The Three Worst Hip Hop Movies

Speaker: 00:00:02

Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club, the show

that harmonizes the rhythm of hip hop with

2

: 00:00:05

the magic of movies.

3

: 00:00:07

Today we're discussing the three worst hip

hop movies ever.

4

: 00:00:11

We are three old heads who put their old

heads together to vibe on these films for

5

: 00:00:14

you.

6

: 00:00:15

I'm Dyno Wright, podcaster, filmmaker,

longtime hip hop fan, and the most

7

: 00:00:20

important thing I learned from Master P is

to make him say, UNNNNHHHH

8

: 00:00:26

I'm JB, 80s and 90s nostalgia junkie, long

time Hip-Hop fan, and I fairly recently

9

: 00:00:30

performed Parents Just Don't Understand at

a karaoke night.

10

: 00:00:34

Yeah.

11

: 00:00:35

Nice.

12

: 00:00:37

I'm Boogie, a DJ, long time hip hop fan.

13

: 00:00:40

And one of my favorite things to do is

watch clips of breakdancing battles.

14

: 00:00:44

I do it all day.

15

: 00:00:45

And I'm so excited for breakdancing to

premiere in these Olympic games in Paris.

16

: 00:00:50

Finally.

17

: 00:00:52

Yes, sir.

18

: 00:00:53

In this episode, we'll answer the

question, why?

19

: 00:00:56

Why?

20

: 00:00:57

Just why were a few of these movies, these

terrible films made?

21

: 00:01:02

This is gonna be fun.

22

: 00:01:05

Whoo

23

: 00:01:08

Get ready for some hot takes.

24

: 00:01:10

Yeah.

25

: 00:01:11

So, you know, if you listen to our

episodes and we give ratings at the end

26

: 00:01:17

of, you know, bring that funky flick back

or leave it in the vault.

27

: 00:01:22

There's a couple that were unanimous, not

too many and a lot of were unanimous in

28

: 00:01:27

terms of yes, bring this back.

29

: 00:01:29

These are a lot of really good films out

there, but there are a few that were just

30

: 00:01:34

Dreadful.

31

: 00:01:37

To say the least.

32

: 00:01:40

We're gonna rank these in order of three,

two, one.

33

: 00:01:42

So I think there's a few that we agree on,

but Boogie, would you nominate the third

34

: 00:01:48

worst hip hop movie film of all time?

35

: 00:01:52

You have a nomination?

36

: 00:01:53

a tough one.

37

: 00:01:54

See, the first one that came to my mind

was Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

38

: 00:02:01

But, I actually, as bad as that movie is,

I actually do enjoy watching that movie.

39

: 00:02:07

So I'm not gonna nominate that movie.

40

: 00:02:09

Cause it gives me good laughs.

41

: 00:02:11

Good for laugh value.

42

: 00:02:13

So I will probably say...

43

: 00:02:17

I Got the Hook Up.

44

: 00:02:20

Hahaha

45

: 00:02:22

I don’t know.

46

: 00:02:23

I remember that one did go off the rails.

47

: 00:02:25

It lost.

48

: 00:02:26

Yeah, it was, it was, it was okay.

49

: 00:02:28

It was fun.

50

: 00:02:29

got a lot going on.

51

: 00:02:31

Ha ha ha.

52

: 00:02:34

it got to the point and then it got to the

end and the cops weren't who they said

53

: 00:02:37

they were.

54

: 00:02:37

And I'm like, what, what?

55

: 00:02:42

The weird chase, the weird car chase

scene, the random, what was it?

56

: 00:02:46

I don't even want to call it a brothel,

but like, his uncle turned into like a

57

: 00:02:53

club with all the strippers and stuff.

58

: 00:02:55

Like, what the heck?

59

: 00:02:56

It was like random, like it was random.

60

: 00:02:58

Like there's so much random.

61

: 00:03:01

parts in that movie that just didn't make

sense at all.

62

: 00:03:04

I mean, I think it was one of those

situations where like, cause Master P' had,

63

: 00:03:09

Master P’s money was long at that time.

64

: 00:03:13

So he probably was just like, yeah, I got

money.

65

: 00:03:14

I'm going to make a movie.

66

: 00:03:17

You know, dude had, you know, I remember

MTV Cribs, you know, he had like,

67

: 00:03:23

solid gold, you know, handle on his

toilet and stuff like that.

