Ride (1998 film)

Ride 1998 is an American comedy film, written and directed by Millicent Shelton. The film stars Malik Yoba, Fredro Starr, and Melissa De Sousa. The film is sometimes confused with The Ride, another film released in 1998.

A soundtrack containing hip hop music was released on January 27, 1998 by Tommy Boy Records. It contained five charting singles, The Worst, Mourn You Til I Join You, Callin, Jam on It and The Weekend. Lael Loewenstein of Variety magazine describes the film as having a few genuinely funny bits of dialogue and some earnest performances that offset the predictable storyline. The review predicts the film will be popular with the target young urban audience, but with only slight chances of a crossover or international audience. Loewenstein notes that the script treads familiar roadmovie territory, but the film itself is technically well above average noting the effective costume, production design, and lensing. The acting is also judged to be adequate all around with a notable cameo from Snoop Dogg. ........
