Brown Sugar is a 2002 romance film written by Michael Elliott and Rick Famuyiwa and directed by Rick Famuyiwa. This movie stars Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan. This film is the story of a hip-hop record executive and a magazine editor (who have been friends since childhood) becoming more than friends despite the fact that they're both involved in other relationships. The story is based on the song, "I Used to Love H.E.R.," by Common, a story of how a relationship with hip hop connects to a relationship between a man and woman. This title of the film was named after D'Angelo 1995 song of the same name.
