I was a pretty good video. The animation wasn't the greatest but the plot was pretty decent. I'd recommend it for a first view but I probably wouldn't watch it again any time soon. The plot had some good points to it that weren't typical of something you would get out of most Hip/Hop. The voice actors did a pretty good job. It was also cool that they had Kel Mitchell in it since I haven't seen him in anything lately. All in all I would give in an 8 out of 10. Not because it wasn't great but because it was lacking in some of the things that you would expect out of an animated movie but it did have some of the plot features that you don't soo to often in movies nowadays.

Freaknik
ppbearcat59059 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Freaknik Is Great. Good Tunes, Funny one liners, and an all around wild n' out attitude. One Person had stated that Freaknik was an ALIEN and not a ghost. If you listen to the Obama character and others in the show, they call Freaknik The Ghost with the Most. His spirit was brought back to "fix" spring break and cause all around funkyness to a dreary nation.At the End when the aliens come for Freaknik, they're not taking him "back home"(being that his home is ATLANTA), but to another galaxy in which his positive attitude could help the bored, mundane inhabitants of this galaxy. But all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Freaknik. Weed Helps too.
Freaknic is an Urban Legend
bjosephnelson8 March 2010
Best thing to happen to and come from hip hop in many years. Freaknic, The Musical has a star studded cast (of hip hop artists) that brings the excellently written script to life, as well as gives depth and realism. "Freaknic ain't real, its a urban legend, like Candyman (the character from the movie)," became, for me, one of the more memorable lines from the musical. Great one-liners and 90's references as the previously mentioned before are pleasantly placed throughout the musical, maintaining a quick pace of comedy. Freaknic, The Musical, as a work of hip hop music brings a fresh critique of the genre as a popular art form and as an urban form. Freaknic, The Musical also offers an intellectual component, similar to Adult Swim's The Boondocks, as it makes fun of conservative black thought for more liberal and modern culture. Once again, Adult Swim has delivered thoughtful programing for its targeted audience.
Gangsta Culture In A Blender
jamaisj8 March 2010
I'm not really sure where to start with this. I know that Adult Swim tends to play towards the lowest common denominator, but this is ridiculous; never has the bar been set lower. Take some gangsta stylings, add in a rap battle that ends in a Dragon Ball Z power-up, make sure that the n-word gets dropped on a regular basis, and throw in "weed=good" and "all we want is bling and bitches" messages, and that pretty much sums up the movie. You see committee movies in Hollywood all the time; this was a movie produced by a gangsta-wannabes.
It's mildly homophobic (you have a group of ostensibly gay rappers that provide the counterpoint to the show's group of up-and-comers), and women are relegated to pure sex objects; with the exception of the leader of the 10%-ers, the only women in the show are literally nothing but sex objects; heck, one of the rewards for winning the contest is a lifetime of ho's, and one of the numbers shows Freaknik going around transforming women into big-busted bra and Daisy Duke-wearing ho's. The sole intelligent woman was portrayed as a hungry shrew that wanted nothing but control.
The portrayal of the men wasn't much better. Cops are evil, drugs and alcohol are good, and gang credos rule. All that matters for them is getting drunk, laid, and high. I know that young men see fame as a way to getting sex and drugs, but they usually learn something about whats important on the way up; in this show, it wasn't about how the music was important, but how it was a way to money and getting laid. There was nothing solid about any of the male characters; sort of fitting that that a ghost was the lead, I think...
I know that this was supposed to be "light-hearted" and in the vein of the House Party movies, but it just came off as offensive. I think if you wanted proof that the civil rights movement is dead, and not in a good way, this show would be it...

