Kid is now in college, backed by a scholarship provided by his community, which has rallied around him following the untimely death of Pops. But that scholarship and his status as a student is in jeopardy, can he and Play save the day with a Pajama Jammie Jam?!

Topics discussed:

2️⃣ This sequel doesn't reach the bar set by the original, but it did give us the Pajama Jammie Jam.

🪦 The absence of John Witherspoon and the late Robin Harris (other than for flashbacks) leave a huge void in this film.

🎤 Queen Latifah brings a conscious element and shows off her rapping chops as Zora.

🕺🏻 Kid N Play's dancing and rapping are on display yet again, but we were left wanting more.

💿 The movie's soundtrack features some great old school classics, many of which aren't on the soundtrack album.
