Looking at the plot and the theme of this movie it is very clichéd and nothing much will/should surprise you. A gangster in the drug game (Stick) after finding out his girl is pregnant tries to get out of the game and plans to lead a clean life. Obviously this isn't going to be as simple as it sounds.
What is unique about this movie is that everything is rapped. Every scene is backed by a beat and the actors all have rhyming conversations - It is like a live concept album. Maybe there is/are other films like this but I haven't come across any. Some songs/rhymes are quite nice and others, along with some of the voices of the cast leave a lil' to be desired, but I felt most worked.
Worth checking out if you're a fan of hip hop and are looking for something different.
