@brandonwilliams5526 That's exactly why he didn't get an Oscar. Amalak hates our people with an inhuman, demonic passion.

I work inside an adult correctional facility. I tell these offenders all of the time to start teaching these young men and women about how not to end up in jail
Damon didnt have that smile right after Andre told him he was gonna do 10 years in someone's arms. He was at a loss for words and could not say nothing.
Today's kids? That's every generation. Don't act like punks never existed before with guns and gangs. I grew up in the 70s and 80s projects. Tons of punks back then too. Stop with your ego thinking you and your generation is tougher than today because of weapons. Shit been going on forever. Been punks, bullies and gangs since dawn of time. Cowboys in the 1800's had criminal crews too. Stop with this trolling.
I wish that I could tell you that Damon fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that- but prison is no fairy-tale world. Clifton Powell and Jamal Duckett were great in this scene. Deep and powerful.
Yeah, that film came out that Sept.and didn't do the business it should've done in theaters. It needed to be a limited release first and let the audience build up by word of mouth.
I still remember this episode when it first aired. Damn I miss when we had real good shows. I remember the character Heavy D played shot him because of the drugs he was selling in the neighborhood.
Roc told Andre to go and do this. Andre at first didn't want to. I guess Andre realized he had to do it after thinking about it. Since we don't see what happened next, we can figure that Roc found out and told Andre thanks.
1:31 that he think of becoming someone bitch doing something that you don’t wanna do. That how they get down in prison I wish Damon think before he ending up doing that he will regret…
What I don't understand is that Andre still continued to be a villain in the show after this episode. How??? This should have been Andre's right off. Or his character should have changed or something. But to continue to be a bad guy, drug dealer that the neighborhood wanted out just didn't make any sense after this.
This part was pretty contrived, in reality dude would get a lot of stripes for killing his opps and there's no way an OG would DP him over that. Especially after getting threatened with a gun.

Clifton Powell killed that scene.
The 80's and the 90s sitcoms where deep as helll.
Facts. Damn right!!!!!. This show. South central.

This scene has Emmy written all over it.
He should have got on Oscar for this role because he's speaking facts.
That's TV so it'd be an Emmy.

This message should be showed again to these young boys
Damn, what a performance. Would have loved to see Powell land a role on _The Wire_ .
As a teacher, I would love to have him in my class to teach my students about the jail.
The emphasis Clifton kept putting on “SISSY PUNK”.
Andre at the end there is thinking, "Well, I did it, trash man." Roc would've been happy as to what Andre did.
Clifton Powell is excellent. I saw him in lockdown too. He just seems like a solid dude
He can play villians and heroes he can do it all
I work inside an adult correctional facility. I tell these offenders all of the time to start teaching these young men and women about how not to end up in jail
That is what SCARED STRAIGHT was used for.
@@dwightlove3704that shit fake they show jail. Not prison
Clifton Powell is such a great actor!👍🏽 I could see him playing the role of a drill sergeant.
I was getting scared. And 'm just watching Clifton here on youtube. What a great actor he is. He shows every emotion he has with his eyes.
lol yea man. People got so hung up on Pinkie that they didnt realize that Powell was a genuine stage thespian.
Damon didnt have that smile right after Andre told him he was gonna do 10 years in someone's arms. He was at a loss for words and could not say nothing.
It was either remorse for what he did or the fear that he will become someone's prison husband.
@@purpletomatocinema or could of been both.

Well, it was scripted, but he heard what Andre said throughout and since he did respect Andre, he wasn't going to tell him to leave him alone.
You know you messed up when the og is not impressed by what you did
ikr
He spoke facts....drive bys are lame...you usually hit everything but your target.....
@@robertrowdy8753 Well, he did hit his target, but he probably could've hit other innocent people as well.
Andre straighten him out

