I wouldn't say that Jason was staying with his mom; I would say that his mom was staying with him.. Because it seemed as though he had a better job than his mother did. Plus he was the one with the car.. He was likely the one paying most of the bills in the house.. There are a lot of adults doing that very thing right now today.
great breakdowns for sure but Jason and Josh were from 3rd Ward and his mom worked at the original French's chicken and Lyrics from 5th Ward and worked at this is it soul food
Bigg Jah you,Kenn Edwin and your co-host Tone Price made my day with this review. I always believed Lonzo let Josh go because Jason was Josh's brother and he knew his sister Lyric had feelings for Jason. When Jason beat Lonzo up why wouldn't he tell the homies it was Jason and you guys touch on it a little; Lonzo had boundaries. Keep up the good work brothers!!
A “love virgin”. That was beautiful interpretation. Jason not being Mad Dogs son is a dope theory and makes a lot of sense. “What you’ve found is quiet in a world full of thunder” WHEW‼️ The fact that Larenz Tate’s brother doesn’t have a name in the movie OR in real life is sending me 🤣🤣🤣 It was Mos Def high school sex they were having😂😂😂 I agree. Casting did PHENOMENAL with baby Jason & Josh! The awards - Bokeem 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The fact that Jada Pinkett-Smith has to have it in her contract that she’s a bum and a bus must be present is HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣 Jason’s Lyric is 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 for me. A tragic love story. This was yet another great segment.
So on the strength of black voices discussing “black cinema” and the possibility that films like Woo, Class Act, South Central, Booty Call, and White men can’t jump get their episodes I’m subscribing!!
Everybody in the movie are not even from Texas. Im from Texas and I didn’t like how they made us like we’re some country bumpkins and we’re not. We don’t even talk like that.
Love the podcast and the reviews and conversation around these classic black films. The only critic I have as far as this review goes is being a native Houstonian I have to correct you all this film is set in 3rd Ward NOT 5the Ward so I just had to bring that to y’all’s attention but I love what y’all are doing. Carry on!
I was thinking of this movie and wondered if anyone reviewed it. Then found this channel...Wow!!! 2 of my favorite TH-camrs BigJah and Ken!!! This movie is CLASSIC, idc what people say!!! Third Ward hood classic!!! Stand up H-Town!!🔥🔥🔥💯 #Subscribed
I live in houston and still be blown away at how they shot it my pops from cashmere gardens so it remind me of my childhood going around houston with my pops mid 90s
Me being from Texas and growing up going to Houston on weekends, living in Houston and I have family in Houston, one thing that I did not like about this movie was people in Houston were not country as hell. This movie made us look like we were some country bumpkins. We’re not like that. If you ever been to Houston, the city is not like that and we don’t talk like that at all. People from Houston didn’t like this movie.
man i was just thinking this. I always assumed from the way the movie was shot and the accents that they were in Louisiana. I never saw the movie but it was always on in my house growing up. Literally found out today that the setting was spose to be Houston. Thank you for pointing this out.
@@MrBmick79 No problem. Im just speaking from a Texas native point of view. If you ever come to Houston, ask anyone about what they think of Jason’s Lyric. They’ll cringe about it lol. I just hate it when Hollywood would film in Atlanta and Miami and they’re treated just like regular normal cities but when it comes to filming movies in Texas, they portray us like we’re riding on horses everyday, milking cows, wearing cowboy hats and seeing yeehaa and shit smh. I tell people that in order for you to know about a city, you can’t judge it by watching films. You have to come visit and see for yourself.
@@SoulOfTheSouth facts bro! 1st time I ever went to L.A. to visit family and everyone we were introduced to thought I went to school on a horse. This was even after I told them I was from Dallas. Folks really was trippin like that before the internet
32 minutes in. I wonder if you will be make the connection of Jason asking Josh why he can't get right, and Bokeeems character in Life being named Can't Get Right 🤯
Y'all's evaluation if the ending was super interesting to me. I have ALWAYS interpreted the ending to be another one of Jason's dreams, because of the plane. Lyric dies, that's why she's in white. So while Jason may actually be on that bus in reality, Lyric is just a part of his fantasy as he finally gets out of town.
Speaking on the topic of country living , this definitely applies to black folks , I'm from Atlanta , my family is from Albany Ga , they pride themselves on living on top of each other , gossiping about other folks business , everything is convenient for them , it's just something I couldn't get used to
Her being stuck up just shows you how society reacts to beautiful ppl....her being fine still gave her a chip on her shoulder regardless of her circumstances 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
The cast sounded like they were fresh off the plantation with those accents. This was a ghetto Romeo & Juliett. Can we please get a review on the mirror movie of this one Sugar Hill?
R.I.P. Suzzanne Douglas
Though she didn’t haven’t many scenes they were important to story
Real shit 💯
“Who had the worst accent?” 😂 “Bokeem didn’t even try” 😂😂😂
Treach by far. 😂😂😂😂
Bokeem , the seen when he mom's threw away his food from the drug money , I just bought that Shaaat lmao 😂
NOT MY ROAST 😂😂😂
Allen Payne and Bokeem Woodbine had a run in the 90s.
I would love to see you guys review Blue Hill Avenue with Allen Payne
Underrated hood classic 2001
They need to for real!
Thank you!
Simon all day
Lisa Nicole Carson, better known as Ma Bell in the New Edition Story... Bigg Jah is right. That's a queen right there.
it’s no such thing as a “spoiler alert” when you’re reviewing a movie !! ppl shouldn’t watch a review if they never watched the movie.
FYI: It was filmed in the greater 3rd ward not 5th ward… that’s a big deal to the Southsiders of Houston
👌🏿
Why? What's the real difference?It's still ghetto and filled with ignorant black people.
D’Angelo wrote the Black Men United song on the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack.
I wouldn't say that Jason was staying with his mom; I would say that his mom was staying with him.. Because it seemed as though he had a better job than his mother did. Plus he was the one with the car.. He was likely the one paying most of the bills in the house.. There are a lot of adults doing that very thing right now today.
When they said Jason was staying with his mom they meant it as he felt the need to stay and take care of her vs leaving the city
The older gentleman that was doing spoken word on the street was dropping gems as well, didn’t realize it until I got older.
Yea he was I think he was a gem in the movie foreal 💯
You can't wipe it away 😅😅😅
Make sure y'all click the "Notify me" button! 2DAMAX!!!
Do “Dead Presidents” please and have Tony Baker on that episode.
great breakdowns for sure but Jason and Josh were from 3rd Ward and his mom worked at the original French's chicken and Lyrics from 5th Ward and worked at this is it soul food
As a native Texan, I feel like this movie got people twisted on what Houston is really like...
@@MrBmick79what y'all like? In the early 90s of course lol
Marti didn’t know her worth. She possessed wisdom, humor and beauty. She was also a good friend. She had great value!!!
That soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Y’all really know how to break down a movie! Extremely impressed every time!!! Keep it up!
Eddie Griffin is from KC not STL.. 🤣 And Jada Is from Baltimore not DC.
Everybody from the movie are not from Texas lol.

