Summary: Rappin! This Movie Had To Happen....
Review: ...so says the ads for this laughable film known for Mario Van Peeble's weak rappin' abilities, thin plot and some of the cheesiest moments in a music-oriented movie. And when grandma starts to rap, it's time to run for cover! Only saving grace in this film is a performance by the Force M.D.s, the pioneers of hip-hop soul.

Summary: The Greatest Fake Rap Movie Ever
Review: Oh baby, this is the one. An incredibly phony rags to riches rap movie complete with all jewish screenwriters and director, Mario Van Peebles sportin' a Jheri curl, old white people getting down....man this movie is a CLASSIC!!! This is the Star Wars of cheesy mid-80s rap movies. I have seen this movie over 100 times and I pick up something new every time I watch it. I can't recommend this movie enough, but if you ain't down with Cheese, don't bother. This is not a movie for serious people.

Summary: JUST STICK WITH KRUSH GROOVE ~~~~
Review: There area few pioneers in the movie - thats cool. I hate to say it, this movie was stupid, even back when it was produced. Just watch Krush Groove, its way more entertaining.

Summary: Rappin'!
Review: This is the perfect movie to watch with some friends, MST3K-style. I have never seen such shlock in my life. It is awful beyond compare. "It's so bad, it's good" was never more fitting. The music is terrible. The acting is horrendous. You do get to see a young Ice-T at a rap audition doing what sounds like a demo version of "Cop Killer." And listen to our hero rapping about colors for a group of kids ("Green is the color of the rasta's stash!"). Sealab 2021 fans should be happy to see that Harry Goz (Capt. Murphy) makes one of his few film appearances here as an evil real estate tycoon, or something. And for comedy value, you cannot beat the evil gang leader who spouts every known cliche arch-nemesis line known to man.

Jowl Silberg, you are the man.

Summary: JUST STICK WITH KRUSH GROOVE ~~~~
Review: This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Even though the performances are not fabulous the film is memorable for it's cast. Even Ice-T has one of his pre-gangsta performances i.e. Breakin' & Breakin'2. This is a must have for 80s hip hop fans. Eric LaSalle of E.R. fame even stars in this film alongside Mario Van Peebles. This film is a reminder of how simple life was in the 80s and how easy it was to make films that appeal to a culture.
