Yes this was the first movie about the crack epidemic in Black America even tho it was not to accurate at times. It did show how the drug turned neighborhoods into hoods. The first time I went to the movies alone in 1990/91 at 14 yo. I became obsessed with movie and still thanked it to this day for keeping me from never touching crack.

There was a NINO BROWN in every major city in America in the 1980's and 90's. Some were even worse. Our Nino in WASHINGTON D.C. during this time was Rayful Edmunds. I had a relative who was a hired gunman for Edmunds was sentenced to 22- 100 year sentences serve consecutively.

Definitely was. I loved how 'Paid in Full' talked about how 'Scarface' had such a deep, powerful effect on the young men from that era wanting to be gangsters and so tough and violent. It's proof that rap was so effected by films like Scarface, GoodFellas, and this to try and emulate those folks from the mafia era and the impact it had on so many communities.

Coming from NYC i can tell u that New Jack era was so much fun. Great music, styles, hairdo's and all. U heard Queen Latifah in the beginning, the groups Guy and LeVert in the mix among other great artists. Kareem was R&B singer Christopher Williams who never acted before, his music was played, and u even got the Reverend played by Nick Ashford from Ashford & Simpson. The legendary rapper Fab 5 Freddy as the Master of Ceremonies and Keith Sweat singing at the wedding and alot more. So much talent. Love this movie!🔥I would recommend "Romeo Must Die"(2000) with Jet Li and the late, beautiful Aaliyah💙

[@kinggee5605]

This movie is loosely based on the crack era in general. Even tho it was inspired by the Chambers Brothers, The Supreme Team was doing this as well in Queens and various other spots in NYC. But I’m glad yall did a movie review on this becuz yall seem like yall were born in the 2000s. It’s a really good educational movie. I was born in the 80s but raised in the 90s going into the easily 00s which was my teenage years by 2001. I remember being a kid in the 90s and I saw how crack affected the community back in the day. It set a lot of ppl back, it was a dirty era. Definitely do yall research on the crack era and how it got started it’s a deep story. I just hope crack don’t make a comeback in the near future becuz u have a whole generation growing up that don’t know anything about that drug. They’ll think they r trying something new and will mess their life up.

[@dawb86]

Everywhere. Oakland, Detroit, Houston, Miami. That's why so many related to it. Like Quik had that song "Jus Lyke Compton" back in the day. The crack epidemic was unfortunately OUR story, not just one cities. Too many young bros exposed to too much money and power and willing to do anything to get their hands on it. I don't think crack will ever make a comeback; the name itself holds too much of a negative association culturally but the lean and pills are basically the same thing, they just not running around willing to steal people's TVs to get some.

[@derickspencejr.6998]

New jack city feels like a horror movie because lots of people get killed. I felt so bad for Chris Rock man. Wesley Snipes and Ice T are an awesome duo.

[@skullandbones1832]

3:43 Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s Jeep really popular everywhere. They made special subwoofer boxes that would specifically fit a Jeep. By the time you got done customizing your jeep spend around 20 grand and another 6 grand on the car audio system.

Nino is the Boss, Gmoney works with Nino not Partners. Nino is a Psychopathic homicidal killer, G ain’t no where near the Gangster Nino is.

[@dawb86]

They were partners. The money/power corrupted Nino. The whole movie's about his descent into darkness. It starts with him dropping someone to his death and ends with him literally falling to his own. His last chance for redemption was when he didn't show mercy to G-Money and just leave town with him. Sparing his "brother" was his final chance to accept the grace of God and redeem himself but mentally he was too far gone and didn't know it....

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

New Jack City is one of my favorite movies. That, Boyz N The Hood, Juice & Menace II Society is the Mount Rushmore of hood classics. Each movie taught us life lessons, launched a lot of careers, starrs rappers, directed by black film directors, people have named themselves after the characters, each movie has been referenced in songs, other movies & tv shows & each movie is still relevant 30 plus years later. Wesley Snipes was a household name in the 90s. He went toe to toe with the likes of Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne & Samuel L. Jackson. Pookie should have been in the X games the way he was riding that bicycle. Here are some fun facts: Martin Lawrence was supposed to play Pookie. He didn’t due to the untimely death of his mentor comedian/actor Robin Harris who played Kid’s dad in House Party. Martin took Robin’s death really hard. Chris Rock bombed the audition. What made the writers, directors & producers have a change of heart when he said it keeps calling me man & calling me man. He embodied the crackhead role. Detective Stone was played by the director of this movie Mario Van Peebles. Vin Diesel was in this movie. He was a bouncer at the club in the beginning. He’s unrecognizable because he had hair. R.I.P. to Bill Nunn (Duh Duh Man) & Bill Cobbs (The Old Man). I would for you guys to watch the following movies: King Of New York Fresh South Central New Jersey Drive Blue Hill Avenue Deep Cover In Too Deep Brooklyn’s Finest Sugar Hill (1994)

[@R20-d4t]

The 1991 film New Jack City was not directly based on a specific gang, but it drew significant inspiration from real-life criminal organizations, including Detroit’s Chambers Brothers and Young Boys Inc. (YBI). These two groups were infamous for their innovative drug distribution tactics and street dominance during the 1970s and 1980s. Chambers Brothers The Chambers Brothers, originally from Arkansas but based in Detroit, became notorious for creating a crack cocaine empire. They were known for their use of young, impressionable workers to run their operations and for leveraging abandoned homes as crack houses. Their rise and fall closely resemble some of the plot elements in New Jack City, particularly the organized and hierarchical nature of the fictional Carter drug enterprise. Young Boys Inc. (YBI) Young Boys Inc., also a Detroit-based operation, was one of the first gangs to employ minors as drug couriers to avoid legal repercussions. Their innovative approach to drug trafficking and emphasis on using the community's youth could also have influenced the portrayal of Nino Brown's operations in New Jack City. Connections to the Film While New Jack City primarily fictionalized the rise and fall of a drug kingpin named Nino Brown (played by Wesley Snipes), it clearly incorporated elements of real-life drug empires, blending influences from multiple sources, including Detroit's gang culture, New York City's crack epidemic, and broader national trends in organized crime. Director Mario Van Peebles and writer Barry Michael Cooper have acknowledged the film's roots in real-life events and figures, including Detroit's drug scene and the crack epidemic of the 1980s. So while New Jack City wasn't directly based on YBI or the Chambers Brothers, their influence on the film's narrative and depiction of the crack cocaine trade is undeniable.

[@dawb86]

​@@noizynaybah5827 Nah, I wasn't disagreeing with you. Just saying like Too Short with "The World Is a Ghetto" or Quik with "Just Lyke Compton," it wasn't a NY struggle. It was OUR plight/struggle. I think these young cats need a modern era message movie like this or 'Menace to Society' almost more than we did back then. This era of rap gives so little in the way of morals or consequences in the music and got them out here stalking their own neighborhoods like zombies with a nine tucked in their sweater smh....
