Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club, the show that harmonizes the rhythm of hip hop with the magic of movies.
2
00:00:07,291 --> 00:00:11,875
Today we're discussing the film and TV career of hip hop legend Ice Cube.
3
00:00:12,416 --> 00:00:16,875
We are three old heads who put their old heads together to vibe on these films for you.
4
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:19,625
I'm DynoWright, podcaster, filmmaker,
5
00:00:19,625 --> 00:00:24,500
longtime hip-hop fan, and without these next two guys, I am Kool-Aid without the sugar.
6
00:00:26,125 --> 00:00:28,583
I'm JB 80s and 90s nostalgia junkie
7
00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:30,916
longtime hip-hop fan and
8
00:00:30,916 --> 00:00:35,458
One two three and I come with the wicked style and you know that I'm from the wicked crew
9
00:00:35,458 --> 00:00:37,166
act like you knew Cuz I got
10
00:00:37,166 --> 00:00:39,625
everybody jumping to the voodoo kick it
11
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,375
Yes sir, yes sir.
12
00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:45,458
Nice, nice.
13
00:00:45,458 --> 00:00:48,750
I'm Boogie, a DJ, long time hip hop fan.
14
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:52,208
And I remember when the subject of this episode first hit the scene,
15
00:00:52,208 --> 00:00:55,250
I used to dress just like him in the videos, minus the Jheri curl.
16
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:59,250
I mean, I stayed with a Raiders, a Kings or a White Sox fitted.
17
00:01:01,375 --> 00:01:06,583
In this episode, we are taking a close look at Ice Cube's lengthy acting career and beyond.
18
00:01:08,708 --> 00:01:10,750
Here are three takeaways on Ice Cube.
19
00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:15,083
One, Ice Cube is more versatile as an actor than you might realize.
20
00:01:15,541 --> 00:01:18,916
Two, even as his acting career has evolved in surprising ways,
21
00:01:18,916 --> 00:01:22,125
he has stayed true and authentic to himself.
22
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:26,750
Number three, his career also evolved to include founding the Big Three,
23
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:28,875
a basketball league with former NBA players
24
00:01:28,875 --> 00:01:31,041
and other entrepreneurial projects.
25
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:34,416
All right, let's get right into Ice Cube.
26
00:01:35,291 --> 00:01:39,041
He's forged quite a career for himself.
27
00:01:39,041 --> 00:01:45,750
He's starting out as a hip hop star and taking the world by storm on the big screen.
28
00:01:46,458 --> 00:01:50,458
Made his debut in the 1991 film Boyz N the Hood,
29
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:54,541
which was directed by John Singleton and he played Doughboy.
30
00:01:54,625 --> 00:01:59,916
And right away it was just a smooth transition from music to acting.
31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,833
and that opened up so many more doors for him
32
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:04,291
and an amazing career.
33
00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:09,416
Boogie, you want to take us through a little bit more of the versatility
34
00:02:09,416 --> 00:02:12,291
that he has shown as an actor from that role and going
35
00:02:12,291 --> 00:02:15,500
forward and how he's become the household name as an
36
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:16,666
actor as well?
37
00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:17,166
Yeah, sure.
38
00:02:17,166 --> 00:02:18,041
Absolutely.
39
00:02:18,041 --> 00:02:20,791
So, you know, he's played in some action roles.
40
00:02:20,791 --> 00:02:29,291
He's played opposite JLo, Jennifer Lopez in the film Anaconda, which, you know, is of course about a giant anaconda.
41
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,500
Starred in Three Kings, which is a movie that takes place in the Middle East.
42
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:40,333
He plays a soldier with a group of other soldiers who are trying to steal some gold that belonged to Saddam Hussein.
43
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:44,041
He played in a sequel, xXx State of the Union, the sequel to the
44
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:47,958
triple X franchise that starred Vin Diesel.
45
00:02:47,958 --> 00:02:49,833
So you know what kind of role that is.
