~Singleton Keeps it Real Again~

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2005)

I was shocked to see Caucasian elderly's in there & people you never think would be interested. We had to check to see if we were in the right show! & I live in Oakland, Cali. They loved it! & the movie has us rolling! I cried on several scenes being it was so real & I was feeling it all over again. Thanks Singleton for giving the world a better perspective into the struggle & also helping them to realize what some of these rappers go thru when starting from rock bottom. For those of you who never lived an oppressed life only to rise up out, these actors played their roles to the tee & the cast was well chosen, especially the white girl who reminded me of my ex neighbor's lily skinny stable sister whose now a social worker. No doubt the ending will motivate many, mainly our youths in disadvantaged communities. And the music was bumping! Loved it all!
