As long as the hoods exist, so will hood movies. Directed by Lawrence Page (Statistic), Murda Muzik is set in Mobb Deep's native Queensbridge and was inspired by Havoc and Prodigy's 1999 album of the same name (there's also a soundtrack). The straight-to-video release, which features big-name hip-hop talent like Big Noyd and Nas, may be manna for Mobb Deep faithful--but all others are advised to proceed with caution. Unlike John Singleton's Boyz N the Hood, the king of the hood movies, Murda Muzik lacks a plot and the dialogue, which appears to have been improvised on the spot, is hard to follow. The action, such as it is, consists of drinking, smoking, and drug dealing. There's also some sex and murder. If that sounds enticing, you'd be better off with Brian De Palma's Scarface. Al Pacino's Tony Montana is everything the characters in Murda Muzik are not: interesting. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews

This movie was seriously lacking
This movie was wack. The acting was just bad and there was no plot to speak of. It was all over the place with no resolution at the end. Mobb Deep should really stick to music.

Insider's look
Murda Muzik is an insider's look at the rap scene in Queens NY, one of the hottest music scenes in existence today. It's rough and tough and tells a great story for those who want to see it from a the safe seat of their living room. Powered by superstars, this is a great indie film!

Alright
I would only recommend this for Mobb fans only. It's okay to me because I am a Mobb fan but, to Hip-Hop lovers they may not like it because, the acting sucks as well as the production.
