i saw this at a screening during the Carolina Film and Video Festival in Greensboro. Not that good. Can't say that I'd really recommend it and would be surprised if it was bought by anybody other than BET or Mtv. Decent directing, but ultimately a tired and weak production. Acting was pretty bad. No actors possessed any musical skill in my opinion and the lyrics were absolutely horrid. I don't like to trash anything with out good reason and if you take my word on anything about how bad this film is, trust me on the lyrics. they're sad. not to mention there's some character in the movie which should not have been given a "rap" line at all... including an old stubborn white guy and a snobbish white girl. The actors playing the rappers couldn't even really pull it off. The actress playing Jewel was the only real upside to the entire project. She was beautiful and had a decent voice, but nothing that could save this project from disaster.
