Well to start I have to say that I am a devoted Toni Braxton fan. I would not have taken time to see this film if not for her. Nevertheless, I did find the story line old and worn out and the acting in it weak but the music was good it was the redeeming quality of the film. I myself am not a fan for rap music nor am a hater of it. My take on the film is that it was an ok film but nothing really good. Just wish that Toni Braxton had done some of the singing in the film, but she did not. She did not even do any of music for the credits, very disappointing. They, the filmmakers, missed something there to have one of the greatest voices of the time in the film and not have her sing one song. Dumb, very dumb. Even if they had to pay her more it would have been worth it.
December 15, 2007I hate mainstream Hip-Hop and this is clearly that type of genre ,but this movie was good what a big surprise it was.

Firstly, a friend phoned me five times begging me to see this movie and I was not disappointed.
I am going to paraphrase Durrel from Tx. One of the most underrated films and I encourage all "Hip-Hop Heads to see. Although, this film didn't break any
genres but I thought the film's ending was excellent with Jaxx's lyrics ending the film. "I got pay for all the wrong the I have done.

This film is very much underatted for an indie film and as a film period. It is very powerful and emtotional. Merlin Santana was a great actor and it seems a human being as well. He lights up the screen with his looks and charisma as the egotistical Mayhem, and The lead actor in the film gives a good performance as well, If you are a hip hop fan you need this one in the collection.

THIS WAS A MADE FOR TV MOVIE THAT AIRED IN 2002 ON VH1. WHEN A FEUD BETWEEN TWO RAPPERS START, A DEADLY EAST COAST VS. WEST COAST STREET WAR ALSO STARTS. YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS IS A FICTIONAL VERSION OF THE INFAMOUS BIGGIE VS. TUPAC FEUD. RASHAAN NALL AND MERLIN SANTANA DO GREAT AS THE FEUDING RAPPERS. ANY FAN OF RAP MUSIC SHOULD CHECK OUT THIS MOVIE. TONI BRAXTON AND SHARISSA ALSO HAVE ROLES IN THIS MOVIE.
