THE KEEP IT OLDSKOOL "IN THE CUT" MOVIE OF THE DAY
"Trouble Man" is another movie not many have seen. The movie released in 1972 starred Robert Hooks as privtate eye/OG that many in the rough neigborhood he calls home can ask help from when they can't count on anyone else.The movie was in the "Shaft" mode in the sense that here was a brother that wasn't going take it from "the man" or anyone else that got in his way. The movie also starred Paula Kelly, Paul Winfield and even Ralph Waite from the "Waltons". With lines in the movie like "This is T Chalky is dead now I'm coming to get your honky ass" you know what your in for, a good old fashion "puttin foot to ass flick".
No mention of this movie can go without speaking on it soundtrack. Marvin Gaye fresh of his 1 million dollar contract with Motown,decided to try his hand at creating a soundtrack. From the Dj Jazzy Jeff sampled "T Plays it cool" to the title track "Trouble Man" the soundtrack was a mellow companion piece to the movie.