Amazing but misunderstood
girrocksmysocksoff8 March 2010
I watched this movie and just fell in love. The rapping is solid and sounds great. The acting was humorous and well done. The story line was not made to be serious. I know a lot of people dog on T-Pain for "over using auto-tune", which does at times make people sound a lot better. But I think what people miss is that it brings a style to singing. Maybe T-Pain sucks at singing with out the help of the program, but with it he brings a different style of music. Which can also work in his favor, such as it may work for his voice but for another person could make it sound horrible. It may not be talent but it sounds really good, so why dog it. It works really good with the musical. The art of the musical is all done in I guess you would say a graffiti style which is perfect for the movie it is.
In a nut shell: Its a rap musical, featuring several top rap artist, with T-Pain as Freaknik turning Spring Break into the party it should be, and three young men trying to rising to fame.
Can not wait for the soundtrack ^_^

Don't Auto Tune into Freaknik.
solidgameboy12-18 March 2010
Freaknik is the Adult Swim 1 hour program that stars rapper T-pain, the rapper notoriously known for his use of Auto Tune throughout his albums.
I can't say I'm a follower in the legion of T-pain fans (I'm classic rock, I have to say) but I do watch a lot of Adult Swim, and unlike most of the shows, I couldn't get myself to miss this.
The story starts when the major character, Freaknik, an Atlanta rapper who was at the top of his game, was arrested and eventually killed (A obvious reference to many famous rappers, who die so mysteriously) but a cool little summoning brings back the spirit of Freaknik, and thus, the voice that is the Auto-Tune sound of T-Pain arises.
The story kind of moves into a rag to riches story that plays by the numbers. It may be an entire hour, but to be honest, it is not the story I was watching it for, because I have seen better; it's the actors, the music and the character, Freaknik.
Again, I am not a rap music enthusiast; In fact, if I had to advocate any rap music, it was everything in the 90s and that was the end of it, and I do not enjoy T-Pain's music, and yet, I was intrigued by it all. T-Pain sounds like a character when he "Raps", so in said case, the Auto Tune voice makes the character seem a little bit more lively.
The actors in the movie are probably the reason I wanted to see this for the most part: You have Snoop Dog, Andy Samberg and Bill Hader, Charlie Murphy, many great celebrity personalities to hear, but most are so underused in this project, Samberg and Hader used for about 3 minutes, Charlie Murphy for about a few seconds, and Snoop Dog for about a minute, all to bring us back to a few characters whose are dull as dishwater, actually.
So, all that leaves to judge is Freaknik, the character, who was actually the best part. The character, a spirit, is actually real lively in speech, and The songs Freaknik does range from the over-excesses of Women, Drinks and Money, to helping strippers getting out of their awful jobs and getting them into college.
This is where the movie excels, and unfortunately, that's as good as it gets. You get a handful of songs and a few chuckles here and there but that's it. It is a picture of little redeemable value.
I think the problem was so much of the ideas were based on T-Pain that everything was given a backseat, so in order to make the movie watchable, it was just up to hiring a few well known rappers to give most a movie part in something.
But, if this were a full length motion picture, I'm sure the story would be better than it is, and honestly, I'd like to see that. Freaknik is interesting character, perhaps in another longer project, just recreate the entire story to make characters who are interesting, not cardboard cutout ghetto characters with no passion or drive, you lose interest too quickly and it shows when the writers really create nothing more than an an overly long party sequence and a troupe of Flying Malcolm X's to wrap up the movie.
So in conclusion, If the character comes back, make it more interesting, let T-Pain do what he does best, and come back with more interesting characters.
A disappointing but brutal 4 out of 10.

An interesting adventure through hip hop and animation
digitalwarrior10 March 2010
I saw Adult Swim's advertising blitz for Freaknik and was so annoyed by it I watched the show out of spite. I actually hoped that it was bad I could keep complaining about the direction they are taking on some of their animated shows. I was pleasantly surprised.
If Freaknik is any indication to what Adult Swim is going to put out in the future, I'm excited. I grew up in Atlanta and I remember Freaknik coming through the city. I had no idea how they would make this into an animated TV show and honestly thought they were going to screw up.
The show had a rather silly plot with a lot of small jokes scattered throughout it. I had to watch it again because I giggled at things characters said (or just Lil John going "WHAT?!" in the background) and missed some dialog. The music in it is pretty good and it's really amazing to see so many artists collaborate on something and have it turn out pretty well. Very entertaining and easily re-watchable.

