What is the definition of a 'hood' movie before we keep going? Does it mean excessive violence? Or takes place in a bad neighborhood?

Excessive violence

 

[FreshAIG]

My is probably Do The Right Thing or Friday.

Hoop Dreams is incredible too.

The Wood easily for me.

Wood House Party Class Act and Houseguest all come to mind. Houseguest might not count since Sinbad was the only nikka in the movie lol.

Life and Higher Learning get love too

The Inkwell was my shyt. Lots of fine sisters in that.

Yes and YES. that movie was pure dopeness. The music, the casting, the SISTAS
