Above The Rim (1994)

This hood classic stars Duane Martin, Tupac Shakur, Leon, and Marlon Wayans. Kyle Lee Watson (Duane Martin) is a promising basketball talent that is caught between his coach and local street thug Birdie (Tupac Shakur). This is 90’s New York film at it’s finest, not to mention the soundtrack was BANGIN’!
