I wore a Dre Chronic t-shirt today. One person commented.. Everyone else all day...... nada... . doubt any of them knew what The Chronic was.. Barely know who Dre is..
Thinking about it.. Dre, Snoop, NWA, etc are now as old as The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, etc were when I was in high school.
Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre.
Well playedQuote:

Public Enemy. KRS1 and Boogie Down Productions. Queen Latifah. Brand Nubian.
I don't live stateside, so I apologize if this is old to you.
KRS1, yes.Quote:

That's like your opinion man.Quote:

This movie was crazy realistic to how life was as a kid back then. You can substitute the skateboard for a bmx bike as well.Quote:

Skis don’t really work because it’s about hanging out in your group in the city/burbs getting into shit. Before internet and cell phones. You tell your mom your going to your friends house then hop on on public transit to the city, have a bum buy you some 40’s, skateboard at the hot spots, get into fights,chased by cops/security guards,finger a girl….and home before dark.Quote:

I feel sorry for the always connected generation(s). No find my ass iphone. And honestly, I think my parents liked it that way too.

Agree, the bump in PA I grew up “skiing” on was mostly a dirt weed and underage drinking cover while attempting to break my neck doing 720’s off the mounds of snow piled up under the snow making machines.Quote:

Kids.
Unfortunately the trailer does not do the film justice.
The trailer is lacking the rape and the skateboard beat down and the drugs.

Snowshoe was the Wild West BITD. Zero police presence, only a useless and highly bribable group of security guards. A young workforce all too willing to enable the debaucherous desires of a bunch of idiot teenagers. It was college training with some skiing mixed in.Quote:
