Way better than Bodied, but also just good on its own.

It's not a YouTube film so obviously the production value is better. It's got a good story and very human characters, the battling is icing on the cake. Shotty Horroh plays a believable villain as Slaughter. I liked the ending too. If you like battle rap you'll like the movie. The cameos are great fan service and the soundtrack was well-curated. They even threw in some of Shotty's music, which I enjoyed. I'm glad they didn't make it a comedy, I thought Bodied didn't do as good a job with characters or the ending. There are some lines that reference 8 Mile, and I haven't seen it in a long time but this movie gives it a run for its money IMO. Just needs some time to settle.

I bought the character development and the altercations were well-performed. It's not a bad movie, not sure what the fuss is about.
