    @RasaqBoi

    this is great for newbs who didn’t know the 90s
    Hoops scene
    And how beginnings of the marriage between hip hop and basketball
    So many life lessons can be taught from this one movie alone

    This will shock newer audiences cause it actually has real rap music with nobody singing meaningless lyrics on autotune

    Are you kidding me!? Leon was launching nothing but 3 point jumpers at the end of the movie. Tupac was absolutely incensed because that Ninja Leon was not missing from 3. No way the Bombers come back and win if Leon doesn't go straight Klay Thompson in corduroys.

    Leon was mentally unstable and everybody was like, this is fine. Was allowed to be Duane Martin's step father and everything.. the 90's were crazy

    Above the rim is like blacksplotatilon and ghetto fabulous, and thuglyfe worship.
    It stars a young Tupac - who played a dramatic role that people saw as mature and fresh for an inexperienced actor.
    If you really want to watch a good movie I suggest: Bad Boys with Sean Penn, or Deer Hunter with Tom Berenger.
    Hoop Dreams.
    Above the rim is not real life.

    Yep... Just narrowly the best r&b/hip-hop soundtrack of all time, to me anyway . Juice is a very close second.

    That's a good choice of words.
    Hip hop died after the 80s for me.
    The fat boys, run dmc, kurtis blow, beastie boys, Ll cool j Doug e fresh, I still believe that there is not a better rap song than beatstreet breakdown by mellie Mel. White lines by grandmaster flash, or jam on it by nucleus. Roxanne shante. And frankly Chaka Khan, El DeBarge.
    That's my hip hop.
    The rest of rap is terrible.
