight no More” and Simply Red “ Holding Back the Years”

Who would ever have known, also it’s crazy like no one made money from the movie from the cast, and only tucker/cube/nia(but i feel like boyz in the Hood got nia on) really blew up i guess pops and mom

2,200 5,000 and I forgot how much Paula said she made but that's wild

Its business. Its not like the movie was a bug budget. Its crazy because NOW its franchise but at the time, they thought the movie was gonna bomb

Not only that, but I don't think rappers were making that much money to cut them each a crazy check like that. Rappers weren't super ballin buying lambos and shyt like that @ the time. That big budget shyt didn't really pop off till a couple years later
