Joining the military is a get out now strategy. A few of my friends in VA did the same thing. When its hot time to bounce. I enjoyed this interview. Legend 🔥
When Stone said "I'm going to stomp ya ears together" I felt that everytime. I wondered who would've wrote such a non Hollywood line like that. Now I realize they was just being authentic. Good times man 😂
I met him at the laundromat in Berwyn He was with his wife and maybe one or two kids.of his. I went to him And I ask him are you from Cooley High and he laughed. SO he said yes... Got his autograph and a picture about 7 years ago. Good memorie
Thank you for this! I am only 34 years young, however this is My Granny's fav movie so I've been hearing these sounds since she carried my mother! Yesss I even dyed my hair in high school because of Brenda. I begged my mother and told her it was only because of Brenda, and that year I would be turning 17 years young. Cooley High Will always be that movie! Blessings to everyone here 🧡
That was a good interview this man is a legend. A real ORIGINAL GANGSTER. IN THE 70s I am watching COOLEY HIGH KNOW. 06/13/2021 ON THE GRIO CHANNEL. LOL.HE IS A COOL DUDE .♥️♥️🌞
@@lelemarie6125 Man, tell your uncle he damn near took over the whole movie! I had a crush on him watching this movie on TV as a little girl. "Uh. I wahn't e'en talkin' to you." 🤭🤣
The truth of the matter is that most of the "actors" in Cooley High weren't professional actors at all. The director stressed realism so much that he wanted actual characters to play the parts. Turman, Morris and Jacobs were the only real actors.
@@melvinpruitt3907 IDK about Steven Williams, but Townsend's role was so small in that movie that he wasn't even credited for that role, and he only had one small line. If you look at the profile of this movie on IMDb, you'll note that most of the "actors" in this movie only have this film on their resume. Even Garret Morris was cast for this role largely because he had been a NYC public high school teacher before he took up acting.
The epilogues at the end was referring to the characters in the movie, not in real life. However, Norman Gibson ("Robert") was killed in real life just over a year after the movie was released in 1975.
The catch wid Cooley High is i laughed all through the whole movie and at the end I'm sad as Hell and didn't know why until recently..Reason that's just the way it is in real life sometimes often times.Great film. Oh snap and I was at the original showing in 1975..And the Blackstone Rangers had made their way all the way to a lil city Called Htfd Ct
Hermene Hartman yep there's a guy in Cali that interviews original G's (crip and blood)about the origins and history of the gangs...the channel is Kev Mac videos....the videos are great info on the history...check them out....i think it was Barefoot Pookie who said it...but it definitely came from one of the originals.
I bet lawrence hilton jacobs Is still mad the way he died the way he did in the movie, And he only died because Glenn Turman is the one that caused it by snitching but you know and then he got to pay for it.
We have two class of men crimefest and wanna be right all the time...speaking from experience l dated both class of men, the true to life and protect men are the ones that were crimefest and changed...but knew how to think to get around the system, without getting into any trouble they're understanding with compassion...but stayed on point, the wanna be right men (some, not all) l dated were somewhat terrible and l had to put them in their place for trying to disrespect men...a man that has two more dollars then you or the average man in the street, were mean and nasty...try to degrade you in front of people, even try to hit you but in my case l hit back and l will grab the heaviest object to knock you out...they want to detail your whereabouts, that was because that individual was insecure and never had friends...since l stayed busy and was popular back in my day, they were very insecure and when you ever date a man like that you've to walk away...because if you allow a man that claim they love you so much, it should never be drama and being in combat mode is not safe or a healthy to no fun relationship...so grateful for Stone to be real about his lifestyle and there is a better way in life!!!
Tóp 1O movies of all time top 5 Black movies of all time
Growing up I knew some brothers like Stone and Robert. When I saw Cooley High I recognized the realism in their portrayals. A+

I love insight behind movie making
Great to see this brother still alive and striving 👍Cooley High 4ever.
This is striving?
@@mrp9507 make great efforts to achieve or obtain something is the meaning of Striving.What seems to be your problem with that?🤔
@@mrp9507 I think that you have the words Striving and Thriving misconstrued" 🤔

The ending of the movie I really thought he did died n 1966

Rick Stone Bleeds "COOL" When I was in 5th Grade and Cooley High came out, We all wanted to be Stone and Robert!

God Bless this Brother "ah nah, I wahn't e'en talkin ta you" real subtle but one of the dopest lines in cinema

IKR! My FAVORITE line!

"I know that but now we shooting 50¢ am I fair"

"We can stick the whole joint up"😂😂😂😂
“He told us to go over there and beat him up and that’s what we did.”😂😂
Beautiful story i didn’t know the other guy died till tonight watching vlad tv with Garrett morris
The original Chicago OG
For The Brothers Who Ain't Here!!!
You can't forget those lips.
He had a missing tooth in the movie. Very convincing in his role.
He wasn’t acting
That was a good interview this man is a legend. A real ORIGINAL GANGSTER. IN THE 70s I am watching COOLEY HIGH KNOW. 06/13/2021 ON THE GRIO CHANNEL. LOL.HE IS A COOL DUDE .♥️♥️🌞
before MENACE TO SOCIETY ….. before BOYZ N THE HOOD, before JUICE …….. there was a movie called - COOLEY HIGH …...

