ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
James Sheppard (digitalwarrior) I saw Adult Swim's advertising blitz for Freaknik and was so annoyed by it I watched the show out of spite. I actually hoped that it was bad I could keep complaining about the direction they are taking on some of their animated shows. I was pleasantly surprised.If Freaknik is any indication to what Adult Swim is going to put out in the future, I'm excited. I grew up in Atlanta and I remember Freaknik coming through the city. I had no idea how they would make this into an animated TV show and honestly thought they were going to screw up.The show had a rather silly plot with a lot of small jokes scattered throughout it. I had to watch it again because I giggled at things characters said (or just Lil John going "WHAT?!" in the background) and missed some dialog. The music in it is pretty good and it's really amazing to see so many artists collaborate on something and have it turn out pretty well. Very entertaining and easily re-watchable.
niccixoxo So what I didn't know, was that a butt load of celebrities are in the show. I am an avid fan of Charlie Murphy so that was a great surprise. I love Lil Wayne from the depths of my heart, not to mention DJ Pooh (Red from Friday) and a slew of other rappers and actors.It was very entertaining. If you didn't like it, it's because you didn't get it. If you like rap at all, and are into that stuff then you will enjoy it. It's witty and daring. It challenges some stereotypes and actually has a message: "Dont give up" even with all the obstacles and temptation that you may come up against, and become pry too! Because it doesn't just show up, we often succumb to it. BUT if you don't understand rap, then you wont see that message. The way they talk and phrase these things, unless you are in the same groove wit these type of musical artists you would not understand it. The spoofs are hilarious! The "Bule" (don't think i spelled that right) are a bunch of black iconic figures and if you don't recognize their image and mock voice then its just not as funny.Loved the animation. it was very visually pleasing to me. I woke up at 446 this morning and adult swim was on my TV so i caught the last 45 minutes. I am in the process of seeing if i can get it on my ipod soon or in the future. I would watch it over and over again.If you're into African American and rap culture you will find it enjoyable.
girrocksmysocksoff I watched this movie and just fell in love. The rapping is solid and sounds great. The acting was humorous and well done. The story line was not made to be serious. I know a lot of people dog on T-Pain for "over using auto-tune", which does at times make people sound a lot better. But I think what people miss is that it brings a style to singing. Maybe T-Pain sucks at singing with out the help of the program, but with it he brings a different style of music. Which can also work in his favor, such as it may work for his voice but for another person could make it sound horrible. It may not be talent but it sounds really good, so why dog it. It works really good with the musical. The art of the musical is all done in I guess you would say a graffiti style which is perfect for the movie it is.In a nut shell: Its a rap musical, featuring several top rap artist, with T-Pain as Freaknik turning Spring Break into the party it should be, and three young men trying to rising to fame.Can not wait for the soundtrack ^_^
bjosephnelson Best thing to happen to and come from hip hop in many years. Freaknic, The Musical has a star studded cast (of hip hop artists) that brings the excellently written script to life, as well as gives depth and realism. "Freaknic ain't real, its a urban legend, like Candyman (the character from the movie)," became, for me, one of the more memorable lines from the musical. Great one-liners and 90's references as the previously mentioned before are pleasantly placed throughout the musical, maintaining a quick pace of comedy. Freaknic, The Musical, as a work of hip hop music brings a fresh critique of the genre as a popular art form and as an urban form. Freaknic, The Musical also offers an intellectual component, similar to Adult Swim's The Boondocks, as it makes fun of conservative black thought for more liberal and modern culture. Once again, Adult Swim has delivered thoughtful programing for its targeted audience.
