From the Urban Dictionary: Trappin: The act of dealing or selling illegal drugs for the accumulation of wealth. Drug dealers often partake in “Trappin.” The word originates from Atlanta. "I was trappin' on the corner when the 5o rolled up" or "He is trappin' at the party and making a killing." Midnight Black is an Atlanta record producer who has worked with Young Jeezy, 8Ball & MJG, Greg Street and others. He wrote and did the music for this. Director and co-writer Lisa Maydwell also wrote Haunted Trail, a movie that was on the site a few weeks ago.  As for the story, it's about Granny Mae (Rita Kendall), who is about to lose her house to the bank, but her grandchildren 808 (Kadar Brown) and TR (Brian Loving) work to use their trappin' skills to save it. There's also a sex worker named Pretty Peach (Phyllis "Tank" Allen) who is scammed men out of money, a dude named Mooshie who is running all sorts of scams when he isn't getting the weird curl in the middle of his heap worked at in the barbershop, a Trap News TV crew with a British girl (Erica "Erica Duchess" Stinchomb) reporting on the goings on and actors named Mr. Fireball, Mr. Elmo, Crum and Trap Boi Hot who are all basically yelling at the camera.  Everything that can get called trap in this movie is. Like, there's trap milk. There's also an amazing scene when the tax bill comes in and it's just a piece of paper that has a handwritten note. "Tax bill. $10,000." You know how people looked down on Cheech & Chong and then ICP made movies and people saw what Cheech & Chong did as high art? This is kind of like the same thing. That said, everyone has high energy and really believes in what they are doing, even if it's stuff like a guy named Drum getting made fun of at a barbershop and then screwed over by a girl and then butt naked on the news.  There's a Bad Santa but I have no idea what Christmas has to do with this other than the fact that the grandmother is losing her home at the worst time of the year. This is not the worst Tubi Christmas movie that I have watched which really says something. As this movie would say, "Merry Trapmas."
