you can take Dashiki out the hood, but you can't take the hood niggas out Dashiki

On Don't Be a Menace in South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood:

Wow. I had no idea. I knew that this movie was a satire, and it was a blaxploitation movie, but I hit the jackpot. This movie is a spoof of Boyz N the Hood. Literally a spoof of the movie I just watched. If you can call it a plot, it is basically the same as the plot in Boyz N the Hood. A lot of the scenes are just making fun of the scenes from Boyz N the Hood. The reason I am so surprised is because Boyz N the Hood came out five years before this movie. I am sure that there were a lot of movies in between that were also spoofed in Don't Be a Menace.

This movie is basically stereotype after stereotype after stereotype the whole way through. People are being shot constantly, everyone seems to have a gun on their person, there is a constant pursuit of sex, grandma smokes weed and curses like everyone else and I think someone is drinking a 40oz in literally every scene. It's bad. The main point of movies like this being on the list is it shows how dominate movies such as Boyz N the Hood are, that movie was so culturally significant a movie that is a spoof of it was popularized five years later.

The social commentary of this movie is not necessarily honest, it is crude. Jokes are made about sexuality about blacks, about alcoholic and drug habits about blacks and about black-on-black violence. None of those topics are particularly funny, until they are made fun of. The extent of these topics has to reach critical mass before jokes about them become mainstream, to there is also some cultural significance there. Next on the list is A Time to Kill
