20th year anniversary of groundbreaking movie Juice

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the legendary movie Juice. The movie starred Tupac, Khalil Kain, Samuel Jackson, Queen Latifah, Treach, Omar Epps, and Jermaine Hopkins.

The movie Juice was a groundbreaking urban film about four inner-city teens who get caught up in the pursuit of happiness and power, which is referred to as “The Juice”.

20 years ago, when director Ernest Dickerson released Juice in 1992, he definitely changed hip-hop’s relationship with Hollywood. Before, “Juice”, there weren’t many movies that effectively revealed the harsh realities in the inner city. The soundtrack was even groundbreaking featuring hip-hop classics like “Juice (Know the Ledge),” Too $hort’s “So You Want to Be a Gangster” and Naughty by Nature’s “Uptown Anthem.”

Treach from Nature by Nature and Khalil Kain sat down with MTV RapFix to chat about the film.
