Producers of this underground DVD say they intend to shed some light on the Los Angeles rap scene while also poking a little edgy, street-smart fun at the macho clichés of hip-hop culture. In a freewheeling fictional tale that features appearances by L.A. rappers KRS-One, 2Mex, Rifle Man, Awol-One, Riddlore and many more, the movie follows two aspiring young rappers as they struggle to break in to the cutthroat music business. Problem is, Lil Young, a.k.a. The Prophet to make Prophet, and Guardlyc, the human guitar beatbox, are decidedly short on real talent. Nevertheless, Lil Young s concerned stage father hires a foreign production company to follow the rappers around and document the duo s rocky rise to fame. And, say producers in the fashion of Spinal Tap, Borat and The Office, comes a film where comedy is based on the truth. --Dennis King - Projections
