‘New Jack City’ Cast Says Play Highlights Street Violence, but Responsibly

Naughty By Nature’s Treach and his “New Jack City” period play costars are effectively aware of the real life violence in reggae right now, and hope their generation of often the classic ’90s film can scare the genre straight.

We became Treach, Gary Dourdan, Flex Alexander and even the only Big Daddy Kane Friday inside Burbank, CA — could possibly be putting on the participate in all weekend at M.A. Orpheum Theater, and in addition they claim the production doesn’t disassociate with violence … even with often the recent string of sad headlines about slain rappers.

Treach says ‘New Jack’ pointed out often the brutality of the ’80s crack epidemic, and even delivered the message “that wasn’t the road to consider.” He’s hoping all of us generation will take that will lesson and apply that into the rap game.

Flex says most of often the cast has known each and every other for several years, therefore it is been easy to be able to mesh before their are living performances — there’s simply no “take 2” in movie theater — and they almost all credit director Je’Caryous Johnson getting them game-ready months ahead of time.

We recently got BDK 1-on-1 back in NYC, wherever he told us acquiring Allen Payne — who’s reprising his role as Gee Money from the film — was the cheat signal often the rest of the cast needed to be in line with the unique.

Speaking associated with those NYC shows, Gary tells us another PLUS star, Ice-T, got here to be able to put his stamp associated with approval.

For fans with the movie … Treach plays Wesley Snipes‘ lead character Nino Brown, Gary steps into Ice’s purpose of Scotty and Flex is Chris Rock‘s Pookie.
