All I knew before reading up today was it featured Method Man and somehow revolved around hip-hop. But basically it's about a kid who sells drugs and trades therapy for drugs and then forms some kind of kinship with his therapist. And it stars that kid from Drake and Josh

I think the soundtrack is pretty predictable for a "hip-hop" themed movie around this era though:

yeah, i know its not going to be great, but im drawn in by it's setting.

 

...much like i am with movies and tv shows about high school/college kids. but this is destined to become a saturday afternoon special on the CW like Fresh and Zebrahead, which were both very decent movies (Fresh was great, actually, but thats a post of its own).

Finally saw this the other night. I enjoyed it.

It's made  me really retrospective of that transitional time in hip hop history.

Mid 90's arrival of Biggie, and the beggining of the get money, be shiny era.

 

Also Method Man was fuckin wack in that movie... that was the worst sounding Jamaican accent I've ever heard.
