Give IT!!
If you aint Smokey it aint your muvafuckin message...
If you were listening to good Hiphop at all in the mid nineties you were bound to hear samples from The Education of Sonny Carson, the true life story of his rough upbringing, gang membership and attempts to survive in post civil rights America. The movie was allegedly made on a million dollar budget and they used the residents of the neighborhood as extras, so it feels authentic. At times it'll make you laugh, as some of "Sonny's" faces are highly overexaggerated, but they don't overshadow the seriousness of the reality of the inner cities in 1974.
Most notably Ghostface Killa, Lauren Hill and Common have sampled the flick. The best sample by far being the pep talk that takes place before the big gang fight..."sucka think he good, sucka think he can woop me..i know he can't woop me, i know he can't...hey boy, the nigga whole style is chump...Classic.
But Hiphop is more than entertainment. Enjoy the music, live the message.
