I met him at the laundromat in Berwyn He was with his wife and maybe one or two kids.of his. I went to him And I ask him are you from Cooley High and he laughed. SO he said yes... Got his autograph and a picture about 7 years ago. Good memorie
@@lelemarie6125 Man, tell your uncle he damn near took over the whole movie! I had a crush on him watching this movie on TV as a little girl. "Uh. I wahn't e'en talkin' to you." 🤭🤣
That was a good interview this man is a legend. A real ORIGINAL GANGSTER. IN THE 70s I am watching COOLEY HIGH KNOW. 06/13/2021 ON THE GRIO CHANNEL. LOL.HE IS A COOL DUDE .♥️♥️🌞
Joining the military is a get out now strategy. A few of my friends in VA did the same thing. When its hot time to bounce. I enjoyed this interview. Legend 🔥
Thank you for this! I am only 34 years young, however this is My Granny's fav movie so I've been hearing these sounds since she carried my mother! Yesss I even dyed my hair in high school because of Brenda. I begged my mother and told her it was only because of Brenda, and that year I would be turning 17 years young. Cooley High Will always be that movie! Blessings to everyone here 🧡
The truth of the matter is that most of the "actors" in Cooley High weren't professional actors at all. The director stressed realism so much that he wanted actual characters to play the parts. Turman, Morris and Jacobs were the only real actors.
@@melvinpruitt3907 IDK about Steven Williams, but Townsend's role was so small in that movie that he wasn't even credited for that role, and he only had one small line. If you look at the profile of this movie on IMDb, you'll note that most of the "actors" in this movie only have this film on their resume. Even Garret Morris was cast for this role largely because he had been a NYC public high school teacher before he took up acting.
The epilogues at the end was referring to the characters in the movie, not in real life. However, Norman Gibson ("Robert") was killed in real life just over a year after the movie was released in 1975.
January 2003 Hey man!!! my input is, I'm a product of Cabrini-Green and doing that era and age group I was also ah hood--rat. and I remember Norman, Rick Stone's partner-in-crime in the movie and in real life, On the streets in Cabrini-Green. Rick Stone was the impulsive hype-guy who got shit started. His partner-in-crime "Normem" was always a just a follower, Under Rick Stone. Norman, He never initiated any aggression without Rick Stone backin' ,who being the impulsive hype guy of the two. At some point Norman, he got caught-up in a dice game stick-up situation while Rick was not present and being alone, without Rick Stone his Ops seized the opportunity to delete him. For me Doing that time none of our dice games got stuck-up by Rick or Norman or his crew. To this day Rick survives to tell some of his the story of what it was like growing up in Cabrini. If you really want to know some more biographical background on Cabrini-Green he also, would also be the one to interview. The problem is remembrance of the downside of life in the projects. And then there's an upside of "Good Times"that no one refers too. I lived both sides of Cabrini-Green's infamy. Theres Curtis Mayfield,, Eric Monte, Bruce c. Conn, Jesse White, Alexander Nelson, Kenny Mitchel, John Woodard, and then there's myself Freddie Brown.
Hermene Hartman yep there's a guy in Cali that interviews original G's (crip and blood)about the origins and history of the gangs...the channel is Kev Mac videos....the videos are great info on the history...check them out....i think it was Barefoot Pookie who said it...but it definitely came from one of the originals.
When Stone said "I'm going to stomp ya ears together" I felt that everytime. I wondered who would've wrote such a non Hollywood line like that. Now I realize they was just being authentic. Good times man 😂
The catch wid Cooley High is i laughed all through the whole movie and at the end I'm sad as Hell and didn't know why until recently..Reason that's just the way it is in real life sometimes often times.Great film. Oh snap and I was at the original showing in 1975..And the Blackstone Rangers had made their way all the way to a lil city Called Htfd Ct
January 2022-23 The real people's and surviving members of Cabrini-Green have yet to appear discussing Cabrini-Green. Of Its tenants and residents, few have yet spoken or given documented testimonies. All you've been left with is this third-party conjecture. So far, what you have and what you read is an incomplete, narrow-distortion Of what it was like to have lived and survived the experience. Rick gives a glamorized, irresponsible, gloss-over of his youth. Even as he expounds, I get it! , he's still caught-up, in a product of his impoverished youth. He exudes his value and self-worth. In spite of his oppression. There's no sadness, no blame, no remorse. He's telling us "It is what it is" I can still live my best life, I'm still here. And so many of my contemporaries didn't make it, in spite of. Perhaps one day a more concise perspective will be revealed in the storytelling of Cabrini-Green.
