Nino Brown is the drug lord played by Wesley Snipes in the 1991 crime film New Jack City, directed by Mario Van Peebles. His courtroom scenes produced some of the most quoted dialogue in nineties Black cinema, including his contemptuous orders for people to sit down. As the film became a cult classic in hip hop culture, those confrontational lines were clipped, remixed and shared across soundboards and social video. Creators still reach for this one because few movie threats sound as coolly dismissive as Snipes in that role.
