20th Anniversary of Poetic Justice Film


I love this movie, I know you all love this movie too for my urban people, my 90s kids and teens who grew up with this movie. I just wanted to do something cause I know the 20th anniversary is coming up and this is one of those films that will always be an urban classic. It even has a great soundtrack as well featuring some of the most popular artist of our generation now. The soundtrack included Usher, TLC, Jodeci and so many more people. The movie we all know is about a young beautician named, Justice who goes on a journey across town with her best friend Iesha and her boyfriend, Chicago who is also friend's with Lucky, a UPS mail carrier who runs into Justice while she is working at her hair salon in the dangerous streets of South Central. The story is full of pain, a twist of fate, love, joy, but also hard lessons of life from each character within the film show true survival though each of their stories. Make sure you watch the film and always enjoy.  You know there is a song that has been blowing up the airwaves playing Kendrick Lamar featuring Drake's "Poetic Justice" with the Janet Jackson sample of "Anytime Anyplace" playing. The song definitely takes you back to that time when she had the braids,  which were so fashionable and still are today. the Janet album was out, and everyone loved this movie. So in honor of the film you have got to love the story.
