Whew. He still fine!! Legend ❤
STILL!!!!
Yesss indeed, still fiiine😊😊😊
And will be FOREVA *cardib voice
Yes I agree lol
He is one of a kind!!! ❤
The kind of range it takes to play a sociopath in "Menace to Society" and a sensitive sweetheart in "Love Jones" deserves to be recognized. Larenz Tate is EVERYTHING & my ultimate childhood crush
i agree!!
That’s why he’s one of my favorite actors love his talent!
childhood?? he still holds up as my crush currently! LOL I was way too young to understand how fine he was
Don't forget he did Inkwell before Love Jones. The character he played in that movie was drastically different from O-Dog in Menace II Society. How many people remember him being in Family Matters though!?!?
Hold the gun sideways like O Dogg 🥰❤️
Why do Fools Fall In Love deserves soooo much more respect!
Ooh yeah
Indeed!
Agreed!
Tell me why…ohh tell me why😮💨ima gen Z but I kno Frankie lymon cuz of that💪🏽
Agreed 💯
The Inkwell deserves so much more. An underrated movie!
Abso-freakin-lutely!!! That character definitely had some levels to him. I enjoyed watching him evolve, too. 👏🏽
I agree.
I was talking about this with my co-workers they didn't know that movie. I almost lost my mind. Gotta love HBO and those random movies from my childhood.
Agree!!!
Agreed! One of my favorites of his
One of Chicago's finest and he never ages!😍😍
I so agree ❤
Cali but the first 9 years yall got lol
@@pjjones3351 he just said Chi is his home…
He’s aged, but gracefully❤
Von one of them
It's crazy how he was IN THE MOVIE but he still has that same reaction to that Mama comment that we have!! 🤣😂😂 WHEW!
This man has looked the exact same my whole entire life. I want that vampire water him and Pharrell are drinking
He’s probably sharing it with Will Smith and JD Williams
Me too!
They are vampires
He actually explained that he was aging really bad until he became vegan.
FR. Same
"Dead Presidents" was one of the most iconic movies of my teenage life! UGH!!!! So good!
that movie was crazy yo
I remember when it first dropped on video. My parents and I went to blockbuster to get the tape, we watched it on either a Friday or Saturday and had pizza. Great times!
That movie is so depressing
Hell yea
And the soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved The Inkwell and Why Fools Fall In Love, too. But my favorite film of Larenz thus far is Dead Presidents. Such a great film with a stellar soundtrack. Also, I’m so glad he playing Terry Silver on Power didn’t work out because I love Larenz as Rashad Tate. I’m amped he’s now on Power Book II: Ghost.
I think they should have swapped roles and not killed off Terry Silva but perhaps Councilman Tate 🤔
They had so many amazing movies to pull from for this video.
He choked the shit out of Juanita! Beat the shit out of Cowboy! That's one of my favorite movies! ❤
Yes! That’s one of my all time favorite movies in general! He was definitely awesome in this, too!
The Inkwell is such an underrated classic! Deserved to be mentioned.
Right. Gotta love cable and those random movies of my childhood. Nobody in my life has seen it. I re watched it and it still awesome!
I agree with you 💯
Larenz is still so handsome 😍 Dead Presidents was a classic!! The music, the fashion and the emphasis on the history of how Black veterans were treated when they returned back home from Vietnam.
He’s another one that just won’t age.
Yes!! Him and that daggone Nas!!!😍😍
Lol Virgos age well.
His Chris Tucker Impression Was Spot On.
I loved this!! I was smiling the entire time. Larenz Tate is so real and has never changed. He is good at playing the characters. Respect!
Me toooooo!!!!!
Love Jones is a masterpiece of a film and it set off all these spoken word open nights across the nation…. Poetry became popular again .
I always get teary eyed at the end of Dead Presidents when he’s on the bus on his way to the penitentiary! That Isaac Hayes playing and seeing him on the bus! I always said he was just trying to do the right thing and needed someone to give him a chance! Great movie man!
Loved Larenz Tate since South Central! Salute to ALL 3 of the Tate brothers!❤️💯
Yes.not a lot of people remember that sitcom.shame it didn't go on for longer
@@marxman300 movie or sitcom?
@@SlimeG-nz1rq sitcom
Loved the way he smiled the entire time watching the love jones clip.