68

: 00:03:28

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

69

: 00:03:31

Solid gold like, you know, water faucets and stuff, like

70

: 00:03:35

Like you know, unnecessary stuff so he was probably like

71

: 00:03:38

Yeah I got money let me go make a movie real quick

72

: 00:03:44

I don’t know, but yeah, that’s probably gonna be mine.

73

: 00:03:48

This guy literally drove around tanks, probably like

74

: 00:03:51

diamond-encrusted tanks we talked about

75

: 00:03:55

It was, he did whatever he wanted

76

: 00:03:57

he wants to play

77

: 00:03:59

basketball for like the Houston Rockets.

78

: 00:04:01

It's like, yeah, he's in the summer league

team.

79

: 00:04:02

You know, he's like, what this guy,

whatever he wanted to do.

80

: 00:04:07

He was the one that we talked about.

81

: 00:04:09

He negotiated his contracts with those

record deals.

82

: 00:04:14

Like amazingly, like

83

: 00:04:17

getting such a huge cut of everything.

84

: 00:04:20

And then he had his whole family, Silkk

the Shocker and all these other Mystikal

85

: 00:04:24

all these guys making records and selling

tons and tons of albums back then.

86

: 00:04:30

He was printing money.

87

: 00:04:31

Yeah.

88

: 00:04:32

So that's why he made that film.

89

: 00:04:33

he started off independently selling them

out the trunk of his car.

90

: 00:04:36

So like he was making, he had no, like he

had no middle man.

91

: 00:04:41

Whatever he made, it went straight to the pocket

92

: 00:04:44

So you, you figured you go platinum, you

go platinum or almost a gold even, just

93

: 00:04:48

from selling out of your trunk with no

middle man.

94

: 00:04:51

Yeah.

95

: 00:04:56

You know, you saw the albums were selling

for, you know, the price of a regular

96

: 00:04:59

It wasn't like, you know, two dollars,

full length albums, you know, selling out

97

: 00:05:05

the trunk with no record label, no shady

contract in the middle, taking a cut.

98

: 00:05:13

Right.

99

: 00:05:14

You know, it’s like, that’s insane.

100

: 00:05:17

Like I tell people, I remember the very first time I heard of Master P

101

: 00:05:21

because I had.

102

: 00:05:22

I had one of my boys went to school out in

Ohio and he said, yo, yo, L gotta hear this.

103

: 00:05:28

There's this guy.

104

: 00:05:30

He just says, UNNHH and the whole crowd

goes crazy.

105

: 00:05:33

And I'm like, what?

106

: 00:05:35

That's it?

107

: 00:05:35

That's all he says?

108

: 00:05:36

Like, what else does he say?

109

: 00:05:38

He says other stuff, but like, that's it.

110

: 00:05:43

That's the catch.

111

: 00:05:44

Like the whole place gets crazy.

112

: 00:05:46

I'm like, okay.

113

: 00:05:47

So we go to a party or whatever.

114

: 00:05:49

He throws it on.

115

: 00:05:50

And I'm like, wow.

116

: 00:05:53

I couldn't believe it.

117

: 00:05:58

But yeah, but yeah, you know, he made a

movie and it was horrible, but you know,

118

: 00:06:06

no knock on him.

119

: 00:06:10

He's still cemented you know, in hip hop

culture as, you know, a legend in the

120

: 00:06:15

game, but that movie....ehh.

121

: 00:06:18

Hahahaha

122

: 00:06:21

But they also, like you said, they did end

up with a sequel also just because they

123

: 00:06:26

could.

124

: 00:06:28

Yeah.

125

: 00:06:28

Yep, yep.

126

: 00:06:30

Dyno Wright, do you have a nomination for

a third worst hip hop movie?

127

: 00:06:35

I was also gonna go with I Got the

Hook-up.

128

: 00:06:38

It had its moments, but as a film it

wasn't that great and then they had these

129

: 00:06:43

these like unsatisfying plot twists at the

end and so yeah, it was not that Not quite

130

: 00:06:51

Cinematic triumph, I'd say.

131

: 00:06:54

Yeah.

132

: 00:06:56

I mean, I did enlist in the No Limit Army,

but this was just against my morals.

133

: 00:07:03

Haha

134

: 00:07:06

Can you get a discharge from the No Limit

Army?