Jason was a Son-husband.
Jason was from 3rd ward lyric was from 5th ward
Yep
After watching Jae the fade critic brown sugar, she is definitely a good fit for the recast of Jason’s lyric.
The movie was in 3rd Ward in Houston.
The movie was done in the third ward not fifth ward 😮
24:47 spot on! My wife and I watched it last night. Another point is the random OG actually spitting poetry.
36:38 this supports the separate dad theory
When Alonzo took that watch from Josh though. classic
How a late Nigga going to tell time lmao 😂 dead

I would Love to see you guys review Original Gangstas with Shyheim
Mvp jada . her character drove the whole movie and them sex scenes was crazy
32 minutes in. I wonder if you will be make the connection of Jason asking Josh why he can't get right, and Bokeeems character in Life being named Can't Get Right 🤯
Jah was committed fr 🤣🤣

So while Jason may actually be on that bus in reality, Lyric is just a part of his fantasy as he finally gets out of town.
Thatz literally what I was thinking. Because he saw maddog, himself and Josh too in the field... IDK i have to Google it now🤔🤔🤔
Jah 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂 you went hard on Lyric for the no whip!
Jason wanted the magic back and josh couldn't get used to the mood swings
Ain’t no way Lyric was a virgin in this movie😂 She just never had a dude pipe her down like Jason did 💯😁😎
Y'all should do the movie caught up with bookem in it.
Do ABOVE THE RIM WITH Tupac and the soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They’ve already done Above The Rim
My nigga jah said slide in session lmao

Jay Ali for recast as bokeem woodbine
Jahh you redeemed this podcast with the "Bum Broad" take. She was acting stank the whole movie and goofy for no reason.
😂😂😂Bum Broad for sure
Love y'all perspectives. I'ma need y'all to do Menace II Society.... I'm tapped in to whatever y'all review tho... Much love
Eddie Griffin is from Kansas City Missouri not St Louis
I compare Jason's lyric with sugar hill because it's two movies about brothers out growing each other
Black men united... it will never happen again historical
Bro lyric was for the streets since Eves Bayou lol but I loved this movie review
Jada pinkett wasn’t in eve’s bayou
You’re probably talking about inkwell
@@markhorne6020 yea that’s the one lol I’m gettin old lol
All them people dealt with mental incarceration
Lyric has the mentality of a high percentage of black southern women of that era
🤣🤣🤣😂😂 Jah sticking to his guns lmao she was stuck up damnit
Her being stuck up just shows you how society reacts to beautiful ppl....her being fine still gave her a chip on her shoulder regardless of her circumstances 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Eddie from Kansas City lol thats my city!!
Tone Bell as Jason
Jada played herself🤣🤣
YG as Alonzo
It was actually set in 3rd Ward
39:15 I honestly thought the boy Mad Dog beat was supposed to be Treach as a kid.
Y'all should do Menace II Society
Yo since when was Houston the country?
The cast sounded like they were fresh off the plantation with those accents. This was a ghetto Romeo & Juliett. Can we please get a review on the mirror movie of this one Sugar Hill?
Do Caught Up movie, Deep Cover, Romeo Must Die. Also Bokeems first movie Strapped.

Amazing show but when we getting blue hill Ave or hoodlum!!!
Y’all gotta do Soul Food
Jason lyric was in 3rd ward not 5th ward
Yep you’re right.
I agree , I'd take omari Hardwick or ole boy who played Dre in the power , Rattami I think his name is
Trevante Rhodes for Alonzo
The Mack gotta be on here too
Next movie y’all should do is Mo betta blues
Big jahh ...a request for the crew to review jungle fever bro