46
00:02:50,541 --> 00:02:52,916
And then he's got some buddy cop roles,
47
00:02:52,916 --> 00:02:55,958
And then he's got some buddy cop roles, All About the Benjamins opposite Mike Epps
48
00:02:55,958 --> 00:02:58,375
in the Ride Along franchise with Kevin Hart,
49
00:02:58,375 --> 00:03:01,000
some dramatic roles in Higher Learning.
50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,916
Another John Singleton film, which
51
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:07,833
we've talked about before, and it takes place on a college campus, Trespass,
52
00:03:07,833 --> 00:03:10,708
which also features another hip hop artist, Ice Cube.
53
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:11,791
Ice T, I'm sorry.
54
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:14,375
The Glass Shield.
55
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:18,750
And then he's got some family-friendly movies like, you know, the Are We There Yet?
56
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:21,583
and his follow-up sequel, The Long Shots,
57
00:03:21,583 --> 00:03:25,375
which also stars him as a football coach.
58
00:03:25,416 --> 00:03:30,625
Keke Palmer plays the team's quarterback in that film, a pretty funny movie.
59
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,041
So yeah, he's, you know, he's done a lot of roles and in most
60
00:03:35,041 --> 00:03:38,458
of this generation, the younger generation probably doesn't even know that he was in...
61
00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:42,833
a hip hop artist, they probably just think he's always been an actor in some way, or form,
62
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:45,583
or a producer or writer of some sort in film.
63
00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:49,666
They probably didn't even realize that he was started off penning a lot of
64
00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:57,416
the lyrics for the group NWA and having his own solo career, very successful solo career as well.
65
00:03:58,208 --> 00:03:59,916
But yeah, he's definitely a household name.
66
00:03:59,916 --> 00:04:02,500
Like he's pretty well known.
67
00:04:03,041 --> 00:04:03,750
Yeah, big time.
68
00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:05,000
Big time.
69
00:04:06,291 --> 00:04:09,125
DynoWright, any of those movies resonate with you?
70
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:12,208
I think the one that resonates the most is Friday.
71
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:18,500
And maybe people know him from memes related to Friday.
72
00:04:19,291 --> 00:04:23,458
that movie in particular, and we did review this movie, so you can go back and check that out.
73
00:04:23,541 --> 00:04:26,791
But cult classic, it was funny then.
74
00:04:26,791 --> 00:04:28,291
It's still funny now.
75
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:32,458
And there are still times where I think about
76
00:04:32,583 --> 00:04:35,875
or use lines in that movie in my daily speech.
77
00:04:36,291 --> 00:04:37,541
Absolutely.
78
00:04:37,791 --> 00:04:41,166
I always run afraid of running out of milk at home.
79
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:44,958
I don't have milk with no cereal or Kool-Aid with no sugar.
80
00:04:45,833 --> 00:04:47,000
It's like life lesson.
81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,500
Make sure you have both.
82
00:04:48,583 --> 00:04:49,083
Oh yeah.
83
00:04:49,833 --> 00:04:56,083
Yeah, so many pop culture references, the bye Felicia we talked about at length.
84
00:04:56,625 --> 00:04:58,708
How you gonna get fired on your day off?
85
00:05:00,416 --> 00:05:02,708
That still hits home, it's so funny.
86
00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:04,291
if I've ever been fired on my day off.
87
00:05:04,291 --> 00:05:07,708
I don't think so, but I have to think about that.
88
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:11,291
How do you get fired on your day off?
89
00:05:12,083 --> 00:05:14,625
man, I got fired on my on lunch break.
90
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:22,083
Think about he went from starring as Doughboy
91
00:05:22,083 --> 00:05:28,833
and that was 1992 or 91 and then his next real big project was
92
00:05:28,833 --> 00:05:31,250
writing and co-starring in Friday.
93
00:05:31,625 --> 00:05:32,333
Amazing! And this sets it sets him
94
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:33,416
Amazing! And this sets it sets him
95
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:41,708
up for such such success Because it's such a good movie and when we talked about this in our review of it, but it
96
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:44,041
It is a stoner comedy, but there is a heart to it.
97
00:05:44,041 --> 00:05:47,208
Especially in the end, we see
98
00:05:47,208 --> 00:05:48,291
themes of
99
00:05:48,291 --> 00:05:49,500
father-son love that
100
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,333
it's hard to find sometimes in movies about
101
00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:53,666
urban experiences.
