I had to watch a movie re: a culture other than your own for a class in graduate school a number of years ago. I chose to watch this movie during what was probably its only week in theatres. I was pleasantly surprised how informative it was and honestly went into the history of hip hop to explain how it affects gangs, east coast v. west coast, etc. This really is not just for blacks and those who think they are just going to watch a concert or hear a bunch of songs will be disappointed. From my point, I was pleased. I remember it this many years later.

Good movie on how some 90's rappers came up in the GAME. Wu-Tang,Jay-Z,Notorious B.I.G.,Tupac,Nas,Mater P,Mac 10,Ice Cube. ect.

Certainly can be used to educate the masses on the evolution of hip-hop. I'm saddened to see what it's become while corporations have killed the notion of reporting the issues we see in the streets and most/all people can relate to. Could have incorporated the role of women and not just used as eye-candy. When it comes to rappin about mothers, it's all good yet they can't say the same about other women on the streets. Such hypocrisy.

This one helped me get into poplocking cuz it has some great poplock footage in it. From here I got How To Do The Robot - Breakdance Instructional DVD and Top 20 Breakdance Moves on amazon and I learned how to dance like they do in this movie.

Great underrated documentary that helped inspire me to learn poplocking.

This documentary is awesome! Definately not some cheezy low budget film with old clips on the fine line of copyright violations. I owned the vhs and had to upgrade to the dvd!

It's weird that this documentary doesnt have any review, Its one of the BEST " HipHop " documentaries ever.I've watched it 6 years ago and until now , I havent seen any documentary that can get close to this one .KRS-ONE , Method-Man , Ice-T , Mc Eiht & others drop some good point of views about HipHop and its roots .Get this dvd or vhs as soon as its available.

And the reasons why rappers rhyme. Can be used to educate the masses on the foundation of the hip hop culture and where rap was ten years ago.
