An All-Star Legacy: Paul Anthony of Full Force and Kid ‘N Play’s Christopher Reid Celebrate ‘House Party’

Two recent interviews bring together legendary voices from hip-hop and R&B to spotlight the lasting impact of the iconic film House Party—Christopher “Kid” Reid of Kid ‘N Play and Paul Anthony from the legendary group Full Force.

On The Breakfast Club, Kid ‘N Play and Full Force broke down the 35th anniversary of House Party, the cult classic that began as a Harvard thesis by director Reggie Hudlin. Originally, the lead roles were considered for DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, but Kid ‘N Play ultimately brought the film’s energy and authenticity that still resonates today. The natural chemistry and improvisation by the cast became a defining feature of the movie’s legacy.

Full Force didn’t just perform—they created characters and scenes that director Hudlin loved so much, he kept them in the final cut. The group also fought hard to keep the film Rated R, believing that rawness was essential to its genuine feel.

In an exclusive interview with WorldWide Entertainment TV Network, Paul Anthony opened up about his legendary career working alongside music icons like James Brown, Earth, Wind & Fire’s Philip Bailey, and Bob Dylan.

Anthony shared stories from producing a full album for James Brown—one of the rare producers to do so. He also talked about his fresh single “Bring It,” a collaboration with Aaron Dalla Villa that’s already turning heads.

What ties these conversations together is the incredible versatility of these artists. Full Force members weren’t just hitmakers—they were natural actors who shined in House Party. Christopher Reid expanded his acting chops in films like Class Act, showing his range beyond music.

House Party’s legacy continues to inspire. Kid Reid even shared a touching moment about a young fan watching the movie with her aunt, proving this classic still bridges generations.

Both interviews capture the spirit of artists who made history and are still shaping the future of entertainment—true legends whose influence only grows stronger with time.
