The 90’s and the early-mid 2000’s were undoubtably defining periods for both film and Hip-Hop culture. Do you remember flicks such as House Party, Poetic Justice, and Friday? One of the most central themes throughout the monumental films that we’ve chosen, links back to- love. Loyalty & Love infused with timeless drama, are shown in all aspects throughout the given moments.
The ladies of Her Source has put together some of our top favorite movie moments starring Hip-Hop artist such as Nas, Ice Cube, T.I and more!
House Party (1990)
“House Party” is the first in a phenomenal film franchise. It also was the first time rappers Kid and Play landed movie roles. This is also the first movie that introduced the world to A.J. Johnson (who later starred in the movie Baby Boy) and one of the many films that Tisha Campbell had a starring role in.
Amidst all the chaos, confusion, and sexual chemistry that the night presented to the crew, there was one particular facet of the flick that stood out- the epic dance off between the couples, that later spawned the famous Kid ‘n Play dance. This is a critical point in the movie for Kid and his romantic interest Sydney (Tisha Campbell) who he later shares an intense kiss with.
