Blaxploitation

Tommy Davidson & Michael Jai summin is comin out soon - a play on the old blaxploitation films of old
I'm pretty damn stoked about this movie. it's the f'n hilarity of doing summin old but new...well sorta summin new (undercover brotha dont count)

here's the preview



here's what viki-viki-wikipedia says:
When set in the Northeast or West Coast of the U.S., Blaxploitation films tend to take place in the ghetto, dealing with hit men, drug dealers and pimps.
now aint DAT a bitch!
The genre frequently takes place in an atmosphere of crime and drug-dealing. Ethnic slurs against whites (e.g. "honky"), and negative white characters like corrupt cops, politicians, women of ill-repute and easily fooled organized crime members were common.
well....that was the truth from Coffy & Shaft, it was "the man"
Blaxploitation films set in the South often take place on a plantation, dealing with slavery and miscegenation.
ol country colored negros was what the south was portrayed as, common house niggas

so down memory lane we goooo!!
on some of my old fav's:
