Overachieving California teens start to cheat, steal, sell drugs and worse. Director Justin Lin's striking debut film has a twist: This time the kids are Asian-Americans. But Lin isn't a gimmick baby. He flips stereotypes and finds cultural conflicts festering. Parry Shen shines as Ben, the high school nerd who's into SATs, sports and lusting for Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), who itches only for rich-kid Steve (John Cho). It's his friend Daric (Roger Fan) who gets Ben into selling cheat sheets. Then their crimes escalate. Soon Ben, Daric and their pal Virgil (Jason Tobin) — the school's Chinese mafia — are in too deep. Lin is a talent to watch. There's a sting to this film that gets to you.

“My President”

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
