Recently I watched the film How 2 Build A Rapper
, not knowing exactly what to expect but it actually turned out to be really funny.
For those who haven’t seen it, How 2 is about a young guy named JP who desperately wants to become a successful rapper. The film takes you through his journey, starting with a hip hop makeover, to learning how to rap from a book called Underground Hip Hop for Dummies, to leaning how to roll a blunt like a pro.
One of the funniest parts in the film was when the producers took him to a strip club and taught him how to throw money at a stripper. I didn’t even know there were different ways to tip a stripper. He wrote down every detail as fast as he could so he wouldn’t forget any of the steps.
Throughout the movie I couldn’t tell JP was a paid actor or if it was a real documentary of this young all-American man who genuinely wanted to become a rapper. Is it a mockumentary or a documentary? I still don’t know. But if you are looking for a good laugh this is a great movie to buy.

“…And on the 7th Day, God Rocked” is very similar. Check it out! It’s a mockumentary about a Christian Battle of the Bands in Minnesota. Hysterical.
Marvelous show…”…and on the 7th Day, God Rocked!!” We watched this at a convention recently. It was great! Loved the music, really funny jokes, the characters were hysterical!! I’d watch it again!!
Thanks, Kirk, for reminding me of this film!!!
