Should you see it? No.
Jay-Z and his Rock-a-Fella Productions made this film about Beanie Sigel - here imaginatively named "Beans" - and other musicians, including Jay-Z, that details a Philly thug's take-over of the local drug trade with his ABM ("All Black Mafia" or "All 'Bout the Money" or, as it seems "Agonizing Bowel Movement"). The film is filled with seemingly improvised rap done poorly, gratuitous nudity - finding a screen grab to use without a naked woman in it was difficult and pointless, unbelievable violence. The thin script falls apart and seems to become a self-parody at the end and there's only one rapper with any acting ability (and he's not a major character). There is a minor laugh to be had with the repetitious story as one scene replays a dozen times.
