(I almost didn't include 'Boyz' in this until I realized
I'd piss off all the Cali niggas)

'Menace' probably received the most pure critical acclaim,
but that's because white people thought they were watching
a crime story(more on this later).

All are good, but 'Menace 2 Society' had some really, really,
really, shitty acting. Again -- white people didn't notice
it because most don't actually know any black people and have
no basis for comparison.

'Menace' was BEAUTIFULLY shot, and was an enchanting, dark,
great fucking story.

But goddamn Kane couldn't act for shit.

Jada was excellent, though.

But the rest of them?

*thumbs down*

And Larenz? Meh.

Pac as Bishop >>>> Tate as O-Dogg


Pac > Cube >>>>> Tate


Pac and Cube had DEPTH. Tate was basically a cold-blooded
villain. I mean, sure, people are like that but it was still
corny. I knew niggas personally with bodies on them who hugged
and kissed they mama.

Boyz N the Hood's acting >>>>>>>>> Menace 2 Society's acting.

Juice's acting >>>>> Menace 2 Society's acting


The acting in Menace was so bad that i've begun seeing some
of the original criticisms as valid: 'Menace' was lauded by
white America as a crime story(when it really wasn't supposed
to be one) largely because the characters seemed too fucking
contrived and extreme.
