Injustice begets a criminal. Kool is an artist without prospects, a black belt in karate, and in love with LaShawna, poised and college bound. One night she witnesses a stabbing and discovers the victim is a cop as he dies in her arms. She's jailed for murder by the infamous Ramparts Division of the LAPD. Kool wants to prove her innocence, and Tully, the cynical detective in charge, ignores LaShawna's case but uses Kool to break up an incipient crime operation. She's in danger because the guilty parties fear that the officer talked before he died. While in jail awaiting a hearing and legal help, she's beaten to death by a rogue cop. Kool vows revenge: the Hot Boyz are born.

It's not "good" but it's entertaining, a No Limit Film (if you were into rap music in the late 90's you know about No Limit Records).
Silkk The Shocker is a pretty terrible actor and he's got the lead but that is part of the what makes it entertaining.
Inspired by Scarface, Carlito's Way and those type of movies (albeit of course of lower quality).
Snoop Dogg and Master P are more background actors in this.
