HipHop-version of Scarface, 27 March 2009
Author: Everyday-Struggler from E-Town

I quite like this movie, it has that old gangster-feel to it and it does have some nice voice-over monologues from Beanie Sigel.

It's also filmed in a professional way unlike a lot of other HipHop-movies out there.

NO, there aren't any good-guys in the movie and YES, the portrayal of the women are a bit sexist but overall it's a cool movie.

It has got a good flow and the music helps out a lot.

The acting might not be great but I do enjoy BEANIE SIGEL's performance, he's a sneaky guy and you never know what he's gonna do next.

Although MEMPHIS BLEEK character was very ill-written shooting at everything that moves basically, he did bring a lot of humor to the movie occasionally on purpose.

My favorite though was JAY-Z whom felt like a mix between FORREST GUMP and TONY SOPRANO, he's just wonderful in this movie reminded me of MOS DEF in 16 BLOCKS actually.

Dame Dash was okay I guess, he messed up the sequel though by giving everybody and their momma their own voice-over and kicking off the original State Property-director off the set and giving himself one of the leadroles BUT that's another story.

In this movie thankfully it's all about BEANS.

If you hate rap-music and rappers trying to act then you should stay away, BUT if you like this then this is a pretty good choice.
