Scenes From The Past: Juice circa 1992

.

1992 was the shit. I remember bringing the soundtrack to the movie "Juice" to school to listen to Eric B and Rakim's song "Know the ledge" as we ran laps in gym class. Clearly the gym techer a the suburban elementary school I went to didn't know what he was getting into.ire
This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie. The humor, pain,irony and satire of the black male urban experience is all caught in this scene. The character "Bullet" was a fool! Although his character played a brief part in the movie. It was significant, and funny as hell. A tragic comedy I must say. The actions of the character "Bullet" spark a cache of emotions to ripple through the lives of "Bishop", 'Que" and the crew. Eventually bringing on the loss of trust, innocence and friendship amongst the "Wrecking Crew"
Sip the Juice.
