Menace II Society was so raw, I feel Wale. It was one of those movies that kept me up at night. For days. I remember being sad bc I just wanted Kane to make it out. Both great movies that will never get old.
You obviously are too young to know what’s really up. Menace to society is full of bad acting and a lot of unnecessary violence, Boyz-N-The-Hood is a realistic emotional view of life in South Central that dives into the issues that matter.
O-Dog s character was exemplified what it was like to be a nikka that just didn't give a fuck while killing the acting.Boyz didn't have that for me.Boyz was more information and consequences.
Boys in the hood 🏠 as well. I saw it as a kid & didn't know how to read. But I was shocked 😳 when I read Do boy died 2 weeks after. Ricky' passing was Sad AF 😞
For years I picked Boyz N The Hood, but after reviewing Menace II Society, I say Menace II Society because it captures how the mentality of every character was shaped by the conditions of the riots. In the opening Caine said, “When the riots stopped, the drugs came in!” Very profound and overlooked statement that shaped the narrative of the movie!🎥 👍🏽
Completely different movies, Godfather is an Oscar nominated film that is literally studied in film school. Scarface is a silly 80s movie with ridiculous over the top characters
Boyz n The Hood - Menace are both tragic realities and the curses on our people. Interms of the soundtrack - track by toni toni toni -Just me and You and the nostaligia that track brings- wins hands down.
BNTH was more sentimental because of Ricky's death and the way Dough slid for him depsite their brotherlybeef with each other. Menace was more realistic tho, and Lorenz Tate absolutely embodied his role as a minor and being a goon.
Boys in the hood is a better rounded movie discussing a deeper story not just about what's going on the hood but with racism and white supremacy etc. it's a wider scope of a movie, menace is great but it's just a typical hood movie with no deeper msg or wider msg. So it depends on what refreshes your mind the most. I rather Boys in the hood but Menace is a good movie too for what it was . It's just like comparing No Vaseline with Hit em up, both diss songs but the former is wittier and more creative discussing issues greater than just dissing band members but Hit em up is just raw no holds barred attack on those targeted. It depends on how your mind works, my mind is the more creative wittier one so that's what I'll always pick.
MC Eight gave menace its back bone though, especially when he hopped out that black grand national with the desert eagle plus Roc role felt more important then Lawrence when they was speaking that knowledge because he basically shattered Kanes ego. Boys in the hood basically described every ghetto in America at the present time but menace II society had out of towner not wanting to visit California fearing of not making it out the way depicted it so it menace II society.
I grew up in LA. Graduated high school in 1985. Both movies represented what most of us went threw and experienced. I knew and lost people and friends that were exactly like each character in both movies to the tee. They both are hard!!! But I would have to go with Boys In The Hood. It was first and it covered more ground in terms of the spectrum of gang life to regular kids growing up trying not to get caught up in the trap. Menace on the other hand was straight "on sight" riders.... period!!!. LA was really like Colors, Boys In The Hood and Menace if you were in those neighborhoods. I remember when there were no drive by's. I remember when there was no cr%ck. I remember when shootings were rare. It changed in literally a summer. That was the summer right before I started high school. I knew dudes I went to high school with go from not having cars to for real buying mansions, triple white convertible rolls royces on gold dipped dayton rims with white mink fur interiors in literally 4 to 5 months. 2 months later found unalived in the rolls royces. That was the summer of 1983. In "one" summer I personally knew 25 people that didn't make it. And on top of that I would go back to detroit for summers where I'm born and my family is from. The D was like nothing else. You'd see 20 benz roll up. All 20, not one cat is old enough for a drivers license. Cats 14 & 15 years old rollin like they 30 years old. This is in 1981. So, I'm blessed to still be here, never went to prison and for that reason Boyz In The Hood is the one. Homie's dad was trying to protect and save the next generation from the pitfalls. I'm still on that mission until I'm no longer here. Salute.
From my perspective in Europe Boyz n the Hood showed the violence of American ghettos with a dramatic vision. It was a shocking societal film. After seeing this film you were thinking. Menace to society with the character O' dog we saw more of a cool vision of the gangster we liked the attitudes we wanted to be this guy talking, walking, shooting like this guy 
No I'm not even gonna attempt a choice both way too good for one to end up on the losing side Both made me laugh and almost cry and both made me wake the fuck up Love absolutely love both films
BnH. It showed everyone in the good ain't hard or bout that life. So it was realistic. For some reason, that's what KDot was representing when he said his boys told him to fall back.
I say both boys cuz the father and menace II society another reason was pj live with your grandma and grandpa so can relate to both dam good movies which I still watch
Boyz in the Hood had a bit more depth thematically, but Menace II Society was so raw. I think I enjoy rewatching Menace more but Boyz probably has the better overall story imo. That’s a hard choice😅
Love both movies........ But if I had to pick...... overall best movie was boys n the hood....... But I got to agree. O dog could not have been acted better...... He killed that roll........ O you strapped...... You nooo it.....
Menace II Society was so raw, I feel Wale. It was one of those movies that kept me up at night. For days. I remember being sad bc I just wanted Kane to make it out. Both great movies that will never get old.
It was deeper and darker imo

