An aspiring rap singer (Pras) and his business partner (Ja
Rule) try to make a CD but need cash to pay for studio time; they end up meddling with
drug money. Based on the autobiographical book, Ghetto Supastar, by Pras himself. Also
with Eugene Clark, Jason Statham, Patricia Velazquez, Tamala Jones and Vondie Curtis-Hall. [1:27]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A little sexual innuendo and a couple of scenes of passionate
kissing. We see a woman in bed covered by a sheet (her bare back is visible). We see a
woman in her underwear; at first we see her bare back, and then we briefly see the side of
her breast.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Lots of threatening and shooting with guns; a man is shot
in the head (we don't see the bullet hit him), a man is shot in the gut at point-blank
range, a man is shot in the chest and shoulder, a man in shot in the arm, and in a few
scenes several men are shot in the chest several times (we see blood stains on a few of
the men; they all presumably die). A man is shot and then electrocuted; his dead body is
caught in what appears to be a wire and dangles from some stairs. A person dies of a heart
attack; we see the body lying on the floor. A man's face is nearly shoved into a meat
slicer's circulating blade; he's spared at the last second, but then gets beaten up
instead. A man punches another's stomach and face a few times; a man punches and kicks
another several times, bloodying his face; a man is kicked in the gut several times; a man
is kicked in the groin; a man's head is slammed into glasses on a shelf; and a man is hit
over the head with a gun. We see blood all over a man's face; also, we see blood
surrounding a man's mouth. A man chops up a fish with a clever.
PROFANITY 10 - About 105 F-words, some anatomical references, several
scatological references, some mild obscenities, a few religious obscenities, several
insults, and many racial slurs. [profanity glossary]

crime, romantic relationships, parenting, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, abortion, deadbeat
dads, father-son relationships, death.
