      Audience Member Terribly produced with far too much lecturing by KRS (who remains nevertheless one of hip hops greatest). The movie offers no narrative or insight and plays more like someone blandly reading straight out of the encyclopedia great MCs. Check out the slightly better Art of Rap by Ice T instead. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting documentary. Talks about the root and history of Hip Hop, its pioneers and what it is as a culture and how the art suffering now. Points out the difference between what's real and fake, and explains the difference between an MC and a rapper. I recommend it to anybody interested in Hip Hop, this DVD provides very useful informations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
