Hollywood is no easy town but 15 years later Ice Cube is still relevant as ever. He’s starred countless successful films since Barbershop: 2014’s Ride Along, 2017’s xXx: Return of Xander Cage and of course  he was one of the masterminds behind the Oscar nominated Straight Outta Compton in 2015.

Much has changed with Cube musically and in film since the first Barbershop. At the time, the Compton native's production catalog was rather slim, but now, he's acted in and produced dozens of successful television shows and movies. He's also released a lot more music, including three solo albums and a group effort with Westside Connection.

Barbershop was Cedric's sixth major film and the comedian is still making the world laugh. He hasn't stopped working since and has two films currently in production.

Since Barbershop, Cedric's expanded his endeavors, becoming the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionare in 2013 and playing the main character in a TV Land original series sitcom, The Soul Man.

Barbershop was all about hair! And hair definitely is a big conversation today, especially on social media. Eve, who played Terri, also appeared in Chris Rock doc Good Hair in 2009. Hair and the Black community is a conversation that is always relevant.

In 2002, Michael Ealy was only 29 and Barbershop was his third film. Countless hit films later, he now stars on Being Mary Jane. Gotta love them eyes, too!

Anthony Anderson had been grinding for years but Barbershop was a huge moment for the comedian. Now, he stars on Black-ish and is a Golden Globe and Emmy nominee. Fifteen years after Barbershop, Anthony is a household name.

Barbershop was Tim Story's third film and helped catapult him to huge success. Tim is more relevant now than ever, having directed the Ride Along and Think Like a Man franchises. Ride Along 3 hits theaters in 2018. Tim never stopped winning.

There was a huge debate in the film if a white guy (Troy Garity) should cut Black hair. Without actually saying the term, the character was accused of cultural appropriation. This was before "cultural appropriation" was the topic of a billion think pieces.

When the film was released, Barbershop was immediately slammed for jokes about  Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Al Sharpton and members of Parks' and King's families demanded a public apology for the jokes and wanted MGM to remove the scene from the DVD release. No one apologized and the scene was never deleted.  However, this joke pushed the boundaries of comedy, which is still a conversation today. Check out the clip below:

Barbershop was another step in proving the power of the Black dollar at the box office. Fifteen years later, we have the success of Girls Trip and Get Out, partly because of films like Barbershop in the early 2000s.

Barbershop culture was here before and after this film and thankfully it's not going anywhere. Check out Cedric's epic monologue, explaining the importance of the barbershop:

Fifteen years ago, we were trying to survive the Republican administration under George W. Bush. Now we are trying to survive the Republican administration under the horrors of Donald Trump. Some things never change!
