Down with the King

I liked this film, it was different. I've heard a few Freddie Gibbs tracks and into rap but maybe I'll check out some more of his tracks now, he was good at acting. The story follows a rapper who is fed up of the music industry and goes out to live on a farm but his manager keeps hounding him to do music. It spoke to me alot because I feel sometimes people need to just take a break to think and relax without being pressured into anything by others. Solid drama.

It was a bit boring and slow paced, I had to keep skipping. The symbolism at the end was like a good lesson but also kinda confusing, in fact the entire ending was a bit confusing.

I gave the movie 4 stars as it lacked a lot in the content and due to the poor audio or the lack of enunciation by the actors, it was difficult to understand what they were saying and if it was not for the subtitles, I would have been completely lost. The movie also lacked in vocabulary as it seemed the only words used were the N word and the F word.

Big Gibbs fan and I was anticipating this film, but it was completely different than what I expected. It's pretty slow in parts. I think the main issue is the story and the script, because the actors and camera work is on point. Respectable leading debut for Freddie.

Great movie because of his charm and wit. He just has a way about him that makes me laugh and that draws me in. The man can't miss in anything he does. This movie was well shot and very chill. He plays the disillusioned and tired/fed up rapper role quite well. I feel exactly where he was coming from with rap being a violent and undesirable genre to ply your trade in. Pretty good movie with lots of moments that made me laugh, smile, and a few tense moments. This is the intention of a film and all involved did a great job! I hope to see Gangsta Gibbs in more stuff and I hope the soundtrack to this is released soon. The songs Gibbs did in this are so hard! 🔥 🔥 🔥
