In real life, watching white people act black is painful. White guys wearing FUBU are even worse. However, watching agonizingly bad, 25-30 year old white actors pretend to be white high schoolers pretending to be black is the worst. A mite harsh? You decide. Flip Dog (Danny Hoch) and his posse of Iowa farmboy friends James and Trevor (Dash Mihok and Mark Webber) traipse around the cornfields, tagging barns, talking like white versions of Dr. Dre with considerably less soul and rhythm, while selling a white powder concoction that they market as cocaine because their buyers don't know the difference between it and the real deal. Flip Dog then decides it would be a good idea to drive to Chicago with his crew, go to Cabrini Green and score some real drugs to sell. Arriving in a pickup truck with Iowa plates, Flip Dog is surprised to find that the residents of the projects aren't greeting him with open arms. This was painful like a kick in the face with a golf shoe.