The Freak (And Sense) Stops Here
StevePulaski4 July 2010
Freaknik: The Musical is not a movie, TV show, or a special. It has nothing that belongs in the category of special. It runs in the category of an annoying, atrociously bad film, combined with low grade animation, and even worse, bad lyrics that are hardly understandable because of the terrible syncing process and the chaos usually corresponding the song. It can't be to complicated for a special, which it isn't. Its just a loud show that has an excuse to say "the n word".
T-Pain is a decent rapper, sometimes his songs are a little graphic, but for the most part he is tolerable, but his musical talents are wasted in this mess. He plays "The Ghost of Freaknik Past" in which he brings life to a dead party that took place in Atlanta a number of years ago. To me the celebration should have stayed dead, even in a cartoon, the show is still abysmal.
In the mean time, four amateur rappers try to make their way across the state to get to the rap battle being held at Freaknik. Cee-Lo, Rick Ro$$, DJ Pooh, and Young Money get into the usual mishaps while on the road. They find a wild house party, they try to avoid a group that is ironically trying to whipe Freaknik out (too being ironic Al Sharptoin, Oprah, and Bill Cosby resemble the people against Freaknik), and they need to win the Rap Battle so they get some money to pay their rent and finally get the respect they "seemingly" deserve from their family, friends, and the culture around them.
The show is cheesy and poorly animated to a new degree of awful. The colors are putrid and only black, brown, puke green, and gray hit the screen. It's as miserable as a foggy day. The unkempt society of this show is motley and unappealing to the eye. Aside from the number of problems this show has, the music is what counts. The song by the "Sweet Tea Mafia" is tolerable and doesn't cause harm to the ears, but other songs like T-Pain's "Freaknik's Back" and "Save You" are rushed and failed experiences clearly identifying that this show was a procrastinated mess that doesn't deserve recognition.
I've always admired Adult Swim for their clever lineup of shows, humorous bumps, and cool advertisements among the network. Though for every bump Adult Swim put up for this garbage made me just die a little inside. To quote Ally Sheedy's line in The Breakfast Club and as well seen in The 82nd Academy Awards "When you get older your heart dies." To add mine to the cult classics of movie quotations, "Whenever I see an ad for Freaknik my heart dies." Starring: T-Pain, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Rick Ro$$, Lil Wayne, Young Cash, Sophia Fresh, Snoop Dogg, DJ Pooh, Kelis, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Cee-Lo, Lil Jon, Big Boi, Kel Mitchell, Affion Crockett, Charlie Murphy, DJ Drama, Mack Maine, Mike Jones, and Carl Jones. Directed by: Chris Prynoski and Jacob Escobedo.

Surprisingly Entertaining
niccixoxo8 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
So what I didn't know, was that a butt load of celebrities are in the show. I am an avid fan of Charlie Murphy so that was a great surprise. I love Lil Wayne from the depths of my heart, not to mention DJ Pooh (Red from Friday) and a slew of other rappers and actors.
It was very entertaining. If you didn't like it, it's because you didn't get it. If you like rap at all, and are into that stuff then you will enjoy it. It's witty and daring. It challenges some stereotypes and actually has a message: "Dont give up" even with all the obstacles and temptation that you may come up against, and become pry too! Because it doesn't just show up, we often succumb to it. BUT if you don't understand rap, then you wont see that message. The way they talk and phrase these things, unless you are in the same groove wit these type of musical artists you would not understand it. The spoofs are hilarious! The "Bule" (don't think i spelled that right) are a bunch of black iconic figures and if you don't recognize their image and mock voice then its just not as funny.
Loved the animation. it was very visually pleasing to me. I woke up at 446 this morning and adult swim was on my TV so i caught the last 45 minutes. I am in the process of seeing if i can get it on my ipod soon or in the future. I would watch it over and over again.
If you're into African American and rap culture you will find it enjoyable.