102
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:54,750
Yeah.
103
00:05:54,750 --> 00:06:00,666
The name Deebo lives on, like the wide receiver for the 49ers that Boogie's a big fan of.
104
00:06:00,666 --> 00:06:05,125
Deebo Samuel, he got his nickname from Deebo, his character, Tiny Lister.
105
00:06:05,708 --> 00:06:07,375
It just keeps.
106
00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:10,083
Whenever I need to hide something, I think “oh Deebo’s coming!”
107
00:06:10,791 --> 00:06:12,041
I gotta hide something.
108
00:06:12,375 --> 00:06:12,666
Yup.
109
00:06:14,125 --> 00:06:14,708
It’s funny, it’s
110
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:19,833
like, you know, you anytime you hear like something squeaky, it always makes you think of that daggone bike.
111
00:06:19,833 --> 00:06:21,166
He was riding on.
112
00:06:24,041 --> 00:06:28,291
I remember I was at work and something was in the vent, something in the vent was squeaking.
113
00:06:28,291 --> 00:06:32,333
I kept looking up like, and I kind of pictured a bike coming down the street.
114
00:06:32,333 --> 00:06:35,875
It's like, wait a minute, bike coming between the cubicles.
115
00:06:36,083 --> 00:06:37,625
Ha ha ha ha!
116
00:06:38,833 --> 00:06:40,333
Ah man. Yeah.
117
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,583
I think Ice Cube did a lot to put these buddy movies on the map
118
00:06:43,583 --> 00:06:46,375
with his chemistry with
119
00:06:46,375 --> 00:06:51,333
Chris Tucker and then he's done films more recently with Kevin Hart.
120
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:54,875
He obviously Mike Epps.
121
00:06:55,166 --> 00:07:00,333
Yeah, I mean, he had that formula and he was very relatable, as we like to say.
122
00:07:01,375 --> 00:07:03,291
He did a lot of those buddy comedies.
123
00:07:03,291 --> 00:07:09,041
There's a lot of stuff about friendship and bonding throughout his filmography.
124
00:07:09,541 --> 00:07:10,125
Mm-hmm.
125
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:14,958
And then the versatility we talk about with fatherhood, you know, with Are We There Yet?
126
00:07:14,958 --> 00:07:17,000
and The Long Shots as well?
127
00:07:18,416 --> 00:07:19,833
Yeah, he's done all sorts of roles.
128
00:07:19,833 --> 00:07:25,666
We were prepping for this and thought, wait, he's done all sorts of things.
129
00:07:25,666 --> 00:07:27,125
And The Are We There Yet?
130
00:07:27,125 --> 00:07:29,833
movies are hilarious.
131
00:07:29,833 --> 00:07:34,000
If you have never watched them, I highly recommend that they're hilarious.
132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,083
The way he interacts with those kids, it cracks me up.
133
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:38,458
Yeah.
134
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:41,500
and the Barbershop series as well.
135
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:44,166
It talks about a lot of cultural issues.
136
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:45,333
Yeah.
137
00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:46,500
Yeah.
138
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:47,250
the Barbershop series.
139
00:07:47,250 --> 00:07:48,458
Yeah, I forgot about those.
140
00:07:48,458 --> 00:07:49,333
I didn't even mention those.
141
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:51,750
And I like those movies too.
142
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:55,000
Yeah, and I love the Barbershop movies.
143
00:07:56,125 --> 00:08:04,375
He plays a very positive character in that franchise, like a pivotal member of the
community.
144
00:08:04,375 --> 00:08:09,125
And the barbershop just in general is...
145
00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:14,250
it has significance in the urban community because it's a meeting place.
146
00:08:14,291 --> 00:08:19,666
It's a central location where men go and they don't just go there to get a haircut.
147
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:27,083
They go there to talk about sports, politics, bettering in the community.
148
00:08:27,083 --> 00:08:30,375
All sorts of topics are discussed at the barbershop.
149
00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:36,500
So that was very key for that film series to make its way.
