Li'l D was crushed when sunny and his music teacher end up missing on the same day so he arrange a benefit concert to raise money for a new teacher and at the end he ends up with his idol sunny bridges now i got a few things to say about this esipode very dramatic,very funny well excepted for the part when sunny was rhyming to li'l d in the pawn shop and the music has a message to it like life without music and the throwdown joint was off the hook but a little wack the way madison mess-up by screwing up the whole song and my favorite characters are sunny,li'l d and madison now madision is straight up funny when she can't shut the f*** up all the them and that's the new generation of funny and i think we would give this series a chance but andre here's some advice if you want represent atl,be just like t.i. in 'ATL" except with all the drugs or the racism and sex just like atl but in your own waymoreless

It's original for a show of it's type, but the jokes were at a minimum. The only ones I laughed at were the (obviously Wayans Bros. style) preacher joke, the rich kid's dad's note was a little funny, and some of the lines from the (possibly insane by my judegement) blonde girl hit the funny bone a little. But the plot line dragged on for too long. We already knew how it was going to end, just hurry it up! The musak at the end was a little annoying, since the chorus was repeated a million times, and I only remember one verse for it. The "video" for it...freakin' hideous. The animation deteriorated into flash and the same retarded old bull crap was shown every twenty-five seconds. And I LISTEN to Outkast for cryin' out loud! This was Andre's worst song...ever. His last stuff before this show with his friend Big Boi were great, deffinately the really creepy future predition "Bombs Over Baghdad" that he threw out way before Bush lied about the WMDs. That's it, my ranting's done. The how needs better jokes, better music, better plots, and it'll be more watchable. I'll "pedict" the future now...I see Big Boi appearing in an episode...Like we won't see that coming, unless he hates the show and doesn't want to help his friend out.moreless

CN struck gold!

I can't believe the negative reviews that are coming in already! This was an excellent start to a very promising series. Afterall, you can hardly go wrong with Andre 3000. This introduced us to some pretty good cultural stereotypes, excellent music, great comic timing, and a nice clash of old school Atlanta with today's hip hop music specially created for this show by Andre 3000 himself--though the drawing could use some work. I don't know why so many hate it after this one episode, especially with the music and stuff I mentioned but this looks like the show that might save CN down the stretch.

If this show is to indeed carry on, it'll have to rely heavily on its stereotyped characters and music that only Andre 3000 can deliver. Keep it up!moreless

Great Song.

9.7

By Angel38968, Nov 24, 2006

"Throwdown" is probably my favorite song of the series. I love all the other song but that song is my top dog favorite!!! Well, so far it is. There's bound to be lots more music videos in the episodes to come and "Throwdown" will probably be overthrown by another video as my fave. My other sisters' fave video is "Throwdown" also so I guess we are related and I'm not adopted. My faverite part of the video is most likely be when Madison says her astrological sign instead of the instrument that she plays and Sunny has to correct her. I just grinned the first time I heard that.moreless
