Well, lookie here, ain’t this somethin’. Talkin’ ’bout them pictures that get your heart thumpin’ and your blood pumpin’. You know, the ones like that “New Jack City.” Always liked that one, Nino Brown and all them fellers causin’ a ruckus. Got you thinkin’, ain’t it? What else is out there like it? Let’s chew the fat about some movies that’ll give you that same itch.
First off, you gotta see that “Menace II Society“. That one’s somethin’ else. Shows you how it is out there, the troubles and the scrapes. Makes “New Jack City” look like a walk in the park. Same kinda feel, you get me? People tryin’ to make somethin’ of themselves but gettin’ tangled up in mess. Ain’t pretty, but it’s real.
- Now, don’t go forgettin’ “Deep Cover” neither. Jeff Goldblum, ain’t that a hoot? Playin’ a big shot drug fella. It’s twisty and turny, got you guessin’ till the end. Kinda like “New Jack City” where you don’t rightly know who’s gonna come out on top. Keeps ya on your toes, that’s for sure.
- And then there’s “South Central“. That one hits you right in the gut. Shows you what folks gotta go through, the hard times and all. It ain’t all shootin’ and whatnot like them other pictures, but it’s got that realness. Reminds me of some folks I knew back when. Tough lives, but they keep goin’. Just like in “New Jack City”, people fightin’ for somethin’ better, even when it’s hard.
Don’t be forgettin’ “Juice” neither. Buncha young fellas gettin’ into all sorts of trouble. It’s like lookin’ at how things start, how someone goes down the wrong path. Kinda makes you think about Nino Brown when he was just startin’ out. See how it all goes wrong, step by step.
All these pictures, they got somethin’ in common with “New Jack City”. They show you the rough side of things, the fights and the troubles. But they also show you folks tryin’ to make somethin’ of themselves. Good and bad mixed up together, just like in real life.
Heard some folks whisperin’ about another “New Jack City”, a new one. But don’t get your hopes up too high. Seen lots of talk, posters and such, but nothin’ solid yet. Just rumors flyin’ around like dust in the wind. Wouldn’t mind seein’ it though, see what Nino Brown’s been up to, if he’s still stirrin’ up trouble.
But you know, even if they don’t make another one, you got plenty to keep you busy. Them movies I mentioned, they’ll do the trick. Sit yourself down, grab a snack, and get ready for some stories that’ll make you think, maybe even shed a tear or two. Cause life’s tough, ain’t it? But we keep on keepin’ on, just like them fellers in the pictures.
So there you have it, some movies like “New Jack City”. Ain’t nothin’ fancy about it, just straight talk. You want some pictures that stick with you, that make you think, those are the ones to watch. Now go on, get to watchin’. Don’t waste no more time chit-chattin’.
