    Description of Prison Song:
    Like Chicago, Prison Song is a musical set behind bars, but there's no dancing and minimal singing. Elijah is a talented 10-year-old photographer. His mother (R&B diva Mary J. Blige) works at a fast food joint and dreams of becoming a lawyer. The sky's the limit until Elijah, his mother, and his mother's boyfriend (Harold Perrineau) are all locked up for various offenses. The story picks up several years later as Elijah (now played by A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip) is accepted to college, but ends up in prison after accidentally killing another group home resident (rapper Fat Joe). Prison Song was cowritten and produced by Q-Tip and Darnell Martin (I Like It Like That) and plays like an extended episode of Oz (in which Perrineau played a key role). Blige's "Mom's Song" is the musical highlight, and Elvis Costello appears as Elijah's teacher and lawyer, but does not sing. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    Prison Song Reviews:
    damn good movie 5 Star Review
    2007-10-18 - this was a great movie. i thought it would be lackluster and semi comedic since it had rappers in it. though they arent exactly thespians, this movie was great. i was sad at the end.

    Now that is what I am talking about 4 Star Review
    2006-12-14 - I thought this movie was a major attempt to illuminate the struggle in inner city life. It would have been one of success and triumph except for a system that tends funnel many people into the criminal justice enviornment. Most importantly it showed how the profit motives of the criminal justice systems rewards what can only be called current day slave holders all under the glaring eyes of serving justice. It should be watched not on BET with commercials destroying the pace and fabric of the film maker but in a theatre or if not possible at home. Beautiful performance by Mary J and the rest of the case. KUDOS

    Prison Song Success 3 Star Review
    2005-07-28 - I thought this movie was pretty good. I watched it for the first time two days ago. Loved the scene with Qtip putting his hands up as if they were a camera and taking pictures, "Click, click". The overall movie was great and I loved the music which leads me to this subject: I can not find this soundtrack anywhere. If there is someone out there that has any input please help as I am desperate to get this music. bigcinc2003@yahoo.com
