Not a brilliant film, obviously not made with the biggest budget, but it may interest some hip hop fans. The story arc borrows a lot from beefs in hip hop such as Game vs 50, and Pac vs Biggie before that. It also heavily uses the idea that in hip hop rappers act hard and make up false pasts to build a gangster street reputation, and also that record companies are evil. Problems with this as mentioned is that it isn't expensively made with the concert scenes, photoshopped billboard and other things obviously showing this. The acting also leaves some to be desired, and when the actors are in concert it's way way too obvious they are lip-syncing, particularly with Nemesis. The sound seems to have just been put over the top in editing, not uncommon maybe, but here you can easily tell. There is also a funny goof where one of the guys has his shirt on back-to-front - Or maybe that's how they do it in tha hood. Worth checking out though if you want to view some past beefing issues in hip hop in a visual format.