I'm writing this in absolute disbelief how the main review that showed up on this page is absolutely asinine. I honestly thought for a moment that Al Sharpton himself decided that being a robot trying to destroy a festival wasn't satisfying enough to his ever-shrinking heart. But seriously, the reviewer gave it a 1-star, and went on to talk about how it was down right offensive and about nothing other than money, hoes, and weed.
This is the kind of thing that makes me upset, they had a multitude of rap and hip hop icons working neck and neck with the animators and the writing team. This entire show was supposed to be a tribute to an insane event that happened once a year. Not to be taken seriously by anybody, and to say the only intelligent female throughout, who is based off Oprah, that's just ridiculous. But then again I can tell you the reviewer who caused me to write this also was an extra in the movie itself. At one point Big Uzi is diving into a sea of gyrating asses. This was Jamais Jochim's acting debut in all it's gyrating glory.
This country we live in is a complete culture pit, and I think only when we strip off our pride and really destroy ourselves for comedic benefit is when progress from hundred year old grudges might actually happen.
But then again, titties, money, hoes.
Word out.

Freaknik: The Musical. More animation gold from Adult Swim.
tuonodiavoli8 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
((This post DOES contain Spoilers, however, there is no deep plot to this musical, and any spoilers end up being mild clarifications. Still, you have been warned))
Freaknik: The Musical is a hip-hop infused animation that deals purely with fun, comedy, and great music from the hip-hop genre. Adultswim indeed strikes gold again with this astonishing release.
First, the most obvious boon to this animation is the amazing line-up of Rap superstars.
T-Pain, whom does the voice over for the main character of the film "Freaknik". The character Freaknik is a extra-terrestrial "like" being whom embodies the spirit of fun, Hip-Hop, and things of the like.
(SPOILER: Freaknik is not a "Spirit" as he's been labeled in most reviews. He is an ALIEN. This becomes obvious when a "mothership" full of odd creatures descends from space and takes Freaknik back home to a different Galaxy.)
Other superstars include; Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Cee-Lo, Dj Pooh, and much more. Even non rap stars such as Charlie Murphy, Andy Samberg, and Bill Hader do work on this musical as well.
The "plot" of this musical is simple. Freaknik returns after more than 10 years of absence, turns Atlanta into one giant spring break party, throws a contest for "Trillest" rap group ever. The reward being unlimited Cash, Clothes, and Ho's.
Small time rap group, "Sweet Tea Mob", begin the voyage to Atlanta in order to rise out of poverty and into fame. Of course, their journey isn't easy.
Evil racist council "The Boule" tries to thwart Freaknik. Ultimately leading into Al Sharpton (Charlie Murphy) being transformed into some comedic robot/cyborg.
The plot, while very simple, flows smoothly and transitions everything nicely. The animation is lively, and unique. However, I must say that the soundtrack is what raises this feature far above average. If you watch this film, and you own a home theater system, crank it up.
In my personal opinion, the only downside of this feature is the seemingly short running time of 60 minutes. In my opinion, they could have done so much more. This is the only reason I'm not giving it a 10.
Ultimately, this is a MUST SEE for anyone even slightly interested in the genre. Amazing. 9 out of 10.

Adult Swim has been making cartoons whatever they are great, good, or bad and Freaknik: The Musical is one of those great Adults Swim cartoons! It has so much humor in it, the animation is rather decent and characters are funny! The rap songs are super catchy for me to listen to, they easily get stuck in my head. And I literally love how cartoony this looks! Freaknik: The Musical is without one of the best Adults Swim cartoons I have ever watched! Go and watch it! I give Freaknik: The Musical a 9.5/10
We all need a little Freaknik
gravesg8 March 2010
What can i say ? After watching it i was throughly impressed with the production values, the cast, and even the way it was animated.
The story was told at a nice pace, and our main group of characters all had their own personalities, each one had an original feel to them.
The music produced by T-pain, and co-produced by Tha bizness, was just fantastic. I mean seriously the scores were first class. i honestly wanted the justice league to be in on the sound scape, but alas this was produced very well without them. T-pain and tha Bizness did what they do best.
After watching it felt like it went by so fast i had to rewind and watch it all over again, and when i did i found myself not being fatigued by the music. It was just as refreshing as when i heard it the first time.
If you have any love for hip-hop music or great music scores, then this would definitely be you cup of tea.
My score originally was a 8 out of 10 but i figure i'd bump it to 9 seeing as how those that hate it, don't quite fully understand it, thus i'll pickup some of their slack.