150
00:08:37,875 --> 00:08:41,250
Onto the screen, yeah, I definitely enjoy watching those movies.
151
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,666
I'll watch them whenever they're on.
152
00:08:43,250 --> 00:08:49,583
So another thing that we mentioned, takeaway number two was even as his acting career has evolved,
153
00:08:49,583 --> 00:08:51,916
he stayed true and authentic to himself.
154
00:08:52,625 --> 00:08:55,458
He has that edge to him,
155
00:08:55,458 --> 00:09:02,208
which kind of speaks to his upbringing and triumphing over tragedy.
156
00:09:02,750 --> 00:09:09,250
He's been so authentic in his ways and in his mannerisms and the way that he speaks.
157
00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:12,750
So, you know, I think that's just a great...
158
00:09:12,791 --> 00:09:15,833
quality about Ice Cube.
159
00:09:16,291 --> 00:09:19,500
He projects how he really is, authentically.
160
00:09:19,541 --> 00:09:24,333
Yeah, he definitely comes across like even in the funny movies,
161
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:28,791
even when he's being funny, it's like he's still himself.
162
00:09:28,791 --> 00:09:31,208
Like you still see Ice Cube in there.
163
00:09:31,208 --> 00:09:35,916
There's no over the top thing about it.
164
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:39,166
And I think back to like, you know, I was watching the
165
00:09:39,166 --> 00:09:43,333
21 Jump Street in its subsequent sequel.
166
00:09:43,791 --> 00:09:48,125
He plays the captain, I think it's the captain.
167
00:09:48,416 --> 00:09:52,833
in that movie, he's supervising the Jump Street crew.
168
00:09:52,958 --> 00:09:54,625
And he is hilarious.
169
00:09:54,625 --> 00:10:00,375
Like, he's just, he's like so hard on those guys, but it's so funny.
170
00:10:00,375 --> 00:10:05,166
Like, the way he, the way he comes down on them is hilarious.
171
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:08,250
But you can see that, like, it's just like,
172
00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:12,416
it's like, even if it wasn't a character, he's like, you could still definitely see him in there.
173
00:10:12,416 --> 00:10:15,041
Like, it was very, it comes across very authentic.
174
00:10:15,041 --> 00:10:18,291
Yeah, you can definitely see parallels between his trajectory,
175
00:10:18,291 --> 00:10:22,291
his career trajectory from the hardcore rapper to a mainstream actor and producer.
176
00:10:22,291 --> 00:10:27,583
Like he starts off rigid and hard.
177
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:29,125
He's got that hard exterior,
178
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:35,666
but then he kind of softens up and shows his versatility and likeability in most of his roles.
179
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:38,166
And not for nothing, ironically, he
180
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:47,583
wrote very critical lyrics about the police and then,much like Ice-T, starred in a lot of things as a cop.
181
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:49,708
And pulled it off.
182
00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:51,458
I mean, he also pulled it off too.
183
00:10:51,458 --> 00:10:54,291
So, a credit to his acting ability.
184
00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:55,250
Yep.
185
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:57,416
It's funny because I think back to
186
00:10:57,416 --> 00:11:01,416
one of the trip, the triple X state of the union,
187
00:11:01,416 --> 00:11:07,833
which I mentioned earlier, and they show him like they get like, he plays like a ex military
188
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:10,500
that they're trying to bring into this secret mission.
189
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:13,625
And they're doing a profile on this character.
190
00:11:13,625 --> 00:11:15,875
And they're like, you know, they're going over his resume,
191
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:19,541
like all of the bad stuff he's done, like he had a troubled past and et cetera.
192
00:11:19,541 --> 00:11:22,041
And they put up his picture of him as he's younger.
193
00:11:22,041 --> 00:11:23,583
And this is actual
194
00:11:23,583 --> 00:11:25,833
NWA picture with the jheri curl.
195
00:11:28,083 --> 00:11:30,958
I think it was either a Raiders hat or a Kings hat that he had on.
196
00:11:30,958 --> 00:11:38,583
I'm like, Oh My God Every time I see that, I can't help but to laugh.