The fact that Eazy E and Tupac could of been in Menace 2 Society blows my mind. That would have been beyond legendary.
They would have played those roles to the nines! Wow.
Cocoa butter is the only channel keeping buzzfeed alive and i love it
yup!
True
It's a part of BuzzFeed?
Had a crush on Larenz in Menace ll Society. He has a gorgeous smile!
"The Inkwell" was the movie that made me include Larenz into my favorite actors list. He had just played O-Dog in Menace as a hardened street kid and to turn turn right around and play Drew Tate, an awkward, recluse, sensitive teenager AND be believable in BOTH roles is nothing short of amazing. His range is incredible. Larenz will always be That Guy....HANDS DOWN!!💯💯💯
I love the brother to the night. Love Jones Larenz Tate
No Frankie Lymon, Why Do Fools Fall In Love?? He dropped the dog out the window! 😂
I still skip that scene every time lol
That tore me up as a kid
Larenz is so classy.
I like how he carries himself.
Yes. So handsome too!🥰
Dead Presidents is my favorite just the music alone is iconic
Ain’t that a groove by James Brown! Fist song that comes to mind! Timeless!
I met Larenz 😊 in LA and I was really impressed only because Larenz was like, the homie I grew up with lol. Cool dude. Over the years I followed him an realize his talent as an Actor, Amazing.He was so impress lol that I didn’t want his autograph,The pleasure was mines just to meet him and embrace him being what we call ‘regular,
I enjoy the conversation we had.
One ☝🏽 Love ❤️
Larenz Tate is for damn sure a living legend!! Give this man his much deserve flowers 💐 Just think of this man’s range… Frankie Lyman! O Dawg! Darius LoveHall!! Whew! This man is so cold wit it! 🙌🏾
He was in The Women of Brewster Place, too. He was one of the children. I love these movies/ shows. I also love him in Deuces with Lance Gross and Meagan Good. I loved him in Why Do Fools Fall in Love with Halle, Vivica, and Lela.
🤯never noticed that BUT is the other child Kyla Pratt? The one with the fork... I feel like that was her and Im losing my mind bc I cant find anything on it
It’s crazy how all these years and he still look the same 😍 he deserves all his flowers 💐
This is crazy
His chris tucker impression 😂
I swear every time ppl say they ddnt intend to be in a movie or ddnt want to audition, those are the movies tht bring them to the light. He was awesome as a menace, spectacular in fact. I fell in love with him as O-Dog & been in love with him ever since.
I’ve loved Larenz for 30 years! Dead Presidents is my favorite movie of his.
I always loved “Love Jones” … like a motherf-ker. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Best comment award!!!!
I love all of his roles in each movie! Love Jones is my all time favorite movie!😍😍😍
Aging so beautifully ❤❤❤ loved him on love jones and power
I'm sure his wife is proud of how well he is aging! 😘
His wife??? 😢😢😢😢😢
Lucky woman!
Larenz is royalty 👑
I hate that Why Do Fools Fall In Love doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves:(
Give this guy his 💐 while he's still alive! Larenz is a legend no doubt
Mr Tate said stay moisturized 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Drop your routine sir 😂
Black soap, and Shea butter, I use it all the time
Watching the Love Jones clip while smiling as he is smiling is everything. I love Love Jones. He is truly a legend 🤍
You can tell that he is an intelligent, and kind man who takes excellent care of himself.
Love Larenz he’s timeless ❤
He did amazing in “why do fools fall in love” ❤
This is the movie I thought he was going bring up tbh
I love how he can watch himself and be hype like it’s not him❤️😭
He seem like such a humble and down to earth guy.. He's also very versatile as an actor and I loved him in the Inkwell and Why do fools fall in love and he deserve his flowers while he's still here. Love Jones and Menace To Society are great movies too but I wanted to highlight his other movies.I just really like his overall style and personality.. Where can I find a man like him?? lol
It’s good to see how people can take great care of themselves..he looks damn near exactly the same 30 yrs ago and still got a smile on his face..great guy
Larenz Tate is such a handsome gentleman. And Love Jones is my all time favorite romance movie! Black love, deep love, connected love, real love going through real situations, that end in fighting to keep something so bomb! I'm all in!
I love all these movies and they're very iconic.
Love Jones is my favorite movie of all times to this day! He was perfect in that role!!
Just love him! In everything he does, he sells it! Been a fan since South Central.
