Although the quality of Kevin Smith films generally speak for themselves, I found it interesting that nobody has discussed the many links this hilarious cinematic masterpiece has to hip-hop. From Loki and Bartleby's "wager" about the box-office draw of Krush Groove to Chris Rock's homeboy-from-heaven portrayal of the 13th Apostle (certainly preferable to seeing him play a crack fiend), this film delights in mixing serious religion with a straight up b-boy attitude. The only way this film could have been any more hip is if Puff Daddy had been lambasted as the Anti-Christ instead of Mooby the Cow!
