Three
young rap artists down in South
Central Los Angeles want their
big break to perform in Las Vegas
but aren't getting any luck.
They go to a pimp named Mack
Daddy (Ice T) for help and he
almost cionsuiders but then
refuses.
They decided to rob his place
late at night thinking that tyhey
have killed him stealing gold and
a golden flute that belonged to
the fiesty Leprechaun (Warwick
Davis) that remained a statue
with the medallion on him as Mack
Daddy stole his gold. However
they steal the medallion toowhich
unleashes him.
The Leprechaun tears of Mack
Daddy's finger and forces him to
have his gold coins and flute
returned to him or it's his life.
The three young rappers are on a
chase from Mack Daddy and the
Leprechaun but to their luck they
realise that playing the flute
gives them instant success to
small gigs leading up to their
dreams. However, their luck will
soon be running out from the
grips of both the Leprechaun and
Mack Daddy.

This film was an
improvement from the previous
sequel and a good look at the
lifestyle of rap artists too.
This film stands on it's own bugi
time and it looks enjoyable
during the beginning but however
the film is very slacking and too
long.
Plus the stroy is way too comedic
and not at all scary.
The acting is in
fair taste as we seem to have a
descent cast involved with this
film.
A.T. Montgomery knew his
stuff as the head rap guy and had
a very strong part to his rolwe
which he did very well at.
Legendary rapper Ice T lived
to play the pimp Mack Daddy as he
showed total immoral behavior to
his part.
Ivory Ocean was fairly
descent playing a reverend at his
church.
However, Bebe Drake was
too corny in her role as the
mother of Montgomery's character.

shows some nice directorial
moments with the cast and
locations down in Los Angeles but
however some of his work is too
corny too.
He really brought Ice
T's character out a great
deal playing a bad ass pimp as he
coached his nasty aggressions
well plus had great shots on him
holding his gun ready to blow his
victims away.
There's a funny brief dialogue
between the Iceman and Warwick
Davis when they share a toke
with one another.
We have great performances by all
three cast members A.T. Montgomery,
Rashaan Nall and Red
Grant doing stuff together
as well as performing their rap
music and running away from
trouble which is nothing but high
energy alltogether.
There's also a good shot on Montgomery
when he plays the flute and
perfect reaction to the cast as
they look frozen with shocked
expressions before the good luck
happens.
We have a real lusty and
effective scene that involves
supporting actor Dan Martin and
small time actress Donna M.
Perkins who plays his wife
feeling out one another which
looks very realistic.
Ivory Ocean does well
preaching at his church and shows
perfect reactions when he sees a
lusty wonmen staring at him later
on.
You will get a kick out of both Montgomery
and Grant when they
dress up for drag in order to
trick the Leprechaun.
You'll love the ending scene when
Davis does a rap
performance in a club.

lines]
Leprechaun: Death to he
who sets a Leprechaun free. Steal
his gold, it will corrupt your
soul, you see. For many a moon
the legend has grown, death toll
increases, solution unknown.
Beware the evil wanderer in
search of his loot, lest you
suffer the wrath of his golden
flute. Flee while you can, the
future's not good- for no one is
safe from a Lep in the Hood!
Mack
Daddy: [On the phone]
Hey you, you listen to me. You
don't wanna fuck with me, okay? I
hope you had sex last night,
'cause I'm gonna come over there
and I'm gonna cut off your dick,
then I'm gonna feed it to my pit,
then I'm gonna burn the shit when
it comes out my goddam dog's ass,
you hear me? Don't fuck with me,
bitch!
Mack
Daddy: Get the fuck outta
here! You motherfuckers are
wasting my time. I got chumps
lined up around the corner trying
to get down with this label,
alright? You get no second
fucking chance. Now get the fuck
out.
Stray Bullet: Listen,
Mack, we wanna do this.
Mack Daddy: What's the
matter wit you, kid? You deaf? Or
you just dumb like your mamas, I
got to come over there and bitch
slap you like I used to do her.
Stray Bullet: Hey, let me
tell you something...
Mack Daddy: Check
yourself, kid. Don't even fuck
around. Just get out of here
before I get you and your
motherfucking home boys fucked
up. This is real here, Kid. Get
these fucking losers out.
[after
first seeing Leprechaun]
Butch: What the fuck is
that?
Stray Bullet: I don't
know, Chucky on crack? Shoot that
motherfucker!
Leprechaun:
A friend with weed is a friend
indeed, but a friend with gold is
the best I'm told.
Postmaster
P: [singing] Jesus
loves me. This I know.
Stray Bullet: [singing]
If he don't, I'll find a ho...

Postmaster P: His mama's
