How would you rank I'm Bout It amongst classic hiphop movies?

(1/4) > >>

TraceOneInfinite:
I think I'm Bout It might be one of the better hiphop movies of all-time.  Just like Wild Style gave us our introduction to hiphop culture in NY thru film, and Boyz in the Hood and Menace to Society spotlighted the gangsta rap culture on the West Coast; I think Master P's I'm Bout It did a fabulous job displaying Down South, New Orleans rap culture.  

The music in the film features No Limit in their prime right as they were beggining to blow up.  And there are a lot of key elements you may have missed that I don't think P gets enough credit for as a film maker.  When his brother dies and they have the big procession of horn players that was quite a remarkable display.  Sure, they borrowed a lot of themes from Scarface but its really a great storyline of rags to riches, character conflict, romance and the best of down south rap in its prime.

Aladin:
Dope Fiend Willy, was funny.

You really think that movie is classic?
Then all the amateur releases of the westcoast mexicans Darkroom familia was also classic?

bouli77:
in my opinion, the only thing classic about this movie is its soundtrack, south/west coast gangsta rap at its finest :

the movie in itself is a watchable rapper's movie ala Baller Blockin' or Thicker than Water. but not a classic, it's note a legitimate motion picture, shouldn't be in the same sentence with Menace 2 Society & Boyz N The Hood. a good movie about Southern Music is Hustle & Flow.

Black Excellence:
the movie was good on some amateur shit but not on the level of boyz n the hood or menace.

Jack Trippa 3z company ho:
It's pretty horrible. In its day when the whole NL thing was poppin, everybody had this shit.

Bout it song>>>>>bout it movie

Very low production value, horrid acting, cliche, etc.

It made me laugh, but for all the wrong reasons.