@@respectlife216 Shut up, Menace was based on real life as well
@@respectlife216no, boyz n the hood was a bunch of preachy bullshit. menace was a day in the life type movie. raw and uncut
“Look at the muthafuckin’ wheels” 😂
I be saying this but every time I leave the house for work

💯💯💯 Menace Was Too Real
Menace ll Society's sound track alone got me chosen Menace.
I like Boyz N the hood but Menace is my favorite hood movie of all time
I will watch menace to society over Boyz in the hood to be honest
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Menace is Just a better movie, But I will say Boyz N The hood had a better message than Menace
Over Friday?
Menace Was Cold .. That ending was too tragic
Yup tru
The ending I saw coming. As soon as ol boy was coming out of his cousin's house, I knew what time it was.
Boys in the hood 🏠 as well. I saw it as a kid & didn't know how to read. But I was shocked 😳 when I read Do boy died 2 weeks after. Ricky' passing was Sad AF 😞

Boyz N The Hood Has A Better Story To It.
Facts.
Nothing about Menace was cheesy, but Boys had its cheesy moments.
@@Robot666Houseboys was more dramatic with the plot menace was more realistic especially with Caine dying over some dumb shi
Rest in Peace John Singleton ❤❤
For Real💯💯 He Was Legend For His Movies And What He'd Done For community
Boyz captured and portrayed a better story as a group. However, menace was more relatable from an individualistic perspective. Hard to answer 😩
Strongly agreed
Brilliantly stated.
Both were relatable , neither was more relatable
@@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk MF that's YOUR opinion. You can't tell ppl what is relatable to them, tf?!? 😂😂
Menace II Society 💯
My Favorite Movie
They forgot about the movie back then " Colors vs South Central " Sheesh those raw Gangster people 😳
Hands down "Boyz n the hood"
No not hands down
Hands DOWWNN! Like what is they talmbout?!
Menace to Society shook the critics when it came out 32 YEARS AGO.
Both 💯 these real stories from Compton n south central
Yes 💯💯 South Central was a great movie too
@@Johnnyboycarter7is that the name of movie ? " South Central ?
@@Beautifullfootballl @Ourgoodplanet yes it was made back in 92 I think
Menace to society was watts Oakland California
Facts
Hands down Boyz in the Hood
That movie was a classic it actually opened my eyes what was going on in the west coast 🤔
Menace II Society 👑
A Dope Classic Gangsta Movie 🎥
Boyz in the hood made me cry when they shot ricky, that movie was so emotional
Menace was super raw and in your face. But I think Boyz was a slightly better movie.
I love both of them
They should ask Bishop or O-Dog
O-dog cause he was already like that from the jump..lol.
Pusha T almost got stuck as usual😂😂😂😂😂
Another One: The Godfather Or Scarface (The Movie)
Godfather but only cause I got cicillian blood from my great ancestors moms side
Only blk movies dog
Completely different movies, Godfather is an Oscar nominated film that is literally studied in film school. Scarface is a silly 80s movie with ridiculous over the top characters
@@mikeydubbz1 yeah it should be more like godfather vs goodfellas where goodfellas is clearly my favorite
@@JarMccall-ys7xmYOU ARE THE REAL GODFATHER
Menace hit me harder. I was 18 just like Kane when it dropped. Boyz blazed a trail for Black movies tho!

