Classic slapstick! Hoping it gets a streaming release so I can recommend it.
Affion is a vet in the comedy game and it's always nice to see an OG get to show their work in some form of art be it a special or a movie. If you have ever seen any of his impressions or social media skits, this movie compiles all of the above into a slapstick movie with decent writing. I don't think you should expect an Oscar level performance or every joke to hit, this is more a fun movie and it excels at not being boring.
Hope to see more of this kind of movie in future, its nice to see a non Oscar bait indie movie for a change.

He brilliantly critiqued contemporary hip hop through a historical satire that was accessible to everyone. It was a great movie with exceptional performances! Additionally, he provided insightful revelations and valuable insights into the inner workings of corporate hip hop deviations. These insights shed light on the complexities and manipulations within the industry, offering a deeper understanding of the forces shaping modern hip hop. The film balanced entertainment with thought-provoking commentary, making it both engaging and enlightening. Overall, it was an exceptional and educational experience...with a lot of laughter!!!
I've heard that Affron Crocket blew up because of an impersonation of Russell Simmons he did on YouTube, but I think this was the first time I got the full blast of it. It's a good Russel Simmons or Rascoe Simmons if you will. A Hip-hop Story is one reflection of a Hip-hop Head's observation of what has happened in the last 50 years, the reflection was so good that it made us wish that the movie was not telling the story in parody. I'm slightly skeptical about the film's opinion on modern-day hip-hop. I ironically agree with it but I'm not in touch enough to say it's accurate (I would say the movie would say my statement makes them right).
It was a cheap movie that could not afford to make the 1980s look like the 1980s, but luckily it was funny. Affrion Crocket knows his hip-hop and knows how to poke fun at it with hilarious results.
For what it was it was fun.
