So many hip hop references from the 90's came from this flick.

Even Biggie's alias was derived from King of New York, the black Frank White.

movie was dope, like Its crazy I`m just now seeing this, I would pass by it on netflix in the past but figured it was a cheesy flick till I looked at the cast and plot.
 
How could you have never heard of this film until now?!

This.

Thank you Biggie :pimp:
 
The black frank white.

But really, his crew was just too corny for me. The whole time im like this is the "king of new yorks" crew? Just wasnt believable.
 
About to start it now. Good looks on the recommendation. Gotta see if it's really seeing Paid In Full

Film is light YEARS ahead of Paid In Full.

The fact that you're calling it a "hood" crime flick is part of the reason why it doesn't get any love.

**** has amazing actors in it (Walken, Snipes, Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buschemi etc.) and you're comparing it to a movie starring.....Cam'ron.

You can tell what people thought of that seeing as how he's only done Killa Season since then :lol:

I wouldn't expect young dudes to know or appreciate it. But dudes who know....know.

Where you think B.I.G. got "Frank White" from?
