Hip Hop 101: ‘New Jack City’ premiered in theaters on March 8, 1991. Directed by Mario Van Peebles, the crime thriller starred Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Chris Rock, Judd Nelson, and Allen Payne. The film followed the rise and fall of Nino Brown (played by Snipes), a ruthless drug lord in New York City, and the efforts of law enforcement to take him down.
The movie became a cultural landmark, known for its gritty portrayal of the crack epidemic, its influence on Hip Hop culture, and its memorable performances—especially Chris Rock’s role as “Pookie,” a recovering addict. The film’s soundtrack, featuring artists like Ice-T, Guy, and Keith Sweat, also became a hit.🎥✨Salute!🫡
