Ratings and reviews

This movie is amazing. It's based around the best time in hip hop so it has great music and the characters from the smallest role to the main role felt so normal that you could almost relate to anyone even with well known actors like Josh Peck and Ben Kingsley, it has a great compelling story with comical and dramatic moments but done perfectly I'm surprised it's not considered a classic

I feel like when I ask people if they have seen this they say no....Which is a shame because of how good it is.

I had a friend who had this movie, and I loved it. So glad I have it on my play account!
