50 cent has to be recognized for pursuing profitable business ventures. He also has to be recognized for taking advantage of ignorant inner-city stereotypes. Most Black Americans in the inner-cities are really dying, all the while they contribute to 50 cent's... Full review

Don't hate 50 or game just because you have a difference of opinion, respect them for their effort and unite your people,the government feeds off of minority-in-house confrontation(black vs. black, brown vs. brown).
Im bout sure they know that their music aint real, true hip hop from the early dayz would laugh with this commercial shit.

That particular story line seems a little out of sorts with the rest of the movie, which is considerably more lighthearted.
Still, the movie does have its appeal, much of which has to do with the fresh-faced cast.