197
00:11:38,583 --> 00:11:41,875
It's not even meant to be funny, but it's just like, yeah, that's really him.
198
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,208
He's got the typical like old school NWA mean mug on.
199
00:11:46,333 --> 00:11:48,125
Hehehehehe
200
00:11:50,583 --> 00:11:51,750
Ah man.
201
00:11:51,833 --> 00:11:53,375
Yeah, Cube's done so much work.
202
00:11:53,375 --> 00:11:56,083
He's even done, you he's done some voice work.
203
00:11:56,083 --> 00:12:00,250
He's done just so much in the entertainment industry.
204
00:12:00,666 --> 00:12:02,958
But our final takeaway is his career
205
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:09,416
also has evolved to include founding the Big Three, a basketball league with former NBA players
206
00:12:09,416 --> 00:12:11,166
and other entrepreneurial projects.
207
00:12:11,583 --> 00:12:15,541
Dyno Wright, you want to talk a little bit about the Big Three, what you know about it
208
00:12:15,541 --> 00:12:18,541
and other projects that Cube has worked on?
209
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:20,958
It's an interesting project
210
00:12:20,958 --> 00:12:25,250
and not meant to compete with the NBA, it's almost like a nice supplement
211
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:29,208
because they have a lot of former NBA players,
212
00:12:29,208 --> 00:12:30,958
a lot of high-level college
213
00:12:30,958 --> 00:12:33,458
players, even Dr.
214
00:12:33,458 --> 00:12:33,833
J.
215
00:12:33,833 --> 00:12:37,125
Julius Erving is one of the coaches of one of these teams.
216
00:12:37,625 --> 00:12:39,291
And so it's like three on three basketball.
217
00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:46,083
so it fits in nicely with your regular NBA and college basketball.
218
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:48,041
in your life,
219
00:12:48,041 --> 00:12:54,416
but also he also made news when Caitlin Clark was coming out of Iowa
220
00:12:54,416 --> 00:12:57,708
offered a million, I think,
221
00:12:57,708 --> 00:13:03,166
to join the Big 3 because the salaries of the WNBA aren't
222
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:05,958
comparable to like NBA salaries.
223
00:13:05,958 --> 00:13:11,458
so he raised some interesting points about pay equity and stuff like that.
224
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:17,666
He was unsuccessful in enticing Caitlin Clark to go to the big three, but
225
00:13:17,666 --> 00:13:23,916
it should be pointed out too that a women's Big 3 type basketball league was also founded in the wake
226
00:13:23,916 --> 00:13:24,458
of this.
227
00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:31,041
so he was there in the beginning talking about better opportunities for women in sports.
228
00:13:31,041 --> 00:13:33,458
So kudos to him for that.
229
00:13:33,458 --> 00:13:34,333
Yeah.
230
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:41,416
I'm sure Caitlin Clark's made up more than the million in her endorsement deals and NIL even back in college, but that was a kind gesture.
231
00:13:41,416 --> 00:13:45,333
Yeah, for sure.
232
00:13:46,583 --> 00:13:47,291
Yeah, definitely.
233
00:13:47,291 --> 00:13:53,083
founded a production company, Cube Vision, and so a lot of his later projects are coming out of there.
234
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:57,708
Which makes sense, all the power he has in Hollywood.
235
00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:01,333
That's something that makes a lot of sense.
236
00:14:01,333 --> 00:14:04,166
Yeah, and did you know, we talked about this prior to the show,
237
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:10,000
but going back to the basketball, he was honored with the Ice Cube Impact Award named after him by the Naismith
238
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,500
Basketball Hall of Fame.
239
00:14:12,083 --> 00:14:14,375
As we researched this, we didn't realize that
240
00:14:14,375 --> 00:14:20,416
he literally has an award named after him for his contributions to basketball, which is kind of cool.
241
00:14:20,416 --> 00:14:21,333
Yeah.
242
00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:22,500
Yeah.
243
00:14:23,625 --> 00:14:26,708
Yeah, community basketball support.
244
00:14:27,541 --> 00:14:28,291
Yep.
