jfgibson73 Every review of this movie seems like it has to compare this movie to CB4, and it seems like everyone is polarized--they love one and hate the other. For me, this was the one I enjoyed.Another IMDb comment claims that the movie was written by an insider to the culture and lifestyle that the movie portrays. Some viewers might think that it reinforces negative stereotypes, and the characters are a bit over the top. But I thought it also had a gritty, realistic feel that added to my enjoyment.If language bothers you, you should know that every sentence in this movie has the N word in it. But the slang is part of what I liked, in the same way that the dialog in Trainspotting was an exaggerated example of how people talk in Edinburgh.The story is about some over-the-hill rappers who try to make a comeback. They seems to be patterned off of NWA, but in the universe this movie exists in, they acknowledge NWA, so they supposedly came up around the same time. Like I said, their lives are so exaggerated, the movie ends up being campy, but for me, it had just the right tone. Imagine a hardcore rap version of Spinal Tap, which this movies seems to have gotten its plot from (even recreating most of the situations and story arc). This is one that I will watch over again, and I really liked the original songs as well. I'm glad I found this.
nate505 This was the worst movie in the whole wide world. I would rather be in the desert without water than to watch this crap again. I think the acting was terrible, the plot was terrible, and it was just a bad movie all the way around. I think if parents wanted to punish their kids then this is the movie for them. I mean what kind of person could sit there and watch this. Any person that recommended this movie to anyone else has to be mental. I watched CB4 several times and that was a funny movie this one was just down right bad. Now that I've seen this movie I won't never rent or go watch another Damon "Cokes" Daniel movie again. Sorry Damon no offense to you just your Glockumentary movie.
jansmith-4 OMG, this movie is so funny. My brother rented it and we had no idea how funny it was gonna be. Old Gangsters trying to rap is funny enough in real life, but Murder Mike and Du-Rag really show how preposterous it really is. I keep hearing comparisons to CB4, and although there are obvious ones, overall I don't see it, they are two different movies. Chris Rock was not meant to be believable in his role in CB4, but in Gangsta Rap, these guys are believable. Ironically enough, Murder Mike is played by 6'5 Slink Capone who is by trade......a Gangster Rapper! He does a good job, I wouldn't even have known that he was a rapper turned actor if my brother hadn't told me. Me and my girlfriends have watched the movie 3 or 4 times, and we just bought the Gangsta Rap album on iTunes.
ikabus or fear of a black hat... whatever. I am afraid 10 lines of text about this movie would be impossible. maybe a haiku...I only wish I. could erase the memory. of watching this poop.The jokes are recycled and hardly still relevant as gangsta rap has faded into mediocre messages of thug mentalities and misguided angst. Maybe if this film was a true parody its smacking of this same un-originality would fit but that seems to be only a happy coincidence. Even Dian Bachar aka "little bitch" cant make this funny... Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary is to CB4 as Bad Boy is to NWA, what ice cube circa '91 is to ice cube circa '01. Even Malibu's Most Wanted is better than this... avoid.