135

: 00:07:09

Hahahaha

136

: 00:07:12

I agree with, it had major flaws.

137

: 00:07:15

You know what movie really didn’t care as much for

138

: 00:07:20

and

139

: 00:07:23

it might be blasphemous a little bit because there’s such legendary people in it

140

: 00:07:27

Poetic Justice, because

141

: 00:07:28

Tupac.

142

: 00:07:30

his talents were kind of wasted because of

the role that he played and Janet Jackson

143

: 00:07:35

was a little bit demure in it and like, I

don't know.

144

: 00:07:39

It's one that I don't really go back that

often to watch or I really wouldn't.

145

: 00:07:44

And it's part of that was John Singleton,

right?

146

: 00:07:47

With this trilogy, it's kind of like, I

almost wish that it was done differently

147

: 00:07:53

or there was a different film in the mix

there.

148

: 00:07:55

Yeah, it didn't age well for me.

149

: 00:08:00

It didn't, I don't think, I mean it was

fine.

150

: 00:08:04

But when you, when you get your follow up

from Boyz n the Hood, it's difficult to

151

: 00:08:09

kind of exceed that.

152

: 00:08:10

And it felt a little uneven and I probably

even said this in the episode we did, that

153

: 00:08:16

there was a better movie in here

somewhere, but it wasn't on the thing we

154

: 00:08:21

saw.

155

: 00:08:22

Yeah, I'm looking back at some of my

comments and it was like, like, was just a

156

: 00:08:28

little bit too much of just gratuitous

cursing and fighting for no reason, like

157

: 00:08:33

snapping and snapping back and forth and

158

: 00:08:36

It was a little bit bizarre.

159

: 00:08:38

Some of that you said it best.

160

: 00:08:40

It didn't really age that well.

161

: 00:08:41

And I think that's where I'm having that

contradiction in my head is like, we love

162

: 00:08:49

so much of Janet Jackson's life's work as

well as Tupac's.

163

: 00:08:56

And for this to be part of that, it's one

of those footnotes, I would think when

164

: 00:09:03

you're talking about their careers.

165

: 00:09:06

It's a minor footnote.

166

: 00:09:08

I won't go so far as to call it a blemish,

but there was something left there, left

167

: 00:09:15

on the table.

168

: 00:09:17

Yep.

169

: 00:09:18

Yeah.

170

: 00:09:18

Well, let's get into some that we more or

less agree on in terms of being terrible

171

: 00:09:24

hip hop movies.

172

: 00:09:27

Number two on our list is Malibu's Most

Wanted.

173

: 00:09:34

If you remember my commentary on this one

from my original episode, I was

174

: 00:09:39

embarrassed to be a white guy and watch

this movie.

175

: 00:09:43

I was like, come on, you're disgracing our

entire race.

176

: 00:09:47

you

177

: 00:09:48

point, it was like, let's make a movie

about a white guy that talks, you know,

178

: 00:09:55

really urban fashion, almost like he's

Black.

179

: 00:09:58

And they even use the term that I can't

stand, you know, the term wigger.

180

: 00:10:02

And I'm like, it was just horrible because

this was after Eminem already came on the

181

: 00:10:09

scene.

182

: 00:10:10

So like, it was proven.

183

: 00:10:12

It's been proven time and time.

184

: 00:10:13

White guys can rap.

185

: 00:10:14

Yes, it is a very much.

186

: 00:10:16

Black predominantly, predominant genre of

music.

187

: 00:10:22

And however, I didn't get the point.

188

: 00:10:27

And they took liberties to also, you know,

misappropriate other cultures as well.

189

: 00:10:34

I mean, Kal Penn played a, you know,

generic Middle Eastern guy with all the

190

: 00:10:40

stereotypes.

191

: 00:10:42

I think there was Far Eastern stereotypes.

192

: 00:10:44

It was just terrible.

193

: 00:10:47

Jamie Kennedy had his moment of fame here

and there with the Jamie Kennedy

194

: 00:10:52

Experiment and everything.

195

: 00:10:54

But to make this film, I just, it was like

fingernails on the chalkboard throughout

196

: 00:10:59

the entire movie.

197

: 00:11:00

I was almost like watching it through

veiled eyes.

198

: 00:11:04

I'm like, please let it be over soon.