@Keisha Murphy I feel the same way about you.😍😂✌🏾
He's my uncle. Add me on Facebook to stay in tune, I'm trying to get him to do a small tour. So many people want to meet him. Facebook Aelicia Carr
@@lelemarie6125 Man, tell your uncle he damn near took over the whole movie!
I had a crush on him watching this movie on TV as a little girl.
"Uh. I wahn't e'en talkin' to you." 🤭🤣
He is so animated and a good story teller .... I smiled the whole time I watched him. Hate to hear his buddy didnt make it.

Moral of the story, give these struggling blacks a job and they'll straighten up.
That's fucked up they whipped Lawrence Hilton Jacobs aka cochise for real 😂😂😂
fam the musicman LMAO!
At least you know the beat down was authentic and not staged.
SHADOWNINE79 😂😂😂😂
Oops😳...they better break it down to the brothers in the hood.🤣
😅😅😅lmmao they kicked his arse 4 real. 😅
Soon as he said R. Kelly, I knew which video he was talking about. It's "Step in the name of love."
Wow, Thanks for sharing. That was great. I love it
You either gone make me or break me classic movie😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His name is Sherman Smith, and as far as I'm concerned, he was the real star of "Cooley High."
The truth of the matter is that most of the "actors" in Cooley High weren't professional actors at all. The director stressed realism so much that he wanted actual characters to play the parts. Turman, Morris and Jacobs were the only real actors.
That's not true...Steven Williams was as well as Robert Townsend.
@@melvinpruitt3907 IDK about Steven Williams, but Townsend's role was so small in that movie that he wasn't even credited for that role, and he only had one small line. If you look at the profile of this movie on IMDb, you'll note that most of the "actors" in this movie only have this film on their resume. Even Garret Morris was cast for this role largely because he had been a NYC public high school teacher before he took up acting.
Joseph Carter Wilson and Lynn Caradine were also both in the Monkey Hustle.
@@melvinpruitt3907 And those were the only roles they played outside of Colley, and they received those roles because of their connection to Townsend
It is a hood classic regardless though ,one of my all time favorites besides (CLAUDINE)
Lawrence Hilton Jacob probably still mad about that.
lainey wright I literally laughed out loud at that part.
No wonder he be frowned thee hell up.🤣
*RIGHT ON RICK, LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ONE DAY SEEING YOU IN A PLAY IN CHI-TOWN!*
Glenn Turner didn’t know how to shoot dice stone and Robert two original gangsters from the movie Cooley
Great interview!
thank you
He was convincing because,he Was Not Playing😂
Would love to just hear him discuss the movie and Chicago street stories✊🏾
Love my people in "New Mississippi" AKA Chi-Town AKA Chicago.
My grandma moved from Mississippi to the Chi in the 60s. Used to go there in the 80s and 90s to see her growing up.
Cooley high such a classic movie stone Roberts. He played real good in this movie 🍿
Wow I always thought Stone and Roberts were dead
The epilogues at the end was referring to the characters in the movie, not in real life.
However, Norman Gibson ("Robert") was killed in real life just over a year after the movie was released in 1975.
LOL @ 4:57 "Aw, I wasn't even talking to you"
"I wooden even talkn to youuuu"! Lol
My mans was a real street cat..shout to the cobra stones
4:00 I love when says "bullshit." Swag as hell. LOL
I wondered what happend to Dorthy in the movie she was hilarious lol
Dude is cool
He look like lite skin Terrence Howard the second one
Dude is real cool.
Sad what happened to his friend but glad he is doing well
He seems super cool in real life! Good clip!
Great watch!! Cooley High was before my time but pure nostalgic and I watch it often. I laugh throughout. I still cry at the end.
This was funny as all get out!
nice.. all I care about was, did they get paid well?
Am I faded yeah you fade it 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂
Best laugh.
Did he and Norman write half the movie?
The catch wid Cooley High is i laughed all through the whole movie and at the end I'm sad as Hell and didn't know why until recently..Reason that's just the way it is in real life sometimes often times.Great film. Oh snap and I was at the original showing in 1975..And the Blackstone Rangers had made their way all the way to a lil city Called Htfd Ct
@Knuckle Game True.. just saying when it came to our lil city in "75" we were there at the Colonial movie theater
He taught him how to shoot dice 🎲 You learned a lot from the black man
He said R Kelly wore that scarf and hat because of him and Robert....thats also where the original crips got wearing the scarf and hat from.
stop playing is that really true?
Hermene Hartman yep there's a guy in Cali that interviews original G's (crip and blood)about the origins and history of the gangs...the channel is Kev Mac videos....the videos are great info on the history...check them out....i think it was Barefoot Pookie who said it...but it definitely came from one of the originals.
Pabst20 Pabst I’m familiar with Kev Brown videos. They’re great. Thanks for letting me know that. Rick would love to know that.
So Rick and Norman beat Lawrence up for real?
I bet lawrence hilton jacobs Is still mad the way he died the way he did in the movie, And he only died because Glenn Turman is the one that caused it by snitching but you know and then he got to pay for it.
