Another older movie I should've kept in the memory banks, it was so much better there. Now that I have watched it again I can't believe how wack it was. Kid n' Play cannot act and the plot was lousy. Furthermore, it wasn't a good showcase of the talents of Robin Harris, John Witherspoon, and Martin Lawrence.
The only thing good about the movie was the rap battle between Kid n Play. They weren't the best lyricists, but they did a good job in the battle scene.
1990 was the beginning of the golden era of hip hop and you could see and hear the conversion. Scratching, beatboxing, and gold chains were a thing of the past-- the beats, the chords, and the lyrics were starting to get more sophisticated. The clothes they were wearing in the movie though... those were bufugly back then. Those outfits weren't indicative of the 90's really except maybe the clothes worn by Tisha Campbell and A.J. Johnson. Kid n' Play were hot for a minute and they cashed in on their short lived success. They had a more upbeat party time brand of hip hop which caught on. Kid n' Play, like most artists in the music industry, were better at music than they were at movies.