199

: 00:11:08

geez.

200

: 00:11:09

Hahaha

201

: 00:11:11

Yeah, it was a complete mockery to me.

202

: 00:11:14

Like, it was just hard to watch.

203

: 00:11:17

I mean, I had never even considered

watching that movie until we decided to

204

: 00:11:25

view it for the podcast.

205

: 00:11:27

And after watching it, I was just like,

damn, now I know why.

206

: 00:11:32

Yeah, my whole intuition about the movie

was correct.

207

: 00:11:36

It was just a complete waste of my time.

208

: 00:11:39

And I'm like you, JB.

209

: 00:11:40

I love a good comedy.

210

: 00:11:41

I love a good slapstick.

211

: 00:11:44

I love, you know, satires, you know, don't

be a menace.

212

: 00:11:48

to south central while drinking your juice

in the hood.

213

: 00:11:50

You can even go back to things like

Airplane and Caddyshack.

214

: 00:11:53

Like classic, I love a good laugh, but

this didn't make me laugh.

215

: 00:11:58

It was so cringey.

216

: 00:11:59

It was so cringe worthy that I just, it

was hard to watch it.

217

: 00:12:03

you know, you take,

218

: 00:12:06

this film and just, I don't know whose

idea it was to put this out, but I don't

219

: 00:12:10

know.

220

: 00:12:11

I just, yeah, just bad.

221

: 00:12:18

Just bad.

222

: 00:12:19

I never thought I would talk about this

movie again.

223

: 00:12:22

Hahahaha

224

: 00:12:25

It's time to bring it out and flog it in

public.

225

: 00:12:30

8 Mile was released prior to this.

226

: 00:12:33

so listen, Eminem was huge and

227

: 00:12:37

the Beastie Boys

228

: 00:12:39

other like white rappers,

229

: 00:12:40

It was like, wow, a white guy is trying to

be a rapper like big deal.

230

: 00:12:44

And then the part with his father was not

even a likable character.

231

: 00:12:46

It was like the father's not being

attentive and he's almost trying to have

232

: 00:12:53

him get some therapy to overcome his.

233

: 00:12:57

affinity for hip hop culture.

234

: 00:12:59

I was just...

235

: 00:13:01

Yeah, it was not helping his political

campaign.

236

: 00:13:03

It was ridiculous.

237

: 00:13:04

Yeah, exactly.

238

: 00:13:05

Jeez.

239

: 00:13:05

it's one of the great wastes of comedic

talent on film.

240

: 00:13:10

Yes, and then Taye Diggs and Anthony

Anderson who are awesome and they're in

241

: 00:13:15

this movie and I'm like, I bet that they

regret being in it or they probably again

242

: 00:13:20

footnote very minor footnote that they'd

probably want to scratch scratch off.

243

: 00:13:25

Blair Underwood is in this, he’s very good

244

: 00:13:27

Regina Hall is in this, she’s very good

245

: 00:13:30

Ryan O 'Neill, Snoop Dogg, and yet...

246

: 00:13:34

They yanked some great talent into the movie

and completely wasted them.

247

: 00:13:38

Yeah, Nick Swardsen, Jeffrey Tambor And so

they've done so little with so much.

248

: 00:13:45

Yeah, yeah.

249

: 00:13:47

I mean, like the scenes with Taye Diggs in

them, I enjoyed watching him.

250

: 00:13:51

Yeah

251

: 00:13:52

It was the one saving grace.

252

: 00:13:54

So I will say, yeah, I will say to a

certain point with him, I enjoyed watching

253

: 00:13:57

the scenes with him in them.

254

: 00:13:58

And I mean, he, I don't know, he might've

improvised some of that stuff, because I

255

: 00:14:04

don't see how the script could go from

what was going on to being, you know,

256

: 00:14:08

written well for him.

257

: 00:14:10

Ehhh.

258

: 00:14:12

The fact this movie was actually

profitable in the box office, which is

259

: 00:14:16

beyond my comprehension and is a sad

commentary

260

: 00:14:19

It’s a sad commentary on our society or what we were thinking

261

: 00:14:22

What was our problem that year?

262

: 00:14:24

I don’t know,

263

: 00:14:24

I would like to think we've evolved a bit

from then.

264

: 00:14:29

But yeah, terrible.

265

: 00:14:30

Don't watch that.

