Rap Movie Reviews

Year of Release: 2002 Production Companies: Roc-a-Fella Films/Universal Pictures When looking at some stars of today, or of any era, sometimes it’s funny to seek some of that star’s earlier work to see how far that person has gone in his/her career. In this case, when seeing Kevin Hart, the man has come a long […]

Year of Release: 2007 Production Companies: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment For my review of the first film, click here. I often wonder how sequels get green-lighted, even though there is little demand for them or how something can get warranted. I have touched on this in my reviews of The Man With The Iron Fists […]

Year of Release: 2019 Production Companies: RLJ Entertainment/Urban Movie Channel/Genius Minds Pictures (Takes deep breath) I am going to do my best here to try to explain and review this movie. I never thought I would say this, but after sitting through this, I actually believe that I would give How High 2 a repeated […]

Year of Release: 2019 Production Companies: Universal 1440 Entertainment/MTV/Smith-Garr Productions For my review on the first film, click here. Like I had noted in my review of The Man with the Iron Fists 2, straight-to-video sequels (or TV, for that matter) are far from a novel concept. What’s funny (as in strange) is that I […]

Year of Release: 1998 Production Companies: LIVE Entertainment/Artisan Entertainment (Later acquired by Lionsgate) I’m back and I will try to update this more and I have also been contemplating starting my movie blog, which I will link to this one at some point. Also, it’s December, so I may post some Christmas-related stuff soon. Like […]

Year of Release: 2002 Production Companies: New Line Cinema/Cube Vision Productions Here I am trying to update this a little more often and because I had just watched this, I thought why not? I am also considering doing separate blogs related to other things, one being movie-related, but this review still pertains to hip-hop, as […]

Year of Release: 2007 Production Companies: Interscope Records/Codeblack Entertainment/Sunset Editorial Sometimes there are moments when you didn’t know the existence of something. I mean I was well aware of some other “rap movies” that I have covered and plan to (Some I have not posted, but will). But it turns out, even some things are […]

Year of Release: 2011 Production Companies: Hannibal Pictures/Cheetah Vision Films You know, I can’t really say that I have seen a lot of films with 50 Cent in them. I don’t have a problem with 50 Cent as a rapper, but as an actor, I have noticed that he had been in a bunch of […]

Year of Release: 2002 Production Companies: New Line Cinema/Cubevision It has been said by many people that when a third film comes in a franchise, more often than not, it’s considered the weakest link. A lot of the time, people are right about it, but then you have ones that are better or as good. […]

Year of Release: 2018 Production Companies: A24/Waypoint Entertainment/Scott Rudin Productions For those who grew up in the 1990’s, it’s weird to look at period pieces or movies and shows from that era and see how things have changed since then, no matter how many people say that things are the same now as they were […]

Year of Release: 2018 Production Companies: Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate Films/Codeblack Films/Snoot Entertainment It can be said that there are times that a certain film that you watch that can make you feel uncomfortable, but it a positive way rather than a negative way. There are plenty of films that can and will do that to the […]

Year of Release: 2018 Production Company: Columbia Pictures/Silver Pictures Remakes are not a new concept in cinema, despite what some people may believe, not to mention that when a remake is being made, most movie fans go up in flames because of it. Of course, with them being all the rage in this day and […]

Year of Release: 2015 Film Studio: Universal Pictures/Arcade Pictures/Strike Entertainment In the past, when I saw that there was a sequel of The Man With The Iron Fists that was made, I was baffled and not baffled at the same time. It wasn’t until recently that I found out how the first film did in […]

Year of Release: 2012 Film Studio: Universal Pictures/Strike Entertainment/Arcade Pictures When listening to a Wu-Tang album, it should be of no secret that RZA is a huge fan of Kung Fu flicks. It’s obvious by hearing some clips of them in some songs, especially in “Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).” Hell, there was a Kung […]

Year of Release: 2017 Production Company: Summit Entertainment/Morgan Creek Productions/Program Pictures/Codeblack Films It must be said: there is no denying that Tupac Shakur has maintained his popularity throughout the years, even more than two decades after his untimely demise. His deep-in-though lyrics really touched the minds and hearts of not just hip-hop fans, but also […]

Year of Release: 2005 Film Studio: Lionsgate Films/Dash Films I never thought that I would say this, but this film is more watchable than its predecessor. There I said it. However, that still doesn’t mean that this film is without problems. Okay, I think I am getting a little ahead of myself here. Let me […]

Year of Release: 2002 Film Studio: Lionsgate Films *Sigh* I know that I haven’t keeping up with this lately. On one hand, I have been contemplating writing about the rest of my Fast & Furious soundtracks. Another part of me wants to write about Death Row albums, particularly post-Tupac death and also when Dre and […]

Year of Release: 2001 Film Studio: Universal Pictures/Jersey Films/Native Pictures When I wrote my review of The Wash, at the end of it I had noted about a much funnier movie that came out a month after that one, theatrically, I mean, I actually meant that it was indeed a funnier movie. The funny thing […]

Year of Release: 2001 Film Studio: Lionsgate Films/Lithium Entertainment Group When I first thought about reviewing “rap movies,” as I like to call them, I had initially thought about mostly doing reviews on these low-budget, straight-to-video releases that had a good amount of rappers in the cast, or at least ones that have a few […]

Year of Release: 2002 Film Studio: Sony Pictures/Screen Gems/Franchise Pictures I have not really been keeping up with this lately, but because I have plans to write about the Murder Inc compilations in February, I figured that this would be a good place to start. It is not just because Ja Rule is in this […]
