I Got the Hook Up Movie/Soundtrack

After the hood success of I’m Bout It, I think it’s about time for another movie by No Limit and this time with a budget beyond a RCA camera and a tuna fish sandwich. Master P finally releases his second movie entitled “I Got the Hook Up”, but this time it’s jam packed with movie stars such as the original Kevin Hart…AJ Johnson, John Witherspoon, Tommy Lister, Jr (Debo), the old lady from 227, and many more. Will this movie be better than “I’m Bout It”….sighs…maybe. I Got the Hook Up is basically an Atari 7800 version of Friday with even more hijinks than the movie. However, most of these hijinks are not even funny and the movie is just one big clusterfuck of events. The plot of the movie is Master P and AJ Johnson known as “Black and Blue” run a hood flea market that sells broken appliances. A driver accidentally delivers cell phones to their establishment and they decide to take the phones off of the driver’s hands. Unfortunately, this plan was a disaster waiting to happen as the cell phones were busted. This resulted in a local crime group losing their money to random strangers that found out about their deal, because of the broken cell phones. Fuckery commence as Black and Blue spend the whole movie avoiding the Tiny and his crew, plus the FBI.

Beyond the ridiculous plot, I Got the Hook Up is an ok movie that tries to be funny, but receives a few chuckles. It’s not an Oscar worthy movie, but it’s a good Netflix clowning with your friends’ type of flick.


Now the soundtrack, it’s pretty good. The album is packed full of superstars like Jay Z, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Eightball and MJG, Snoop Dogg, ODB, UGK, NO Joe, Montell Jordan, Mack 10, and many more. I Got the Hook Up starts off with the track “Hook it Up” featuring Master P and Bone Thugs and Harmony to start the soundtrack off right. Tracks like “Ghetto Vet”, “What the Game Made Me”, “Let’s Ride”, “Who Rock This”, and “What You Need” serves its purpose by hooking up the listener to plenty of bangers.

Bottom Line, it’s a pretty good soundtrack for what it’s worth. Slow moments at some points of the album, but it’s a good listen for the car or headphones.

Movie Rating: 3 Stars

Overall Score: 8.0

I'm just getting at the tip of the iceberg. He cooked up some stinkers during his 98-99 run. Next movie coming up is Da Last Don around the time of his double album.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but nobody gives one single fuck about these reviews.

Sample Song

I never knew modern day rap could be this good (and trust me, I've tried to listen to a lot of modern day rap) until I heard this album. David Burd takes his uprisings as a middle class Jewish guy who used to make commercials for the NBA and takes them all to the next level as he presents us with his rap persona..Lil Dicky. Now, Lil Dicky is that dude that we went to high school with and still lives the same life that he did a decade ago (and lives like it too), but that makes it more relatable for everyone out there (like myself). What this album does that most parody albums fail at doing is present itself as an actual rap album that you and your homeboys from the lacrosse team can blast on the way to the party that the chick from your Freshman 101 class is throwing and NOT come off as someone who "ironically" likes rap (as this album has features from great rap legends such as Snoop Dogg, Rich Homie Quan, and Fetty Wap). If you listened to all of the Lonely Island albums for some reason and wanted more of that (and some more), than this album is the one for you (also, check out the sample song I posted and see how Lil Dicky is blessed to be able to make a rap video without using any of his own money)!

Score: 8.5/10

Romeo! was a show that aired on the Nickelodeon in the early 2000s that starred Romeo, who is the son of Master P. In the show, Romeo plays a typical kid who is in a band, goes to school, and deals with the troubles of being a teen! Master P is there for him to give him life advice and help him out, but we all know that he just misses the days of when he used to be a successful rapper and wasn't the co-star of his son's show. The show is better than the movies that No Limit did produce in the 90s, so I'll give the show that

Score: 7/10

Who will carry the No Limit review torch tho?

Anyone?

Here's a No Limit review:

They inspired some cool stuff and some bad stuff, but the important thing is that they were all fucking shit except Mystikal, who ended up being a rapist.

4/10.
