Hip Hop Movies

I was watching Brown Sugar earlier and I forgot how much I really enjoyed that movie. Using Hip Hop as a way to define the relationshipsbetween the characters and how they live their lives out. It was dope imo.

So I was wondering, what are some of your favorite Hip Hop movies? What do you think of some of the other movies that have come out and not done so well? Just generally, what are your thoughts on the matter of Hip Hop movies?

I think the only two "hip hop" films I've seen are Next Friday and some Basketball film where the dude couldn't do jump shots. But wtf everyone can do jump shots! :S

Wait, I don't think that was even a hip hop movie.

Hustle and Flow and 8 Mile and Get Rich Or Die Tryin(garbage movie) next friday definitely wasnt a hip hop movie although had Ice Cube.djwestwood

lol @ hustle & flow and 8 mile.

krush groove?

wildstyle?

SMH @ only one person mentioning Wildstyle so far.

Wildstyle is by far my favorite hip hop movie.

Second Juice, a damn damn good movie, with or without the hip-hop qualifier. You always hear about how good Tupac is in that movie, and when I watched it, he seemed pretty silly in the first half of it but he really became a menacing, fascinating character once the story got up on its feet. I really need to see Gridlock'd and Above the Rim. Haven't really seen many hip-hop movies, though. 8 Mile, yeah, though I must say I do like that a lot. It's a legitimately strong movie and performance by Eminem.Criminal5

Watch Gridlock'd its my fav film from with Pac.

Word,Pac owned in Gridlock'd.

Nobody mentions Prison Song? That movie was awesome. Fat Joe gets murdered by Q-Tip, and he ends up in jail, and his mother's somehow Mary J Blige. Giangio

Forgot about the movie. I hate how it ends:cry:
