A lot of people like talking up their plans to "cut an album" with their "band." Seth Kroll likes actually doing it.
If more movies opened with a bling-encrusted rap artist holding fistfuls of cash and shaking two bottles of Armadale over a steaming hot tub full of honeys, maybe more movies would be box office hits.