Powell deserves a Oscar for this scene

If more constructive men were involved like this, more boys would be more constructive and far less chaotic.
I wish more black shows were like this black kids need to watch show like this.
I remember this episode to a tea when I was a kid, he spoke the back in the day truth 😢😢😢
That boy was so naive, and still would've been if Andre hadn't told him the truth.
Hopefully, he listened.
No reality of prison life would slapped him in the face!
Back in that day when you didn't half to cuss to get a point across
Ya damn right
Everyone gangsta till Clifton tells you how it is
"Do you know what it's like bein' "ME"?!" Clifton held HIS role as "Andre" TIGHT!💯👍🏾👏🏽♥️
This is for today's kids who thinks they're tough because they have a gun in their hand 😂

This was for the kids of the early 90s as well when the show aired.
Clifton always kills it.
The Most Powerful Episode Clifton Powell Acted Peeps " He Scared that Boy Straight " Period 👊💯💯💯💯
Clinton Powell is one of Hollywood’s greatest character actors. An outstanding thespian
He is a goat to me he needs a star on the Walk of Fame❤
Dude had no idea what he was in for when Andre told him you bout to do 10 years in somebody's arms.
I'll bet that was what happened with Andre when he was in jail.
Doubt it goofy and you missing the point @@sha11235
Clifton Powell is cold!
he made his character very believable! very scary! there's no way he shouldn't have won an Emmy!
"Yeah that's right...call fo ya mama. If we was on lockdown I'd make you get on your knees n fix it."
I did get a Melvin vibe from him 😂

Indeed.
One of my favourite shows, back in the day
A great great actor!
Yeah I agree Clifton is a talented actor but usually plays a conniving villian and plays it well
he played MLK.. and was amazing..
Facts about that this was a classics
Powerful scene
OG
Real💯
I still remember this episode when it first aired. Damn I miss when we had real good shows. I remember the character Heavy D played shot him because of the drugs he was selling in the neighborhood.
Get you a Bible and some books and get an education! This is a trip!!!
Well, at least the schoolbooks for an education.
crazy to think clifton also voice acted big smoke lol
Is this also the same guy from Rush hour in the bright red suit?
This exact same guy
Chauncey from Menace 2 Society and the voice actor of Big Smoke from GTA SA
The mans cold!
You are one or the other. You can't be blessed and cursed at the same time
I got frozen it time for 3 minutes as he spoke 😱
What movie or show is this?
@Toyin Animashaun thank you 👍

Someone should make an SFM of Big Smoke saying Clifton Powell's dialogue in some of his films
2 Number 9s, a Number 9 Large, ......
Don't ask a wise man, friend. Ask a fool

Powerful enough Real is Real
He may have been a drug dealer but he gave did game that little punk a dose of reality.
This was sort of where he started to redeem himself in the community, by helping people not end up in the same situation he ended up in..
All we have to do, is follow the dawn train CJ.
BIG SMOKE
Mane damn near scared me str8 hell 😆
Why he have not got Oscar yet or a star on the walk of fame
"All you had to do was follow the damn train cj!!!
I believe thee title so much it is ashame that is true.
Extremely!!
There was a shooting just last night just a block away from my home. At least 1 person is dead.
Actor Clifton Powell is no dummy.you CANNOT outsmart him.he can detect something in a second when he realizes something's not right.
Always wondered why they canceled roc
Same reason why they canceled shows like "The Newsroom" it was too hard hitting and never sugarcoated its subject matters.
Stupidity. They didn't see that this was a worthwhile show for blacks while keeping on the minstrel show Martin.
So someone help me. Are Andre and Roc friends now?
Not really friends
I’ve seen way too many people saying “he should of told Roc” that’s doesn’t really fit Andre character
Roc told Andre to go and do this. Andre at first didn't want to. I guess Andre realized he had to do it after thinking about it. Since we don't see what happened next, we can figure that Roc found out and told Andre thanks.

Why no women thou are loose clips🤣
That boy may not have realized it but Andre just may have saved his life with this
As long as he followed what he said.
This was a great show. It was interesting to see Andre attempt to change as well.
Clifton Powell is a legend, he can compete with any actor
Facts!!
Except Denzel Washington
Powell speaking facts.
This is a baby boy moment when ving rahams was schooling jodie about that life.
I wonder if some of this came from Andre's own experiences in jail as well as Charles Dutton's.
