HipHopBattle.com: Hip Hop 4 Life

This movie barely has a plot, and is done solely to get attention for the (real) battle-rappers' involved in this' website.

The lead guy does have a bit of charisma and he does make this somewhat watchable AT TIMES, however after that ending which literally turns this movie into a advert with literally a message from the love-interest of the lead telling the viewers to log on to their website...

Like in the actual movie, not in the credits, not after the story of the movie is wrapped up but as a part of a final introspective look of what the character have been through throughout the movie she says something like "and I couldn't have done it without my friends on **********.com"

I'm not gonna write the name of the site and give them even more advertisement, however it actually shows up as a subtitle here on IMDb so I guess it's not hard to figure out, the DVD I bought was simply called HIP HOP 4 LIFE though.

And unlike for instance 8 MILE where the battlers seemed to be doing their best, it's obvious that they are pretending to be worse than they are at times in order for our main guy to be able to out-battle them, so even the battles are barely worth your time.

As far as the plot goes yeah there is really not much to talk about there it's random everyday scenes of the main guy and his friends in between battles and the dialogue is for the more part pretty damn bad.

I was going to say that the budget of the movie was probably just a couple thousands, and low and behold IMDb states it at 12.000 dollars and that's probably mostly gone to payments for locking down locations to film in, film equipment rentals and transportation plus VHS tapes to film it on, I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was filmed on VHS cause it doesn't look good at all.