266

: 00:14:31

was not a good idea.

267

: 00:14:34

I don't know who thought that was a good

idea.

268

: 00:14:36

But again, except Jamie Kennedy had a

moment, he was able to make a film or, you

269

: 00:14:40

know, be a huge part of it.

270

: 00:14:43

Went over like a lead balloon in my book.

271

: 00:14:48

And then the final one, number one worst

film is one that we covered fairly

272

: 00:14:53

recently.

273

: 00:14:55

And on Rotten Tomatoes, it got 0 % for the

critics rating and but 73 % for the

274

: 00:15:02

audience somehow was State Property.

275

: 00:15:06

Ahhh man, state property, who wants to take

that and kind of speak to why that was so

276

: 00:15:12

terrible?

277

: 00:15:16

State Property ooh-wee

278

: 00:15:20

Where do we start with that one?

279

: 00:15:24

When did State Property come out again?

280

: 00:15:27

It was 2002.

281

: 00:15:28

Okay.

282

: 00:15:29

All right.

283

: 00:15:29

So picture this, the year is 2002.

284

: 00:15:32

Roc-a-Fella Records is pushing millions of

records out there.

285

: 00:15:38

I mean, the only other people that are

probably, other MCs that are probably

286

: 00:15:42

pushing out as much music as him is

probably Eminem and Nelly.

287

: 00:15:49

Jay -Z and the crew decide they're gonna

288

: 00:15:51

put out a film, a crime drama based on the

group state property out of Philadelphia,

289

: 00:15:59

helmed by the great MC.

290

: 00:16:02

Beanie Sigel was a great MC, you know, and

his crew, the Young Guns and Chris and

291

: 00:16:07

Neef and Oschino and Sparks.

292

: 00:16:09

And well, Freeway wasn't in the film

because Freeway was being detained at the

293

: 00:16:13

moment.

294

: 00:16:13

No more to talk about that.

295

: 00:16:15

But this film...

296

: 00:16:18

I mean, I did go watch the movie when it

first came out because I was a Roc-a-fella

297

: 00:16:21

fan boy.

298

: 00:16:22

I'll admit it.

299

: 00:16:23

You know, I was there from where

Roc-a-fella started and it took off and

300

: 00:16:28

I was, you know, I followed them and any

songs, any albums that came out, boom, if

301

: 00:16:33

you were a DJ playing Roc-a-fella records,

like I could play a whole set in a club or

302

: 00:16:38

in a party of nothing but Roc-a-fella

music the entire night and the whole crowd

303

: 00:16:42

would jump and stay on their feet the

entire night.

304

: 00:16:44

With that said, this movie.

305

: 00:16:47

didn't age well for me.

306

: 00:16:49

I enjoyed watching it when I was younger

and watching it as an almost 50 year old

307

: 00:16:56

man, I didn't quite, I mean, I knew what

it was about because it was the street,

308

: 00:17:02

the street, life I get it.

309

: 00:17:03

I mean, I grew up in the hood, so I get

where it was coming from, but it was one

310

: 00:17:08

of those things like, why?

311

: 00:17:10

Why was this movie made?

312

: 00:17:12

And, and...

313

: 00:17:14

I guess at the end of the day, it was

probably one of those those where Jay and

314

: 00:17:20

Dame were like, why not?

315

: 00:17:21

Let's do it.

316

: 00:17:21

We got the money to fund it.

317

: 00:17:24

And they unloaded State Property on the

masses.

318

: 00:17:28

And here we are in 2024 with it as our

number one worst hip hop film.

319

: 00:17:35

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

320

: 00:17:38

DynoWright, You want to add to,

321

: 00:17:43

Yeah.

322

: 00:17:45

So if Malibu's most wanted was who thought

this was a good idea, the question for

323

: 00:17:49

state property was just because you can

doesn't mean you should.

324

: 00:17:54

This movie shouldn't have been made.

325

: 00:17:56

It didn't have a plot.

326

: 00:17:57

It didn't have character development.

327

: 00:17:59

It didn't have any sort of dimension to

it.

328

: 00:18:01

And yeah, it was very easily my worst hip

hop movie ever made.

329

: 00:18:08

Yeah, and as we get to be our age, I guess

we get a little bit more sensitive to the

330

: 00:18:13

violence.

331

: 00:18:15

And it was just senseless violence, like

one after the other, after the other.

