Hip Hop Movie: CB4 vs House Party
Will presenter Aminatou Sow pick CB4 or House Party as the most important hip hop movie of all time?
What is the most important hip hop movie of all time? Journalist Bomani Jones says it鈥檚 House Party, while rapper Fat Tony picks CB4. After hearing from both sides, Aminatou Sow must choose one as the winner, and it鈥檚 not an easy pick!
How does CB4鈥檚 look at the fetishisation of gangsta rappers by the music industry compare to House Party鈥檚 subtle examination of class and blackness in American society? Which is more damning, the early-90s-era homophobia in CB4 or the old actors playing high school kids in House Party? And since we鈥檙e talking about hip hop, which movie has the better music?
There鈥檚 so much for Aminatou to think about before crowning the most important hip hop film of all time.
