Kid N’ Play Celebrate 20 Years Of House Party
As part of the Tribeca Film Festival kick off this past Monday, Kid N’ Play celebrated the 20 year anniversary of their movie, House Party. Funny how time flies. The pair reunited in February on The Mo’Nique Show and last September, DJ Jazzy Jeff revealed that he and Will Smith turned down the starring roles. Well Blackvoices caught up with the duo and had them speak on their cult classic.
Christopher “Play” Martin: You know, the great thing about it, is that it doesn’t feel like 20 years. It’s amazing, and the good thing about it is not to take yourself seriously, which I can say I wasn’t perfect with. I got a chance to rest and look back and see the groundwork that me and Kid laid out. When I look back at the music and comic book that Marvel put out, we accomplished a lot of good work.
Christopher “Kid” Reid: It was great, awesome and very humbling. It was a collaborative project, and I had the opportunity to work with some great people who made me and Play look good. People think that this makes you feel confident, but it’s totally the opposite. I feel blessed and humbled by what people think of our work.
I WAS SMILING JUST READING THIS POST…
I WAS A KID WHEN ORIGINAL HOUSE PARTY CAME ON THE SCREEN…I’M SOOOO TELLING MY AGE!! LOL
MAN, I LOVE HIP HOP….SHE KINDA LOOKING LIKE KAT STACKS RIGHT NOW, BUT I LOVE HER ALL THE SAME
YEAH…POST LIKE THIS….I STILL YOU HIP HOP…ALWAYS WILL 🙂
yo, that was dope… wish i could’ve been there to see such a vibe as seeing the two come together after all these years! since the passing of some of our legends in music and hip-hop we need to see our predessors live and well to give them our roses while they can still smell it….
i wanna see another movie from these two…. HOUSE PARTY, HOUSE PARTY
“the roof, the roof… the roof is on fire! we don’t need no water let the mutha F*cker burn- burn mutha F*cker- burn
Man, the memories, lol. House Party was the s***. Martin, Tisha Campbell, Chill Mitchell. Man, that was an awesome movie.
@ darkaqua..
i was smiling too! lol.
i love these guys.
they were a huge part of my child hood.
they were so cool!
I still love watchin the house party movies. The first one was the best for sure. RIP Robin Harris…
Can still put any of those HouseParty Joints on and watch, Shit was classic, in a classic hip hop era!
The soundtrack was dope. Flava flav-i cant do nothing 4 u man i used to jam that shit. The movies were dope. Whats that smell? I smell… i smell PUSSY
And ppl wonder where the Soulja Boy’s and New Boyz and The Van and Chicken Noodle Soup and all that shit comes from, comes from right here, so think about that next time u hear about a new dance, do ur HW
hahah I was a kid when the 1st House Party came out also, my cousin actually had to take me because I wasn’t old enough to go see it without an adult haha…it sucks because Kid n Play, Heavy D, & others that made “feel good” hip hop back then don’t get the credit they should, when they wernt selling out, they just made hiphop music there way. Either way, Kid & Play and House Party are timeless….and oh yeah….till this day….i still say KID won that battle! ha!
