Hollywood Shuffle (1987)
An actor limited to stereotypical roles because of his ethnicity, dreams of making it big as a highly respected performer. As he makes his rounds, the film takes a satiric look at African American actors in Hollywood.

-------------------

This is not really a gang movie (although it speaks on it), more like a hood movie but I found it real good with a real good subject. A subject even more alive today with all the BS that's in the rap industry and in the movies. I was just zapping and fell on this movie late at night, real honest and funny too. I suggest everybody to check it out. It's almost feels as if Ice Cube took some lessons from this movie before making his Friday or Barbershop.