332

: 00:18:22

Pointless.

333

: 00:18:26

Yeah, it was just tough to watch.

334

: 00:18:28

You know, it's tough to watch when all

you're just seeing is a lot of killings

335

: 00:18:31

and brutality one after the other.

336

: 00:18:33

And you don't really know the entire

backstory.

337

: 00:18:36

You know, are we supposed to be rooting

for Beans?

338

: 00:18:39

You know, played by Beanie Sigel Why don't

we?

339

: 00:18:43

didn't get the basic characters like in

any sort of correct way.

340

: 00:18:48

shows up and starts killing people and

trying to run the town.

341

: 00:18:53

And, that's pretty much it.

342

: 00:18:55

compare the character of Beans in State

Property to Nino Brown in New Jack City.

343

: 00:19:05

You see the difference.

344

: 00:19:07

I mean, we know Nino Brown was a complete

evil guy, but

345

: 00:19:12

he was more dynamic.

346

: 00:19:13

There was facets to him.

347

: 00:19:15

We saw him not necessarily doing all bad.

348

: 00:19:18

So in certain instances you're like, all

right, maybe he's not all bad.

349

: 00:19:21

Whereas like with Beans, it was just like

one -sided, you know, two -dimensional,

350

: 00:19:27

you know, yeah.

351

: 00:19:30

yeah, there's senseless violence and then

there's senseless violence with no point

352

: 00:19:35

that that moves the story along.

353

: 00:19:38

Very sort of, let's just shoot everybody.

354

: 00:19:39

Yeah.

355

: 00:19:40

Right.

356

: 00:19:42

I mean, everything about the film sense,

there's senseless violence and there was a

357

: 00:19:46

lot of like senseless nudity.

358

: 00:19:48

I mean, yeah, I mean, nudity would attract

a lot of the viewers because, you know,

359

: 00:19:54

people, you know, attracted to the nudity,

but it's like, it didn't really have

360

: 00:19:57

anything to do with the storyline, which

is like, wait, there's a naked woman and

361

: 00:20:04

okay, all right.

362

: 00:20:05

Well, it's just one of those things like

you said, it's just because you can do it

363

: 00:20:08

doesn't mean you should do it.

364

: 00:20:10

It didn't add.

365

: 00:20:11

to the story.

366

: 00:20:13

And then Jay -Z's talents were wasted in

the film.

367

: 00:20:17

That was one of our takeaways.

368

: 00:20:18

He had just such a brief role and he was

mostly mumbling in it.

369

: 00:20:21

And it was like, wait, Jay -Z, you know,

he's on the screen.

370

: 00:20:24

It's like, he's just mumbling.

371

: 00:20:27

And what did he say?

372

: 00:20:29

I was like, come on.

373

: 00:20:30

mumbling for no reason and no point to it.

374

: 00:20:33

Nothing that would give you any sort of

sense of what the character is.

375

: 00:20:37

Like, you just, just, let's have him

mumble.

376

: 00:20:39

It's like they pull it out of a hat.

377

: 00:20:41

Like, this guy is going to be a mumbler.

378

: 00:20:44

Why?

379

: 00:20:46

I mean, I don’t know if this film was rushed

380

: 00:20:47

to the theater.

381

: 00:20:50

because there was some other deadline.

382

: 00:20:51

Roc-a-Fella was ruling the roost.

383

: 00:20:54

They were doing everything.

384

: 00:20:55

So maybe there was so much focus on

pumping out the music that maybe this was

385

: 00:21:02

just a side project and like, Hey, we want

to get a film out there and let's just do

386

: 00:21:05

this and not spend time on the character

development and the plot.

387

: 00:21:10

and utilizing Jay -Z's charisma, but it

all just fell flat.

388

: 00:21:17

Yeah, but they all wore Roc-a-wear

clothing in the film.

389

: 00:21:23

So it was a commercial.

390

: 00:21:25

It was a big commercial.

391

: 00:21:27

the most violent, brutal commercial for

Roc-a-wear you would ever see.

392

: 00:21:32

women, it's like they took like, cause you

know, like when you're filming the the

393

: 00:21:36

music videos, they have these same women.

394

: 00:21:39

They look exactly the same as they were in

the movie.

395

: 00:21:41

But because it's a music video, it's all G rated,

396

: 00:21:43

there are swimsuits and things.

