Of course it isn't ABOUT top 5 rapper lists, explicitly, or solely. And, I saw all those other themes, though as someone with 8 years sober, the movie only does a decent job depicting alcoholism, mainly due to problems with tone, and moments where it felt unsure about what it was saying, or wanted the audience to feel. Without being condescending, I am concerned you would interpret my post that way, this is a semi autobiographical satire, but this is a hip hop movie at it's heart The fukking title…the excel producers, From the soundtrack, to the jokes, the cameos, everything…..If you aren't a rap fan, like most of us are on here, who grew up on hip hop and top 5 lists, you will not appreciate this movie, maybe 30 something white people who have heard DMX 'Party Up' in the club who like a standup or two of Rock's can enjoy it on it's other merits, but it's not FOR them. It's for us.
