    The problem was that so many dudes saw Menace, treated it solely as entertainment, and straight up continued to act the same way the characters in the movie did. The shit was baffling when I was younger. It was an obvious cautionary tale, but I really don't think cats digested it for what it was. I mean, you had Kurupt saying sht like "I'm going out looney like O-Dog". What kind of goofy sht was that? When I was younger I wrote "Niggas grew up on Menace and missed the fckin' point/No wonder they're six feet under or got football numbers in the joint." The whole movie can be summed up with what Pernell said during the jailhouse visit .. "You teach him better than I taught you, man. Teach him the way we grew up was bullshit.". Mfers did not take heed.

      Baby boy is like a national tale. A little young guy trying to be grown, making pseudo-adult decisions while lacking maturity. Lazy, entitled, irresponsible, and selfish. This movie was basically about my cousin and a few of my uncles. That shit was so relatable, no matter what part of the country we are, everyone knows a Jodie.

    If you make it out the hood and poverty and look back at how you lived and thought, it fills you with immense sadness. The world was so small and now i can acknowledge that I lived with immense incessant fear, both of what i was willing to do to someone and what someone could do to me. Had a psychotic break when i hit 27, and couldn’t even understand how I was still alive. I’m straight now, mostly, and go to therapy when the need calls. I’m 36 now grateful to be alive and I’m a High school principal right back in the hood making nearly 200k with a wife and kid. I drop down to my knees every so often and cry, thanking the all mighty Im still alive.

      I’m happy for you brother and thank you for sharing. Continue to give back to the young men of your community when you can, they need positive models in their life. I grew up very rough as well. I ended up joining the military, this yr makes 16 years. I happen to be a “teacher” right now, on instructor orders, teaching new accessions their job. I get knuckle heads every few months and I find myself pulling them in and sharing my story and experience to get them on a better path. They need us.

    • @TheLastNewYorker

      40 years old this past March. I too broke down at 25 when I made it past 18 and didn't know how. Looking back I'm grateful I had my grandma to give me the "rules of the game when you're a Black boy" and also keeping it real and telling what i needed to hear, not what i wanted to although TV and my environment did the heavy lifting. Not everyone is so lucky, and They designed it that way. #itsallProvidence

    Odog was traumatized
    that character most likely grew up in a fatherless household and suffered abused by his mother figure thus leading to extreme anger issues as a child,fistfights at school led to picking up a gun then that turned into gang affiliation,he was searching for love and acceptance like many other black males in the ghetto

      ​@@aliensyndrome4280 Truth 💯 I grew up not just around it but I was involved in it.. I was around the shooters and the killers (There's a Difference between the 2 💯) and these Movies 🎥 can't show but so much and Don't show the REAL UGLY side to this shit and just how Ugly it can get 💯 They don't show the Feelings that's involved or... Anything.. They show the "cool" part about it.. but not so much the consequences.. Shit can get Real Ugly in the streets and some of them niggas be Real Deal Killers 💯 Most of the bodies dropping are coming from a select few people that have a Thirst for blood after they tasted it and know how to get away 💯 Not that that police really give a Fuck about solving murders anyway.. so.. Those Movies showed SOME but unless you REALLY been INVOLVED, you'll realize that they barely scratching the surface of this shit 💯 for instance we all got an insight on that Chicago Drill shit and who the killers and ect ect but I know enough to know that it's ALOT deeper than these people saying it is and alot of mfs got it wrong on who than did what to who.. Even the ones that they got right, it's more to it than they think it is as an Outsider looking in rather than someone in the mix that knows the details.. Even in my own city.. It's beefs going on so when Certain mfs die everybody automatically think these people did it when whole time they didn't and the mfs who really did it are a branch off from the beef and they hanging with y'all and they killed y'all man's 💯 Shit Gets Deep 💯 I know enough to know that the Main killers aren't the ones that's popular.. the real killers blend in and don't pop out as much.. It's Rare for a killer to gain alot of Fame 💯 Real Killers don't like that attention..

    On the DVD commentary, the Hughes Brothers state that the film was made for entertainment purposes and not to be educational. They drew all the inspiration from “Goodfellas” and their environment, there are many similarities between the two films. Caine narrates his life just like Henry did. However ,in most recent years, the Hughes Bros. revealed that they made Menace to show White people how a black kid can become a product of their environment. They also used the violence in Italian mob movies to show the hypocrisy in American cinema. Caine lies in the hospital trying to recover from being shot and watches old gangster movies.

