This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen on anything bar none!!! It transcends Hip Hop which is kind of odd to say considering Hip Hop in itself transcends all i.e. culture, music, race, beefs. I so thoroughly enjoyed this movie that the first thing I did this morning is recommend it to a friend of mine who is a true Hip Hop Head.
This movie goes into the history of the craft of MC'ing, how it started, who started it, who changed it, the differences between an MC and a rapper (please believe there is a difference), keeping it real or not to keep it real or is using one's imagination out of bounds.
I had no idea what I was in for upon renting this movie at B/B, all I know is Rakim was on the front(still the greatest in my eyes) and it was about MC'ing. See this movie!!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. For anyone who doesn't about Hip-Hop or anyone who would like to learn more, this is it!
