Three The Hard Way

Three brothers. One conspiracy. Zero mercy.

THREE THE HARD WAY

Welcome to the most militant, funk-loaded episode of Black Deth 101 yet.

This time, Nubius Black and Johnny Deth drop the needle on Three The Hard Way — the 1974 blaxploitation nuclear strike starring Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, and Jim Kelly as three unstoppable brothers who uncover a government-backed plot to poison the Black community via the water supply across America.

Yeah… they tried to wipe out the people.So the people sent three legends.

This ain’t just a 1970s Blaxploitation flick — it’s a full-on cinematic warning shot.Secret labs. Nazi doctors hiding in plain sight. Corporate genocide. Underground resistance.And three men moving through it like funk-powered avenging angels.

In this episode we break down:

The real-world 1974 America this movie was born into• Why this film scared studios and thrilled drive-ins• The Tuskegee echoes and real historical parallels• Jim Kelly’s martial-arts fury, Jim Brown’s cold precision, and Fred Williamson’s street-general swagger• The militant fashion, the funk soundtrack, and the radical message hidden inside the grindhouse packaging• Why Three The Hard Way might be the boldest political statement ever smuggled into a blaxploitation release

This is the episode where the gloves come off.The bass hits harder.And the message gets dangerous.

🎬 Press play.Because this isn’t just film history —It’s Black cinema loading the clip and telling you the truth.

If you want, next I can write:• the YouTube description version• the Spotify short blurb• the opening show notes• or the social captions (funky, militant, poetic, or straight-up hype)
