I used to love rap music for the beats, the rhymes, and the flow, but when I started listening to the lyrics more closely, I began to appreciate the intelligence and poetry behind it, and I loved it even more.
Sometimes talent alone is not enough; what you need more to be successful is someone who believes in you more than you believe in yourself and is always there to remind you how awesome and talented you are, how important your dream is, and that it is not okay to give up on your dreams.
The After Party is a Music, hip-hop, comedy Netflix movie produced in 2018 and directed by Ian Edelman. The movie features a young rapper and his manager who have dreamed of breaking out in the music industry since they were kids.
Owen, played by recording artist Kyle, is a talented rapper who thought his dream of becoming a famous rapper had come to an end after he vomited on Wiz Khalifa during a performance and had a seizure afterwards.
He went viral on social media for the wrong reason, and every record label wanted to have nothing to do with him, but only his best friend and manager believed him and will keep encouraging him, believing that there is no such thing as bad press.
Jeff, played by Harrison Holzer, his manager and best friend, after he had told him of his plans of taking a different route in his future, and had to make him agree to a time line to get him a contract before the decision is sealed, in so doing he had to push him to attend a show and will later sneak into an exclusive After Party of the show just to pitch a demo to a major music executive.
What captured me about the movie is the introduction of real-life Music artists and media personalities like Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, DJ Khalid and the likes of them; it made me wonder how much it cost to produce the movie or whether they appeared for royalties.
I also love how fast the movie was to watch, as it was very fun to watch, and the role played by Jeff as the manager, a hyperactive person always trying to make small talk, made the movie more interesting, and Kyle also played his role very well; having to split good rhymes and rap made the movie epic to me.
What I genuinely love about the movie is the rap, hip-hop and basically the soundtrack used in the movie. It was a fun watch for me, and I will recommend it to people who love hip-hop music.
