Okay, this isn't something I expected this evening 03 screenings going on tonight. I got myself out the crib on "Monday Night Raw" monday.
Anyone who knows me, know's that its impossible to do. I only participated in tonight's affairs only because it have been sometime since I've been to a movie screening. I can not remember the last movie screening I have attended, not just that I can not even remember the last time I came out here to The Deuces for some straight pleasure, no B.I.
I'm expecting to see a film directed by, Joseph Kahn under Shady Films titled "Bodied". The trailer of the film was very interesting that's what encouraged my decision to attend tonight. Its basically a film reminiscent of the classic, 8 Mile which starred Eminem. If you want after seeing the film. You can refer, "Bodied" as 8 Mile Part 02.
The basis of the film is to discuss the history of battle rapping but not so much just the history. It also is set to explain the cause and the effects to why people feel the need to use outlandish insults along with vulgarity in their bars.
The story is about a young college mind by the name of Adam Merkim. A goofy whiteboy brainiac from the looks of him you would probably think, "What this cracker, know about hip hop?" Which is true, he's nothing more than just a huge fan of battle raps.
Adam, needed to work on some type of a thesis and he happen to choose, Battle Rap as his subject. So, Adam Merkim he becomes part of this world. A culture that he doesn't quite understand. Adam's girlfriend, Maya isn't a big fan of what he's doing, she's just being supportive. Even though she thinks everything that the emcees say are racist, homophobic and misogynistic. She was willing to play along until, Adam's behavior began to change.
This right here, is why I think "Bodied" is a good movie not just because of all the emcees throwing harsh and personal darts at one another. What makes this a good movie, you have a young boy who's practically a man falling in love with a hip hop culture as if he's 10 years old and because of all this fascination, he completely forgot the man who he really is, neglecting his girlfriend and other responsibilities. Which lead to his removal from the university, he was attending.
I'm not saying, hip hop done it. Actually, Maya did it. If it wasn't for his ex, pulling that stunt on Adam by using him for her thesis. I don't think, Adam would have ever came to a realization.
In some ways, Adam's character is in comparison to the character of 8 miles' Rabbit. You have two white boys with the love of hip hop battling, so desperately in their lives to the point where it almost wrecked their current lives.
I would like to thank the director, Joseph Kahn for this film and to the creative staff for coming up with these odd character rapper names. Behn Grym, Xstract, Megatron, Big Zee, Billy Pistolz, Divine Wright, Prospek, Racist, Comedian, Che Corleone, Groom, MC Goggles, 40 Mag, Bluntz and my favorite the porn star emcee, Bella Backwoods, lol 👍 Seriously, though my favorite emcee out of all these emcees were Megatron and Behn Grym. Megatron that's a sick motherfucker. How you make another emcee cry then have the nerve to crush his glasses, lol. Poor, MC Goggles. Imagine some shit like this a few years back going down at EOW, lol.
You know the fucked up part I didn't even know this was a Shady production film. A nigga just wanted to get out his crib. I would of came out here for that JLo screening if I had a complimentary ticket, lol. I just want to thank y'all for the invite, one love Dj Handspin Dinero 💯
