Zebrahead is a 1992 drama film, directed by Anthony Drazan and starring Michael Rapaport (in his first film role) and N'Bushe Wright. Set in Detroit, Michigan, the film is about an interracial romance between a white man and a black woman and the resulting tensions among the characters. The film also stars Kevin Corrigan, Ray Sharkey, Lois Bendler.
Spike Lee's drama Jungle Fever was released in 1991, and Zebrahead was released the following year. As both films deal with interracial romance, Zebrahead was seen as an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Lee's film. It was overlooked as a result.
This film was released as "The Colour of Love" in the United Kingdom.
Zebrahead has an overall approval rating of 71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A soundtrack containing hip hop and R&B music was released on October 13, 1992 through Ruffhouse Records. It is best known for containing Nas' first single "Halftime".
Detroit rap artist "Frizzo", referenced the opening scene of Zebrahead in his music video for the song, "They Ain't Know" in which he is seen lighting the grass on fire in the same location that the film used.

Push on with all my might
Got to find a way to get away today
Because I am the man

I am the man

Who's the man
Try to front like you want to try and understand
But you don't know man
Through the times that we shared
I know that you care
And I know you
And I'll go where you want to go cause I feel this way
And I care what you got to say cause I feel this way
So I stepped up and I said I just don't understand
He said just come and check it out man
I'm up and I feel fine
I won't drop till I get mine
I got to find a way to get away today

Hip hop nation, vibe affiliation
All that I need is mind emancipation
Got to find a way to get away
Got to find something to make me want to stay
Cause all that I see is jaded
Now I can't even see straight cause I'm faded
Stressed cause of strain and you know that I'm leaving today
