A+ on the overall effort. Takes a lot of guts to out yourself out there like this. Ignore the haters!
Great use of different locations. I liked the contrast of inside verses and outside nighttime refrain. Great for continuity of the story.
Lip syncing was actually pretty good. I could tell that the "singers" weren't just going through the motions.
Camera angles were great on the shots in the street, and getting out of the car. Provided an interesting visual engagement with the audience.
The girl in the street who seemed unsure of herself actually added to my enjoyment. I like that no one took themselves too seriously. Main dude was a obviously not a gangsta, and it was awesome!
Ways to improve:
Lighting. Try to make sure faces have enough light to be seen well, even if the background is dark.
I could nitpick the lyrics, but it's a school project so who cares! Good incorporation of necessary terms, maybe try to fit the rhythm and rhyme of the music a little closer?
I really can't think of much else. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Thanks for the tips. There were four students per project. One quit and the other got grounded day of filming so it left the two to create and edit the video. They had me film a portion but when I stood on the couch to get further away the couch flipped me over and the camera flew out of my hand and landed in my napkin box in the kitchen...I landed on my back like a turtle.
