This is arguably the greatest coming of age teen movie ever: Bullying is seen as wack, drinking doesn’t look cool, wholesome dance party, no drugs seen as cool, elderly wealthy black folks protect young black kids from cops, widowed father out all night searching for his son, the greatest dance sequence of all time, young love, safe sex was seen as cool, first amazing rap battle on film, brotherhood through childhood and love of hip hop, etc. I’ve said my part.

Kinda surprised that Jaby didn't notice that the guy named "Clinton X" is "Russell" from "Living Single", the guy he hates so much 😂

I love that the three bullies are actually three, buff, r&b singers(Full Force) in real life lol. The song they're doing the dance-off to is literally their song, "Ain"t My Type of Hype" 😆...
