Thus far, Mitchell nor his representatives have spoken publicly regarding the allegations. (Reps for both companies confirmed to Deadline that Mitchell is no longer a client but would not comment further.) Mitchell was also quickly fired by UTA and Authentic. The incident was investigated immediately and thoroughly, leading to Mitchell’s termination from Desperados, in which he was to star opposite Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp and Robbie Amell.Ī rep for Good Universe confirmed Mitchell has left the movie, declining further comment. I hear the decision was made after the producers had received information about an alleged off-set incident. I hear the dismissal from dramedy Desperados, a Good Universe production for Netflix, came first. The specifics are sketchy, but I hear the accusations were so serious they have led to Mitchell being dropped by his agency, UTA management company, Authentic Talent & Literary Management a Netflix movie he had been cast in as a lead, Desperados and the successful Showtime drama he stars in, The Chi. Movies like Hustle And Flow, Juice, Belly and all the early Spike Lee joints, especially Do The Right Thing, which, like Breakin’, was a huge influencer in the early days of hip hop culture that didn't make it on to this list and easily could have been included.Rising star actor Jason Mitchell (The Chi, Straight Outta Compton) is facing a career crisis over allegations of inappropriate behavior. There are a ton more movies that are worth any hip hop and movie fan's time. It helped launched Chris Rock’s career and stars a great cast that includes a ton of cameos from big hip hop stars like Ice-T, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, and Flavor Flav. Sure, it pulled some punches and didn’t hit as hard as it could have at times and maybe hit too close to home for some hip hop stars liking, but there is no doubt that with this satirical take on the whole genre, hip hop was a part of mainstream pop culture and would be forever.ĬB4, like it’s rock n roll cousin This Is Spinal Tap, is shot mockumentary-style and follows the up and coming rappers Albert, Euripides, and Otis as they seize on the gangsta drug culture that plagues their neighborhood, stealing the identity of a local hustler and criminal and “inventing” gangsta rap, right down to Eazy-E’s iconic style. Starring O’Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Neil Brown Jr., and Aldis Hodge, ‘Straight Outta Compton’ is a biographical drama film. CB4 is a comedic masterpiece, despite what any critic might say about it. In 1993, a young Chris Rock wrote what would become hip hop’s answer to This Is Spinal Tap. Breakin’ is a major reason hip hop exploded out of the cities and into mainstream culture. For many in Generation X, it was their first exposure to the genre and it had a huge impact on them. Hip Hop still wasn’t anywhere near the mainstream, but Breakin’ turned into a surprise hit, especially with middle school white kids in the suburbs. Run-DMC’s first album had just been released a couple months before Breakin’ came out. To understand how important it was, you have to put yourself back in 1984. Breakin’ is the story of a “serious” dancer that becomes obsessed with breakdancing, leaves her training for the streets, and eventually leads herself and her two friends in a routine that wins a dance competition. And that’s kinda the only reason it’s on the list, because, frankly, the plot is silly and the acting is average at best. Rap-ryhmä N.W.A nousee Comptonin kovilta kaduilta julkisuuteen 1980-luvun puolivälissä mullistaen hiphop-kulttuurin raaalla ja provosoivalla autenttisuudellaan. Okay, so Breakin’ isn’t EXACTLY about hip hop music, but its impact on the spread and mainstreaming of hip hop culture was so profound, it warrants making this list. 2015 13+ 2 t 26 min Yhteiskunnalliset draamat.