Yes 🙌🏾
*Dead Presidents* top 5 movie for me. It captured my experience and so many other young black men who wrestled with the rules of this system. He “fought for his country” he tried to make a “honest living.” Ended up breaking the rules with no happy ending.
Ohhhhhhh ma goodness. This man is GOR-GEOUS. He does not age. He looks wonderful. Excellent actor as well. What a Blessing he is to the culture.
Fine self!!! Whew! Love all his work 👏🏽👏🏽
Larenz Tate did and, still doing his thing! Salute 🤜🏾🤛🏾
I love Larenz in Power. I have always enjoyed watching Larenz on the big screen. Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Inkwell, etc. etc.
I was smiling right along with him! Dead Presidents is my favorite! 🥰✨ I love that movie! 💜👍
Legend. And he does not age...🤯
I loved him since South Central!!! He is so talented and underrated ❤
Makes no sense how fine this man still is!
Yes, I have always loved Larenze Tate; so good. ❤
Larenz is literally GOLD! 😩 I’m smiling like a cheshire cat!
I’m surprised he didn’t say Why Do Fools Fall in Love or Inkwell because those were the movies I fell in love with him first 😅😂
Truee
Dead Presidents was a movie I watched as a child because my Papa liked it. When I watched it as an adult I realized how sad it was and how those soldiers got no support when they came home
So cool to see him watching himself. All the emotions and thrills I felt the first time watching these movies he emoted.
Dead Presidents and The Inkwell are my favorites. Tate is my favorite character on Power. I'm not happy they decided not to pursue a spin-off. I hope they don't end his character.
Yeah, they never said anything about that and why they didn't go through with his spin-off, but Whatever.
He is STILL gorgeous ❤ He has not aged!
This man is a legend!
Love him in south central tv show ❤
Larenz Tate deserves his flowers!💐 💯Love Jones is one of my Favorites still today.
Dead Presidents is one of my favorite movies of all time such a classic 💯
Tate is one of the most underrated actors in the business. One of my favorites. Also it's sad that we don't get these kind of Black American movie classics anymore.
Thanks Cocoa Butter to giving the "appropriate contributions-shine" to our people that similar channels like GQ and Cosmo do not, when they highlight their mostly "euro-centrist" 'most iconic roles' actor videos.....etc.
He’s never gets old ⭐️
My favorite movie by Larenz is Why Do Fools Fall In Love. The scene where throws Vivica’s dog out the window; shook!!!
I love watching him watch himself 😂🥰❤️ he be so into it like he never seen the clips before or like he is literally not the actor he watching 😂
Whenever he see footage of Love Jones in these interviews bro go to a happy place in his mind about Nia!....I think he liked her for real!😂
This man is and always has been so FINE! And his acting, especially when he playing evil/angry, chefs kiss!
He never ages!! Them family genes are off the chain🎉🎉
He has not aged at all! ❤
Love Jones, an all time classic 🤎
Love Jones has got to be one of my top 3 favourite love movies.
Awww he looked so innocent 😂❤
My Monday is MADE 😍
I loved everything about this. It's always good vibes when Lorenz is around. It's been great to see his much deserved success through the years. Thanks for this look back Cocoa Butter! ALSO, that Chris Tucker impression was A-1!!! 😂
Him admiring these scenes is so funny to me 😂😂 “uhoh! Whoo!”🤣
*’The Inkwell’* and *’Why Do Fools Fall in Love’* should *NOT BE MISSING* here smhlmao epically iconic roles! 🗣️💯
Y’all got Larenz Tate?! LARENZ???? Let’s go Cocoa Buttttttttttter 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
Loved this! One of my favorite actors.
I love this man so much! Any movie or show he’s in, I will watch 😊
Dead Presidents is one of my favorite movies.
Absolutely Love Him ❤
You GO Lorenz!! Such a great actor and down to earth from what I remember!!
One of my fave actors.
My favorite actor of all time that man could act his ass off ❤️🔥
I be having to remember these actors are totally different people off set.
Loved how he watched the clips-especially Menace to Society where they were in the store and he blushed a little or got somewhat uncomfortable with watching it. Love him! The master! ❤
Love Jones is everything ❤️
Larenz has always been that dude!! 👏🏾🙌🏾🥰
Larenz Tate is iconic. He got classics.
He was also good in Biker Boyz
