Rocky Plus Rap

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2002)

Very good musical drama about urban ghetto life and the integration of Caucatians into the Hiphop culture.Eminem's acting abilities show promise and the over all production quality is average.What makes this one a cult classic though is the authentic flow it manages to maintain thoughout the film.The characters are very real and the issues are just as solid.Those qualities are very important in a Hiphop drama.The battle themes here reminds the movie fan of another Caucatian blue collar champion,ROCKY Balboa of the Boxing world.Great performance by Kim Bassinger as the hero's mom as well.Unprejudiced Hiphop dama fan?Unprejudiced Hiphop wanna know?This movie is for you then.I know Elvis is up there smiling........
