Review of Rappin' (1985) by Juan C — 05 Nov 2010
Ultimate. John Hood the rapper! Akin to Road House in so many ways.
You can't go wrong when a film combines the hood, rapping zeal and dubious dance offs. The Man makes an appearance and Ice T is even on the cast. It is so joyous and full of zingers. "I've already got a record" our favourite Hood say when questioned of his musical prowess.
These guys rap about anything. From a love of food to colours in general. It all ends up in a committee meeting where John makes his case in rap and even the Councillor cannot contain his love of song. The credits also finalise the notion that white people cannot rap in any way.
A rap was organised after this was shown at the 24 Hour Movie Marathon. It added to the great event.
