The Film, 4 March 2008
10/10
Author: terarific from United States

This film should be viewed by all Hip Hop fans! Its exciting to take a trip down memory lane and see all the emcees shine. I loved it. Its fun, entertaining and represents the birth a a true Hip Hop movement! All the Project Blowed favorites are featured in the film! If you get the chance, check it out! It will be showcased at film festivals all across the country and hopefully become a widespread "must see". The film is one of substance. Educate yourself on the history of this generation of young emcees who went against the gangster rap fad and stepped the game up tremendously; paving the way for more conscious Hip Hop. This film is a tribute to them. You will be able to meet these emcees and experience the art of their music.
