@@thomasbrown3356Exactly! Roc was the big brother he never had. Anybody else would’ve been pushing up daisies messing with Andre. But he respected Roc in a way he didn’t understand himself. That’s a MAN respecting another MAN. 🤓🤓
Andre sence redemtion in the Rock, as he for the first time sees a way to redeem himself. The rock is guidanse and Andre sees hope in him but he dont say it. Andre is tired of his old life.
Show was fantastic! Great moments of talent, comedic and dramatic. You know it’s good when you’re watchin’ one of those scenes and everyone gets quiet to see what happens, on the set, in the scene & in the house watchin’ the show.🫢😉
Lol... this is so fake, Roc would have got popped in that bar if this wasn't a sitcom, there would have been no, if you shoot speech... self-righteous garbage man... that's all you see? Educated garbage man...
Easy with that - FOX was the only channel in the early 90's that would've given this show time. They were progressive and wanted to attract younger viewers. It got way too real, yes,. But other networks wouldn't have let it get out of the gates at all.
I like that they made Andre nuanced. There were a lot of layers on why he didn't kill Roc. You see throughout his run on the show that he actually tries to keep his business quiet and running smooth. Can't do that shooting everyone that upsets you. He also seems to live by a code in terms of what he does for violence and when. When he talks to the kid in prison, he was disgusted that the kid used a drive by shooting like a coward, where he could have hit people not involved in his dispute, rather than walking right up to the person he had a problem with. He's not a senseless killer. And finally I think he saw Roc as an obstacle. But he also saw him as a guy just doing what he felt he needed to do, and was willing to stand up to someone like Andre to do it, while not resorting to trying to seriously hurt him. There was definitely respect there.
Andre respected Roc because he wished that he had the type of honor and pride that Roc had he stepped to him with no gun no people and didn't to take no money or territory. With all the power Andre has he don't like himself like Roc does
I think the biggest reason he didnt kill Roc had more to do with how respected he was in the community. He was everything andre was. Two strong men who stood their ground and were fearless when it came time to make a move. You kill Roc and best believe whatever operation he had going on would have been put to bed. Most drug dealers generally arent callous towards people on the outside and are smart enough to understand that civilian casualties only bring more attention to something that doesnt need it. Roc and Andre were both leaders that just different paths
@@scenesthathit1958 This stands apart for the daring one live one-take shows. Never say anything like that in my lifetime. Brought the best of film and stage acting in one show.
Yo, Roc was a beast💯 A regular guy who wasn't afraid of the neighborhood villains. He lived his life and just wanted better for his family, but he stayed ready.
Clifton Powell is an excellent actor and a very underrated one. Even though he often plays the villain, he brings something new and fresh and great to every character he plays and does it well and with endless authenticity and heart. Good Man and Good Actor.

The most underrated show on TV. You can rewatch thisbon Pluto TV it's worth rewatching even if you saw it back then. Powerful acting like this over serious issues you don't even see anymore

That and south central. At least roc got a few seasons. South central was too real and got canceled after a few episodes
Definitely!!!!!!
mrmvp2323+ tbh south central was sort of a precurser to moesha more realistic, more somewhat violent and more serious version of moesha
*you really felt the Hood in this show....this show really showed true blackness and authenticity and it taught alot of lesson.....need more shows like this*
We do & always have.....it's called "Situation Comedy"....hence...."Sitcom".
Yep
Just realizing Roc and Martin used the same studio and set basically for Nipseys and this bar. And for the barbershop
Good catch!!
Both were on the same network. I guess they were trying to save money on production.
They may have repurposed the same sets but the shows were filmed at 2 different studios. Roc was recorded at Hollywood Center Studios (now called Sunset Las Palmas Studios) and Martin was filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Andre always theatening Roc but the coward drug dealer never tried to kil Roc.
That's how much of a punk he is.
It's more nuanced than that. Andre respected Roc for his convictions and he knew he was right, most of the time. It's way harder to disrespect a man.

i used to love this show. it should have been on much longer than it was.
Roc was that man. We need more examples like this. It would help so many young folk. Clifton Powell played that role.
Man I used to love watching ROC especially when en vogue was on
i miss this show
You will never see TV like this again!
Yo ass has been spared again AAAYYYYYY 😂😂😂😂😂
He went hard with that trumpet playing son
Roc: if you shoot me you gonna have to shoot everyone else in here.
Me: " speak for yourself Roc.....Im out"
The football team in there right😂alot of big body's in that piece❤😂❤😂😂😂😂😂
He needs to be demoted. Rock was supposed to get slapped with that pistol 😂😂😂
Great show very powerful
Bar like nah not me😂😂
You’ll never see street dudes dressed like that again
Pinky before the Jheri curl.
What’s the name of this tv show?
Spared again TRASHMAN I felt that in my soul cause anyone else would’ve been dead long time long time ago.

Give my boy Clifton Powell his flowers!! Amazing show and cast
Definitely!
From Ray Charles Manager to Martin Luther King to J.Lo's boss on South Central to this role. Brother has serious range.
He probably didn’t get a star on the ground right?

ROC HAD NO FEAR ... MORE MEN LIKE HIM WOULD MAKE OUR COMMUNTIES GREAT
Having "no fear" will get you killed
There have always been strong men out there, maybe not where you're from, but we are all over.....we just don't need attention.
Today's black woman wouldn't look Roc's way. Garbage man??😂🤣 Theyd take a drug dealer or a bear!

The worst part about this is even though this scene took part 35/40 years ago it is hyper revenant right now
Roc used to just be manhandling people. Clifton almost got thrown out the building with that push 😂
Yeah I saw that too that was at least two and a half 3 ft of a pushback
You know Dutton did real time for manslaughter and fighting INSIDE prison. So using them hands in acting was like nothing to him!