245
00:14:30,166 --> 00:14:34,625
And he leaves a legacy like O'Shea Jackson, his real name,
246
00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:43,291
fans of The Mandalorian and newer films and TV series will recognize Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson Jr.
247
00:14:43,291 --> 00:14:44,625
in a lot of things.
248
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:50,333
He looks very similar to his Pops so you can spot him.
249
00:14:50,333 --> 00:14:54,500
Played him in the Straight Outta Compton biopic that we also reviewed.
250
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:55,500
Absolutely.
251
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:56,125
Yeah.
252
00:14:56,125 --> 00:15:00,666
Not without his controversies, both as a young man and as a current man.
253
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:11,916
was controversial back in the day for his lyrics and NWA, but lately controversial for sort of hanging or sort of aligning himself with...
254
00:15:13,625 --> 00:15:17,625
Trump, and other people in the Trump ecosystem.
255
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:20,916
So yeah, make what you will of that.
256
00:15:20,916 --> 00:15:24,875
And some anti-Semitism.
257
00:15:24,875 --> 00:15:26,166
Complicated.
258
00:15:26,833 --> 00:15:28,416
Complicated right?
259
00:15:28,416 --> 00:15:29,250
Yeah.
260
00:15:29,958 --> 00:15:37,416
There’s no denying his contributions to cinema and hip hop.
261
00:15:37,416 --> 00:15:39,166
yep, that's why we're profiling him here.
262
00:15:39,166 --> 00:15:50,208
Because again, he's got a wide breadth of entertainment contributions, which is to be celebrated.
263
00:15:52,208 --> 00:16:00,291
As we record this, we are - upcoming screening event we have at good ol' SteelStacks is Boyz N the Hood in November.
264
00:16:00,291 --> 00:16:03,500
So that's all going to be all over our socials.
265
00:16:03,583 --> 00:16:08,000
And we can see Boyz N the Hood on the big screen.
266
00:16:08,291 --> 00:16:08,625
So.
267
00:16:08,625 --> 00:16:14,041
in 4K, brand new.
268
00:16:14,041 --> 00:16:19,083
Ding, ding, ding, ding, upgrades have been made to the Frank Banko Alehouse cinemas.
269
00:16:19,083 --> 00:16:20,541
So we're excited about that.
270
00:16:20,541 --> 00:16:23,541
Our man Anthony making it happen.
271
00:16:23,708 --> 00:16:26,208
And we are gonna have a very
272
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:30,333
informative and engaging panel discussion about
273
00:16:30,333 --> 00:16:33,833
the social and cultural impact of Boyz N The Hood
274
00:16:33,833 --> 00:16:38,666
with some regional professors in Lehigh Valley.
275
00:16:39,458 --> 00:16:46,125
representing the likes of Kutztown University, Lafayette College, Northampton Community College, and more.
276
00:16:47,166 --> 00:16:49,666
So that's an event you won't want to miss on November 13th.
277
00:16:49,666 --> 00:16:50,583
Yep.
278
00:16:52,916 --> 00:16:53,541
Definitely.
279
00:16:53,541 --> 00:16:56,291
If you haven’t seen the film, definitely try to make it out.
280
00:16:56,291 --> 00:16:59,583
If you have seen the film, come see it in 4K.
281
00:16:59,666 --> 00:17:01,791
Come see it in 4K!
282
00:17:01,833 --> 00:17:04,625
And stay for the discussion, because you're to get something out of it.
283
00:17:04,625 --> 00:17:06,083
I guarantee it.
284
00:17:18,125 --> 00:17:23,000
Hip Hop Movie Club is produced by your HHMC's JB, Boogie and Dyno Wright.
285
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,208
Theme music by Boogie.
286
00:17:25,208 --> 00:17:28,625
And as we mentioned on November 13th at SteelStacks in Bethlehem,
287
00:17:28,625 --> 00:17:33,041

Remember, don't hate, motivate.

Go BooGie! Go BooGie!
295

Nice!
296
00:18:13,416 --> 00:18:14,875
I am motivated now.
297
00:18:15,791 --> 00:18:17,666
Yessir, yessir.
