A smart comedy about a day in the life of a barbershop on the south side of Chicago. Calvin (Cube), who inherited the struggling business from his deceased father, views the shop as nothing but a burden and waste of his time. After selling the shop to a local loan shark, Calvin slowly begins to see his father's vision and legacy and struggles with the notion that he just sold it out. Calvin's barbershop is filled with an eclectic and hilarious cast of characters that share their stories, jokes, trials and tribulations. In the shop we find Eddie (the Entertainer), an old barber with strong opinions and no customers. Jimmy (Thomas) is a highly educated barber with a superiority complex who can't stand Isaac (Garity), the new, white barber who just wants a shot at cutting some hair. Ricky is an ex-con with two strikes against him and is desperately trying to stay straight. Terri (Eve) is a hard-edged woman who can't seem to leave her two-timing boyfriend. And lastly there's Dinka, a fellow barber who is madly in love with Terri but doesn't get the time of day. (www.imdb.com)

'I'll probably just say Rick Ross and I probably bump Drake even more,' fat Joe tells MTV News of his own internal 'Hottest MCs in the Game' debate.By Rob Markman Fat Joe Photo: MTV News When it comes to MTV's "Hottest MCs in the Game" debate there are no shortage of opinions. Whether through social media or in more intimate social circles like the barbershop , seemingly everyone wants to weigh in and pick rap's #1 MC. Fat Joe, though a successful rapper himself is a fan first, and when it comes to picking the hottest, he has trouble narrowing down his decision to just one. "I heard a rumor someone told me Lil Wayne ain't on the list," Joe told MTV News during a January interview. "I said, 'They sniff heron over there.' I'm like, 'That's Lil Wayne, man.' " Well Joe Crack will have to wait until the February 19 airing of "Hottest MCs in the Game VII" on MTV2 to find out whether or not Weezy made the cut, but that didn't stop him from adding his two cents to the debate. After rattling off Jay-Z, Kanye West, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" as deserving spot holders on the top 10 list, the Terror Squad leader got visibly torn when debating with himself about Drake. "The reason why I wouldn't say Drake [is] #1 — because Drake really is #1 to be honest with you, but the singing and all that," Joe said about the Young Money star. Since he broke out with 2009's So Far Gone, Drizzy has proven to be equally adept at spitting rap bars and singing harmonies. His skills have made him a complete artist and on his latest album, Take Care, Drake masters the balancing act with tracks that seamlessly blend hip-hop and R&B. Joe compares Drizzy's range with Kanye West's 2008 auto-tuned album 808s & Heartbreak. However, when Yeezy is in strict rap mode, Fat Joe admits to being 'Ye's #1 fan. "Same thing with Drake, I love his music, I listen to it all the time, but if you would get his music and get someone else who's just as talented as him who use them beats and is goin' crazy like that, then I would pick them," he said. "I love the singing, but when it's 50 percent singing and 50 percent rap, then I'll take a rap album over any," he continued before finally deciding on his pick for "Hottest MC" — sort of. "For instance, I'll probably just say Rick Ross and I probably bump Drake even more, but I want that ... yeah I need that boom bap." Tune in to MTV2 on Sunday, February 19, at 10 p.m. ET to catch "MTV2 Presents: Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts," then watch "Hottest MCs in the Game VII" immediately after at 10:30 p.m. ET before capping the night off with "Sucker Free Certified" at 11 p.m. ET.
