Damon "Coke" Daniels Movies

My Baby's Daddy co-screenwriter Damon "Coke" Daniels goes back to his hip-hop roots with this mockumentary detailing the fall and subsequent comeback attempt of fictional West Coast rap trio "Gangsta Rap." Murder Mike, Du Rag, and DJ Ballistics like to keep it old school. A shady threesome whose musical career has taken a back seat to constant run-ins with the law and multiple child custody cases in recent years, the self-proclaimed "godfathers of gangsta rap" scheme to save their fast slide into irrelevance by staging a triumphant return to the microphone. After bursting onto the scene with such tracks as "In My House Shoes" and "My Momma's a Bitch" in the mid-1980s, Gangsta Rap remained a sizable fixture on the West Coast rap scene for nearly a decade. Now, after years of setbacks and self-destructive in-fighting, Gangsta Rap is finally prepared to show the new school just what the original gangstas have to offer. With special appearances by Too Short, Howie Bell, Clifton Powell, Leslie, and Gerald Johnson, Gangsta Rap: A Glockumentary offers a seamless blend of hip-hop humor and street smart satire. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three lazy pals find they're facing fatherhood simultaneously in this light-hearted comedy co-written by star Eddie Griffin. Lonnie (Griffin), G. (Anthony Anderson), and Dominick (Michael Imperioli) live stress-free lives with Lonnie's trash-talking Uncle Virgil (John Amos). But when all three young men's girlfriends get knocked up at the same time, they're forced to take a long, hard look at their lifestyles. For G., who works at the family grocery store of his girlfriend Xi Xi (Bai Ling), that means saying no to criminal temptation and staying on the straight and narrow; for Dominick, it means taking time out from his busy career as a record producer and coming to terms with surprise revelations from his baby's momma; and for Lonnie, it means recognizing ghetto-fabulous girlfriend Rolonda (Paula Jai Parker) as the gold-digger she is and finding a new lady love without sacrificing his individuality. Directed by Cheryl Dunye, whose previous features were low-budget indies, My Baby's Daddy also stars rapper Method Man as imposing ex-con No Good. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
