One of Too $hort ‘s songs has inspired a movie and it looks pretty good.

An official synopsis for the film reads: “Set in 1987 Oakland, ‘ Freaky Tales ‘ is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles.”
