my shit, but im a little hesitant to include it.
 
The Wood is one of my favs. It's a lot better than half the other movies on that list.





I forgot about Strapped. I remember it being cheesy back then. Probably even worse now
 
In time certian flicks were made that were for Black Folk but not centered around the "hood", like G which is based in the Hamptons and is based on the Great Gatsby. Richard T. Jones vs Blair Underwood.





along those lines are Love And Basketball, Waiting To Exhale, and anything with Taye Diggs.





gotta be careful.

yeah, i was gon say, half of inglewood is kinda nice, but i never saw that movie so i cant really say.

Colors was about two white cops.




hahaha!








word
