If you're of a certain age (a.k.a. GROWN), then Rick Famuyiwa's 2015 film Dope is definitely for you. And even if you're on the younger tip, this is a great homage to what we consider the Golden Age of Hip Hop music and culture.
Topics discussed:
- This movie's wild, not-for-the-faint-of-heart ride
- The gold mine of '90s Hip Hop jams
- Shameik Moore: dynamic leading man
- Rick Famuyiwa gifts us a tribute to Hip Hop culture, as he did with Brown Sugar.
- A powerful social message about stereotyping based on socioeconomic status