We have two class of men crimefest and wanna be right all the time...speaking from experience l dated both class of men, the true to life and protect men are the ones that were crimefest and changed...but knew how to think to get around the system, without getting into any trouble they're understanding with compassion...but stayed on point, the wanna be right men (some, not all) l dated were somewhat terrible and l had to put them in their place for trying to disrespect men...a man that has two more dollars then you or the average man in the street, were mean and nasty...try to degrade you in front of people, even try to hit you but in my case l hit back and l will grab the heaviest object to knock you out...they want to detail your whereabouts, that was because that individual was insecure and never had friends...since l stayed busy and was popular back in my day, they were very insecure and when you ever date a man like that you've to walk away...because if you allow a man that claim they love you so much, it should never be drama and being in combat mode is not safe or a healthy to no fun relationship...so grateful for Stone to be real about his lifestyle and there is a better way in life!!!
I bet lawrence hilton jacobs Is still mad the way he died the way he did in the movie, And he only died because Glenn Turman is the one that caused it by snitching but you know and then he got to pay for it.
Great to see this brother still alive and striving 👍Cooley High 4ever.
This is striving?
@@mrp9507 make great efforts to achieve or obtain something is the meaning of Striving.What seems to be your problem with that?🤔
@@mrp9507 I think that you have the words Striving and Thriving misconstrued" 🤔
@melvinpruitt3907 no I think that your interpretation of doing well is that of a ghetto person and we will agree to disagree. Goodbye!
@@melvinpruitt3907 You're definition is that of a ghetto person. it is what it is!
God Bless this Brother "ah nah, I wahn't e'en talkin ta you" real subtle but one of the dopest lines in cinema
💯🙏🏼
IKR! My FAVORITE line!
I met him at the laundromat in Berwyn He was with his wife and maybe one or two kids.of his. I went to him And I ask him are you from Cooley High and he laughed. SO he said yes... Got his autograph and a picture about 7 years ago. Good memorie
before MENACE TO SOCIETY ….. before BOYZ N THE HOOD, before JUICE …….. there was a movie called - COOLEY HIGH …...
Classic film. PLEASE DON'T REMAKE, REBOOT or Redo
Yeah, i heard a remake is being made.....ughh!!
Boys in the hood was the remake
Q
Yeah. Leave Cooley High and Claudine Alone.
Rick Stone is a real cool dude. Great interview!! Thanks for posting
BlindArthurBlake thanks for watching
Rick is a really good guy
Amazing. Real Chicago History. Love my City and its Culture.
No fucking doubt wouldnt change it for nothing. Love my city Chicago westside all day
Yes sir!
He is a cool guy.. I would love to meet him.. this movie is one of the best ever.. RIP Robert
@Keisha Murphy I feel the same way about you.😍😂✌🏾
He's my uncle. Add me on Facebook to stay in tune, I'm trying to get him to do a small tour. So many people want to meet him. Facebook Aelicia Carr
@@lelemarie6125 Man, tell your uncle he damn near took over the whole movie!
I had a crush on him watching this movie on TV as a little girl.
"Uh. I wahn't e'en talkin' to you." 🤭🤣
Rick Stone Bleeds "COOL" When I was in 5th Grade and Cooley High came out, We all wanted to be Stone and Robert!
"We can stick the whole joint up"😂😂😂😂
Growing up I knew some brothers like Stone and Robert. When I saw Cooley High I recognized the realism in their portrayals. A+
Stone and Robert the O.G.s of Chicago!
Moral of the story, give these struggling blacks a job and they'll straighten up.
You can't forget those lips.
He had a missing tooth in the movie. Very convincing in his role.
He wasn’t acting
Great watch!! Cooley High was before my time but pure nostalgic and I watch it often. I laugh throughout. I still cry at the end.
That was a good interview this man is a legend. A real ORIGINAL GANGSTER. IN THE 70s I am watching COOLEY HIGH KNOW. 06/13/2021 ON THE GRIO CHANNEL. LOL.HE IS A COOL DUDE .♥️♥️🌞
His name is Sherman Smith, and as far as I'm concerned, he was the real star of "Cooley High."
Lawrence Hilton Jacob probably still mad about that.
lainey wright I literally laughed out loud at that part.
No wonder he be frowned thee hell up.🤣
The ending of the movie I really thought he did died n 1966
You either gone make me or break me classic movie😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i knew they was real Gangstas!!!!
That's allegedly killed cochise ?
Stone is a good Kool Dude
Lmfaoooo they was whooping Cochise ass for real 💀💀💀💀💀💀 I'm dead
Too some of us from the hood,you Better Break it down like a 5th grader too get a CLEAR understanding.😂

Tóp 1O movies of all time top 5 Black movies of all time
Would love to just hear him discuss the movie and Chicago street stories✊🏾

Joseph Carter Wilson and Lynn Caradine were also both in the Monkey Hustle.
@@melvinpruitt3907 And those were the only roles they played outside of Colley, and they received those roles because of their connection to Townsend
It is a hood classic regardless though ,one of my all time favorites besides (CLAUDINE)
LOL @ 4:57 "Aw, I wasn't even talking to you"
"I wooden even talkn to youuuu"! Lol
You knew they was wild
''I Gonna Stomp Your Ears Together!!!''
Wow I always thought Stone and Roberts were dead

He is so animated and a good story teller .... I smiled the whole time I watched him. Hate to hear his buddy didnt make it.
Great interview!

Pabst20 Pabst I’m familiar with Kev Brown videos. They’re great. Thanks for letting me know that. Rick would love to know that.
When Stone said "I'm going to stomp ya ears together" I felt that everytime. I wondered who would've wrote such a non Hollywood line like that. Now I realize they was just being authentic. Good times man 😂
