Street Cinema is the only album by the American hip hop groupSporty Thievz.
Street Cinema was released on August 18, 1998, throughRuffhouse Records and was co-produced bySki and Sporty Thievz member King Kirk. The album was one of the final to be released through Ruffhouse, as the label was shut down less than a year later.
Chart-wise, the album did not make much of an impact, only making it to 66 on theTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and 16 on theTop Heatseekers. The album's lead single, however, did. "No Pigeons" peaked at #12 on theBillboard Hot 100, giving the group their only top 40 hit during their brief existence, as well as #1 on theHot Rap Singles. In addition to "No Pigeons", "Cheapskate" and its remix also became minor hits on the Billboard charts.[1]
"No Pigeons" was certified gold by the RIAA on July 9, 1999, for sales of over 500,000 copies.

AllMusic gave the album three out of a possible five stars, writing that "there's too much junk floating around the album to make the good stuff instantly recognizable... Still, that handful of good cuts makes the entire enterprise worth investigating once, even if you find that you won't return to thisStreet Cinema that often."[2]
