      "Ride" (1998) Comedy/Drama Movie When Leta Evans (Melissa De Sousa), who has dreamed for years of being a music video director, becomes an assistant to a famous director, she wants to make a good impression. Her first job will be transporting the cast of a video from New York to Miami. However, due to a tight budget, they will have to travel by bus. The strict Poppa (Malik Yoba) watches out for the crew, but there is still ample opportunity for trouble -- which could end Leta's directing career before it begins.

    This was a low key classic. It might not have the critical acclaim of other movies that came out at that time but it probably aged better. It definitely makes me reminisce on those innocent days of trying to figure out how to talk to a girl you like, being scared of someone and having to overcome it and fight them, the pressures to break your virginity, school dances etc. It's always fun to go back to those times.

    I actually thought Stacy was a nice person. He won me over. He protected his sister, he made sure the boys were ok by taking them to the dance, He gave Mike his blessing, He’s faithful to his gf. Stacy was a good hood man. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    Also Stacy was in DOPE. The whole theater in NYC started screaming when he showed up on the screen. It was amazing.
