Behind the Music That Sucks, Vol. 4 - Killin' Cops and Hip-Hop!

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
These crudely drawn animations, which place photos of famous faces atop sketchily drawn animated bodies and put rude words in their hinge-jawed mouths, are never quite as funny as their creators seem to think, though they occasionally come up with an amusing concept. Their sole purpose is to ridicule popular music figures (in this case, rappers and hip-hoppers) by pointing out their lack of talent and their bad social habits. Which, with this group, doesn't take much. One of the few redeeming features is the way each musician (including Limp Bizkit, LL Cool J, Kid Rock, and Insane Clown Posse) has his story told as though it were part of a different pop-culture touch point. Thus, Will Smith's career is turned into a blistering Forrest Gump send-up, while Dr. Dre becomes a stand-in for Charlie Brown, with Suge Knight, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem as the other "Peanuts" characters. --Marshall Fine
