      Audience Member This is a lost/timeless hiphop classic buddy cop film. Featuring cameos by Run DMC, Ice T, Busta Rhymes, KRS-One, Queen Latifah, Bernie Mac, Terrence Howard, Flavor Flav, Kriss Kross, Cypress Hill, Bill Bellamy, Fab 5 Freddy, Guru, Kid Capri, Melle MelI, Everlast, Bushwick Bill & more...really wish this film would see a legit hd digital port sometime soon, but I assume the studio behind the film doesn't enough dollar signs for a proper re-release any time soon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review darin c This was funnier than many give it credit for and is a who's who of the hip hop community at the time due to featuring many rapper cameos. It is often intentionally corny and one has to truly be a fan of Ed Lover and fat Dr Dre to enjoy this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 3 words, Fat Dr.Dre.

      Brian Tallerico UGO Rated: 1/5 Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times A lot of the humor, though, seems to spring from the personalities and relationships of Dr. Dre and Ed Lover themselves, who, like Cheech and Chong and Laurel and Hardy and the teams mentioned in the movie, have an easy chemistry. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Louis Black Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Elvis Mitchell Spin As a movie, it's not much, but Who's the Man? rolls into a throwaway cool breeze, becoming a hip-hop version of one of those Hope and Crosby road movies. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Billing itself as the first hip-hop whodunit, Who's the Man? can be best appreciated by hardcore rap fans, who can chuckle at the sight of their idols in Harlem version of Around the World in Eighty Days.
