Let it shine rapper movie#
This movie gets a 9/10 from me and it was great, but it clearly doesn't have sequel potential, however, these stars could easily go on tour and perform songs from the movie. A teenage rapper (Tyler James Williams) must use his musical talent to battle his nemesis (Brandon Mychal Smith) and win the girl (Coco Jones) of his dreams. It has its flaws, just as every movie does, but those flaws weren't big enough to prevent me from enjoying it, but I don't think it was quite as good as Lemonade Mouth. I expected this movie to be just OK, but it was awesome and really cool, so I give it a 9 out of 10 and it's one of the more mature and less childish and cheesy DCOMs and for the most part it didn't feel like a Disney channel movie at all. The soundtrack was incredible and the songwriters were really good, my personal favorite songs were "Don't Run Away", "Guardian Angel" and "Moment of Truth". Also Kris and Cyrus' fight I thought would've ruined their friendship for good, but I'm glad it didn't. I didn't like how Cyrus' father was critical towards hip-hop/rap and claiming it was considered "devil music" and that it was going against God, but his apology and turn to accept it made up for it and there were times where "Lord of Da Bling" would just mess with Cyrus and I was wishing he would just fight back and call him out with a freestyle but he didn't and that was really disappointing for me. This is only the 2nd Disney channel movie where the cast was African-American and I was alright with it mainly because I've seen mostly white people on their shows I'm not being racist it's true so I'm glad they changed it up for this movie. As someone who considers themselves a connoisseur of children's film and television, I recommend this movie to any kid or family looking to have a fun, clean, yet contemporary, heartwarming musical experience. Although I understand that again, this is for kids, so the point often has to be a bit more expressed.Overall, I am proud of Disney for making this film. At this point of the film Cyrus (Williams) has confessed to Roxanne (Jones. It stars Tyler James Williams and features Coco Jones. Without getting into too much detail, I would have preferred for the dad/preacher and the church scenes overall to have been a bit less nonsensical. This song Me and You was written for the Disney film Let It Shine. After all, whats cheesy and cliché to an adult is often a first time experience for a kid.The movie progressed at a decent pace, and was entertaining and engaging the whole way though.My only complaint with this movie is the church scenes. I believe cheese and clichés in kids movies are totally fine. I hope America as a whole will support this movie as well.Of course the movie is a bit cheesy at times, but it's intended to be for kids. I think it says a lot about how far television has come in terms of diversity. As someone who is typically 100% NOT a fan of rap, I liked the rap in this film, because the message was clean, and thoughtful and the beats were hot.I was thrilled to see Disney encourage it's minority viewers with this film. The writing, especially the rap, was pretty impressive for Disney. Without further ado, here are the 50 funniest rap songs.Movie outside of watching it. Sometimes, we just have to laugh and appreciate the lyrics for what they are. And how could we forget that Sisqo made a song about a certain style of underwear that had everyone ready to hit up Victoria’s Secret.Īll this goes to say, hip-hop can be taken lightly, too.
And speaking of IG, leave it to Yo Gotti to get your DM’s poppin’.īut the comedy far predates YouTube, Snapchat, and Instagram Eminem wouldn’t be Eminem if it wasn’t for the “The Real Slim Shady.” The Ying Yang Twins brought nasty to a whole new level when they created a song so dirty they had to whisper it? After rapping about Jesus, Kanye West took the next logical step and created a safe place for all the gold diggers in the world. For 50 Cent, this means trolling whoever and whatever comes in sight. Instagram is another example of a platform where an artist can let their true colors shine. Aside from his undeniable talent behind the mic, LD effortlessly reveals a career in comedy is at his fingertips. When it comes to music videos, Lil Dicky sets the bar high with “$ave Dat Money,” which clocks in at over 84 million views and counting. Whether it’s a GIF, a tweet, a meme, a Snapchat - there’s never a bad time to insert comedy into any given situation. Today, with the ever-changing nuances of technology and the Internet, rappers can express themselves and their senses of humor in ways far beyond that their music. With that comes personality, charm, and, of course, a good sense-of-humor. While Biggie and Tupac represent the best of hip-hop excellence from both coasts, we also remember these two as humans beings, just like the rest of us.
As hip-hop remains a staple in our society, we continue to appreciate the artists behind this broad genre of music.
