agreed, especially glad to see that Biz Markie is still making the music
with his mouth (that 'Mr. Large' track is SOOOO fresh).  My only big
complaint is that this Sha fellow can get pretty annoying.  Breeze(ly
Brewin) is on point, like from the Juggaknots days.  That one where he
rhymes back and forth on the phone with his girlfriend, and then switches
lines to the beat and everything is also nice.  There were a few people
poorly cast- De La as crack buyers!??! Sadat X as a inmate?!, come on..

there are 'plans' for one, and there is a 'trailer'(video) out, which
features excerpts of all the characters in their roles corresponding to
excerpts from the album, so i guess paul is really going through with it
