The most exciting thing is that old souls meet trendy Hiphop!

I believe that everyone who loves black music, especially Sao Ling and hiphop, two black pop music in different periods, will feel a sense of intimacy when they see this film.

When the two stood on the stage again after the split and closed, the familiar bassline and drums came to mind, followed by the brass, along with the most classic old-fashioned dance moves of the two, tears came out. I have seen the live performances of those funk spirit bands. I didn't understand at first that these dance moves looked so old-fashioned and clumsy compared to the ones after MJ. And those members are like this old pair of treasures, either old-fashioned or bearing the belly of a general. But they are so devoted and serious in every action, despite the sweat pouring down, stepping on the rhythm and being meticulous. Now I know, those songs have to be danced like this!

There is no real deal combination in history, but it is too representative. A series of processes from formation, dismantling and comeback, almost in line with the development history of all black music groups you know. There's even a picture of how they're fighting hip hop singers who shamelessly sample their bass lines and lyrics.

As for acting, although Bernie Mac is an established comedian, I can only say that as an actor, Samuel Jackson is more interesting. Bernie's performance has no layers, it seems that it is only for Bo Jun's smile. However, there are still a lot of sparks in the two people's rivalry.

In the end, listening to the original soundtrack is not as powerful as watching a movie. Loved the boogie ain't nothing. The movie is very lively!

    All I can say is that I don't understand blues, so I didn't watch this movie and thought it was good. The song is nice. Another American comedy is like that.