397

: 00:21:44

So well, we could have the same music

videos, but we don't have to have them

398

: 00:21:50

covered up.

399

: 00:21:51

Yeah, like, ooh, it was like a 12 year old

boy like wrote this movie.

400

: 00:21:57

Yeah.

401

: 00:22:00

Boobies everywhere!

402

: 00:22:02

Yeah, yeah.

403

: 00:22:04

Yet there was a sequel in this too somehow.

404

: 00:22:07

Yeah

405

: 00:22:08

Because they had the ability to do it

406

: 00:22:10

Because you could.

407

: 00:22:11

I mean, a lot of people did rush to see

this, so they probably funded itself.

408

: 00:22:19

The sequel was, the

sequel has even, has more holes in it than

409

: 00:22:25

Swiss cheese.

410

: 00:22:26

Hahaha

411

: 00:22:28

If you watched the second one, you'd rank

this is one.

412

: 00:22:31

The second one would be like, you know, 0

.9.

413

: 00:22:35

Hahahaha

414

: 00:22:38

It's like, second one's worse.

415

: 00:22:41

You can’t imagine.

416

: 00:22:44

I think DynoWright, you made a point

417

: 00:22:46

when we were talking about this film, it was like

418

: 00:22:48

Dame Dash was the only one putting forth

419

: 00:22:51

some sort of effort hahaha

420

: 00:22:54

in the acting.

421

: 00:22:55

He was trying, everyone else was kinda going through the motions.

422

: 00:23:00

Certainly not the type of rapper turned actor

423

: 00:23:03

progression we’ve seen from like, Will Smith or Queen Latifah

424

: 00:23:07

Even Ice Cube No, we just saw like, yeah,

no acting.

425

: 00:23:12

No acting was happening here.

426

: 00:23:15

It's a shame because I absolutely loved

this movie when they first come out.

427

: 00:23:18

Yes, State property, woo!

428

: 00:23:23

And now it's like, ooh.

429

: 00:23:29

We've all matured and become more refined

in our tastes, but woof, you are so right.

430

: 00:23:35

I know I still own the DVD somewhere.

431

: 00:23:37

I know I have it.

432

: 00:23:38

I'm going to come across it.

433

: 00:23:39

It's probably in my storage unit.

434

: 00:23:41

I'm going to come across it.

435

: 00:23:42

I'm pretty sure of it.

436

: 00:23:44

Both of them, one and two.

437

: 00:23:46

Because a lot of the films we cover, like

I like to pass down to my son and like

438

: 00:23:50

tell him like, hey, check, like when we

first watched do the right thing for the

439

: 00:23:54

podcast and like, I was like, you got to

see some of this.

440

: 00:23:57

It's a great, great cinematography, great

storytelling.

441

: 00:24:02

It's racial tensions, which are still

prevalent today.

442

: 00:24:07

It’s in the news all the time,

unfortunately, but like, yeah.

443

: 00:24:09

And then, you know, Boyz in the Hood and

444

: 00:24:13

Even some of the smaller films have some

more redeeming qualities, even if they're

445

: 00:24:18

not to that level.

446

: 00:24:20

But when I was watching this a little

while ago, I'm like, I see my son like

447

: 00:24:24

over there and he's kind of like doing his

own thing on his device or whatever.

448

: 00:24:27

And I'm like, don't even look up.

449

: 00:24:30

Don't watch this.

450

: 00:24:33

This was terrible.

451

: 00:24:33

Do not engage.

452

: 00:24:34

Yeah.

453

: 00:24:34

Do not engage.

454

: 00:24:35

Yeah.

455

: 00:24:36

Yeah.

456

: 00:24:38

I mean, he's old enough to...

457

: 00:24:40

see the R rated movies and stuff.

458

: 00:24:41

I'm not concerned about that, but just

like, you don't want to subject them to

459

: 00:24:46

the raw violence and lack of storyline and plot.

460

: 00:24:52

We can spend this time in better ways.

461

: 00:24:54

Exactly.

462

: 00:24:56

Alright so there we have it.

463

: 00:24:57

State Property...is a no-go.

464

: 00:25:00

Yeah, they should stay in the confiscated

property locker.

465

: 00:25:04

Yeah right.

466

: 00:25:04

People, what did we miss?
