The 1997 film
Loves Jones is one of the most beloved films in the history of Black cinema. The romantic drama was set in Chicago and followed the story of Nina Mosley (Nia Long) and Darius Lovehall (Larenz Tate). The cult classic captured a generation of twenty-something African-Americans all wanting a romance like Nina and Darius. Now we are finding out the chemistry between Larenz Tate and Nia Long was sizzling off-camera.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tate revealed the energy between the two began at the screen test, Immediately, we just kind of had a nice little spark and a connection and it just felt natural. I didn t feel any pressure going into the room [for the screen test], I don t think she felt any pressure. Once we began to do our scene, I think they saw immediately that we were the right pair.
The Best Man . Near the end, Sean got to relive what
Taye Diggs character Harper experienced at his best friend Lance Sullivan s bachelor party. Sean s collaborator for the song,
Ty Dolla $ign, popped into the scenes one in a while to tie up the love stories together.
On the day of the music video release, Sean shared on Instagram a clip from the promo. Along with it, he wrote, Know it s a lot on ya mind, but I need ya focus now! Body Language music video out now @Jheneaiko n @tydollasign #Detroit2 Run this up, this one of them ones. He also put out a number of stills with a caption that read, Big homage paying to a few of my favorite flicks growin up.
Three generations of rappers Nas, Big Sean and Don Toliver band together on the sparkling synth and hi-hat-driven standout from Nas’
King’s Disease album. They teach a crucial lesson to any woman who tries to replace them, but the MCs ultimately learn how much they’d feel incomplete without the Nina Mosely to their Darius Lovehall. -

19. Mulatto feat. Gucci Mane, Muwop
In 2019, Mulatto graduated to stardom when she entered the chat with her titillating single Bitch From Da Souf. The following year, she became a rap dynamo when she partnered up with the Godfather of ATL, Gucci Mane, for Muwop. Reimagining Gucci s 2006 hit Freaky Gurl, Big Latto is a drama-setter who passes the freak-a-leek test with flying colors. Her raunchiness not only receives a high-five from Guwop, but solidifies her place as one of hip-hop s rising prospects of 2020. -
