'Foolish' Waise is a talented comedian with a hard-edge trying to make it in the comedy clubs in LA while his brother is a hard-nosed gangster trying to make it on the streets. With all the competition they face in their chosen "professions," their biggest battle is with each other over the love of a pretty girl.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eddie Griffin and Master P are real-life cousins, which explains the effortless roasting. Director Dave Meyers went on to direct literally every pop music video you loved in the 2000s.
This was No Limit Films' attempt at prestige—their 'serious' movie between 'I Got the Hook Up' and 'Hot Boyz.' It tanked because nobody wanted Master P to cry on screen in 1999.
