About
Not for you if you want a light, crime-free story or if rap biopics like Notorious or All Eyez on Me aren’t your thing, as this one leans into gangster life, grit, and music-heavy themes.
Pros: great rap music; gripping life story; strong supporting cast | Cons: uneven acting; violence and language; some parts feel flat
