Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme
I think there's a best documentary for a certain element. Planet B-Boy was pretty dope to. I gotta see "Copyright Criminals" its a documentary about producers who sample and how the corporate world destroyed hip hop with the law suits with copyright infringement.
The Freshest Kids http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361638/a lot of good info about the history of 'b-boying'.
Quote from: rapsodie is a hip hop elitist on June 29, 2010, 02:10:56 AMFreestyle: The Art of RhymeIf I remember correctly Art of Rhyme was pretty dope for what it was, but I think it was a QD3 documentary and QD3 never likes to pay for the rights for any music so sometimes they use video gamish beats in the background of their documentaries, it kind of makes them come off a little cheap; but still they are all worth watching.
yeah Scratch is really well presented.
...I also was a big fan of Russel Simmons documentary The Show, which I think captured hip-hop at a time when the West Coast was on top and for 90's kids like me it was our golden era.
That doc is by Kevin Fitzgerald, who is a protege of Charlie Ahearn (and also my cousin's husband).
