^it's describing multiple movies in a satirical fashion. Movies that defined what was considered "real" lol that's a contradiction in itself, props to Lu
The movies are the focal point of the whole song. The entire meaning is based on the listener's degree of understanding of these films... so how can you comprehend how ridiculously dope this song is... without knowing the analogies that are being made xD wth

No it's pretty straight forward. It's a social commentary on a certain generation. Mostly 90's babies and young adults who were born in the 80's but grew up in the 90's. The crack baby generation.
this was so fkn dope!!!! one of my favourite songs off the mixtape cos i rewatched a lot of these movies this year and it was all fresh in my mind. props to whoever made it.
For the people asking "what movie is this from" really says something about the people who come to this site. How dont you know that? Are you serious... Soak in the message or just go get a bieber Tshirt.
touche. but im 22 i thought it was just a given. u should check them out tho bro. good messages. start with boyz n the hood, juice, menace to society, n new jack city.this generation needs movies like that
^I'm almost done with dead presidents and boyz in the hood is next on my list. I'm definitely going to look out for the positive messages in these films. Thanks for the recommendations! I'm not a bro tho lol.

It's not dates, but rather Dayton's. It's a brand of wheel that was popular during the 80's and 90's in the lowrider community.
About the song and video though, first time I heard the song after dl, I noticed Lu mentions Doughboy, Ricky, and Cube. I was like wait a min, he's talking about Boyz N' The Hood. I played it back again and realized it wasn't just that movie but others.
"These are just a illustration Of a few scenes that helped raise a generation"
