In Ice Cube's directorial debut, LisaRaye plays Diana "Diamond" Armstrong, a stripper who's working her way through college (an all too familiar story). The cult classic film gave an unflinchingly real look into the lives of strippers at the titular seedy club. When Diamond begins her job she is a novice and it shows. However, it doesn't stay that way for too long. Diana quickly becomes a seasoned and superior performer, best demonstrated when she grinds away to R Kellys Seems Like Youre Ready, causing the club DJ (Jamie Foxx) to drop all of his records. For those of you who are interested; LisaRaye went back to familiar territory with the 2013 film Lapdance, a movie which took a lot of its cues from The Players Club. Though, it isn't nearly as effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPK1nNiTnas