Larenz Tate Was 🔥🔥 In Menace II Society
O-Dogg one year, Drew Tate the other.
"Colors" that was the movie back in the day.
BNTH was more sentimental because of Ricky's death and the way Dough slid for him depsite their brotherlybeef with each other. Menace was more realistic tho, and Lorenz Tate absolutely embodied his role as a minor and being a goon.
Menace was raw but boyz was better presented both for me
Professional editing 👏🏾
Menace to Society embodied the 90's perfectly but Boys in the Hood reminded me more of my neighborhood growing up

What da *uck you mean, you ain't got da money yet.😆😆😆
Boyz N the Hood. And it’s not even close.
agreed
Nah Menace to Society was raw and uncut
@ no. It was just blood and guts. No depth at all.
Menace is Greater
@ not by a long shot
Menace II Society was Real & Raw!
But Boyz in tha Hood got the better story & better Actors
I'll go with Menace because O-Dog was a Real MF
Yup💯💯
Boyz n the hood for sure
Boyz N Tha Hood had more teachable moments.
MC Eight gave menace its back bone though, especially when he hopped out that black grand national with the desert eagle plus Roc role felt more important then Lawrence when they was speaking that knowledge because he basically shattered Kanes ego.

Love this podcast
Boyz in the Hood... Had me teary-eyed 😢 as a kid
Boyz ii in the hood even tho menace was good
Boyz n the hood gave menace a story line Boyz n the hood is the original
Facts.
I enjoyed menance more but Boyz N the Hood is probably a better film all together
Boys in the Hood for sure, BUT the most memorable character out of both was O Dog

Do New Jack City vs Juice 😊
Menace is my favorite movie of all time
Boyz N The Hood just because of that All - Star cast but Menace is literally right behind

Both made me laugh and almost cry and both made me wake the fuck up
Love absolutely love both films
In terms of story telling, Boyz n the Hood but in terms of pure raw emotion and violence, Menace bro
I can relate to both, very hard
Menace wins just based on the Sam Jackson throwback scene ( Kanes father) playing cards
Boosie is "O Dog"😂😂😂 I knew he was going there
It’s crazy how everyone that chose Menace, chose it because of O-Dog; who ain’t even the main character 😂 I fw it !
Gotta go Menace II Society because we use to watch it every freaking day!!! I can do the voice over on mute, til this day.
Both ✌
Love both but it Boyz in The Hood
Menace 2 Society
Boyz n the Hood

Menace to Society Was My Favorite Movie 🎥 So I 'm a Had to Go With That.
Menace ll Society had One the best Soundtrack Ever.
Both be fkn timeless classics! Ima pick Menace II Society by a hair.
Boyz N The Hood
Yo Both Classics .. boyz n hood just for being the first one but menace was cold
Menace to society is all we watched/ in the back seat strapped with the throw away Glock- juvenile
Boyz in the Hood had a bit more depth thematically, but Menace II Society was so raw. I think I enjoy rewatching Menace more but Boyz probably has the better overall story imo. That’s a hard choice😅
Boyz n the Hood. Better writing. Better characters. Better story.
Menace was way more hard core
I Got Menace 2 Society on this one just my pick my opinion
They where two great movies
I got Menace by a hair too
Love both movies........ But if I had to pick...... overall best movie was boys n the hood....... But I got to agree. O dog could not have been acted better...... He killed that roll........ O you strapped...... You nooo it.....
Menace is raw, but Boyz is more realistic as it is closer to most people’s experiences.
I got one: Juice or New Jack City
Boys in the hood because without boys in the hood success menace wouldn't have been made
boyz n the hood the cold hood movie
Game picked menace for dumbest reason ever 😂😂😂😂
Because Game is a complete idiot
Taking a shot
