• Super Fly (1972) Directed by Gordon Parks, Jr., this film had a soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield and is considered to be a classic of the genre. Curiously enough while the movie celebrates drugs and the people dealing them Mayfield’s soundtrack is the exact opposite; a harsh commentary to the way drugs ruins the lives of especially the black man.
• Three the Hard Way (1974), three black men must stop a white supremacist group from imposing genocide against Negroes in three American cities.
• Trick Baby (1973), based on the book of the same name by ex-pimp Iceberg Slim