It could be a movie that keeps it a brick, with no glorification. We all know if we have experience in the streets or any hood USA, that we all got a Idgaf Savage in our hood, and initially we think he is the hardest thing going, in and out of prison, got h03s, got all that real N energy, then we get older, and find out dude was flaming the entire time.

I personally know dudes who grew up in single parent households and they are extremely immature and actually have feminine qualities...Like jealousy, gossiping etc. I don't really hangout with dudes who come from single parent households raised by women. A lot of those dudes are very dependent on their wives and it's like their wives are head of household. They never seen a man leading.

Men in the home STILL expect the women to only raise the children. In africa when husbands die the little boys still behave more manly than frown men. They fetch water hunt for food and take care of their families while young. In america yall are still being breastfed. The government paying for your housing fast food all around working water,light and gas. The complaining has to stop. Real masculine men are in africa with sometimes no parents at all. I dont feel bad for no man with a poverty victim mindset.

    It was lowkey a weird movie. The two main characters were evil. O dog shot and killed a store clerk/owner for absolutely no reason and was happy/proud of it. Cained knocked up a girl, denied the child, and stomped out her family member who tried to stand up for her. Caine, who was already riding in a nice car, robbed a guy he didn't know for his rims. They were literally Menaces to Society...yet at the end we were supposed to feel some type of way about them getting shot? Other than Caine being there for Jada's character, which was also slimy since that was his incarcerated friends' ex, neither of the main characters had a single redeeming quality. Never seen that before in any movie. The absurdity of it was why it was so easy to make a comedy loosely based on it.

    As a 38-year-old male who was raised in a middle class neighborhood and is not very street smart, this movie spoke volumes. One scene in particular that stood out to me, was when Caine stomped out Ilena's cousin. It reminded me of a physical altercation that I apparently almost provoked with a Latino family in the projects where I had a haircut appointment. As I was entering the building, a guy was walking toward the exit while pushing a stroller. The mother was with them, as well as their daughter (approximately nine or ten years old) who led the way. So I held the door for them. The little girl said, "Good day to you, sir." I smiled/nodded and said "Good day to you, too." Her mother, however, showed absolutely no gratitude, and instead just walked past me, followed by her father who "sized me up." My lack of street smarts was especially evident on another day when my barber was running late. I texted "I rang your doorbell, but nobody answered. I'm in front of your building." He replied, "My dad opened the door, so you can come up and wait for me. Don't stand down there. A lot of dumb stuff happens, and I don't want you to get caught up in the middle of something. The neighborhood has its ups and downs, if you know what I mean."
    I can't help but wonder if I overstepped my boundaries with that family. Trust me when I say I wouldn't have said anything to their daughter if she didn't display that verbal act of kindness. So I had absolutely no malicious intentions, and therefore was just politely responding back. Or was her dad's unsettling manner just his "hood instincts." Do people who live in rough neighborhoods automatically treat every stranger like a suspect?

      Wow. Ironically, when I told an ex on Facebook who I reconnected with, that I moved into my own place, she congratulated me... until I told her where I moved. She responded, "Oh... um... you know what? I'm not gonna say anything." Of course, she wanted me to pry as to what's on her mind. Otherwise, she would've changed the subject. And naturally, I was curious, which I really regretted, because she said, "Why'd you move THERE? That's like glorified projects." My regret is not out of fear of where I live, but rather the fact that she totally rained on my parade (feeling accomplished; another stepping stone in my life, etc.). Like, who does that? Anyway, she's basically a real-life Peter Griffin -- always speaks her mind, which is why I cut ties with her after that subtle insult. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. As for the irony, nobody in my building acts like that guy in the projects, because it's a very calm, family-friendly environment where no gang members stray. So I don't know where my ex got the idea that I was living in a ghetto area.@@socalsocal88

    it like 8 said peer pressure is a mofo and its not your enemies you have to worry about its your friends. Imagine going to jail and deciding to change your life when you get out. But your friends keep coming to check you, and you dont have sense yet to leave cause your family and the one you created is all you have and leaving means you have nothing but to start over. You get a job your taking care of your family , and your friends now decide you not a crook son you just a shook one , all you did for them does not matter , all the times you put your life on the line for them does not matter, all the bread you broke with them does not matter , what matter to them is your not the same person and they can treat and talk to you any way they want, next move is to bump you off. Imagine then coming to the conclusion they think you are soft and and eventually will move on you, all because you change your life, now imagine leaving a job paying you more than you thought was possible and the decision to go back to the streets to earn that respect and wolf instinct in order to stand a chance hold your ground , cause you know that s the only shot you have to Live. Now you have to once again show and prove. My point is you can change your life but that does not mean life wont change you especially to Live.
