i didnt really like it, there was some key stuff missing. where was premier? where was mention of illmatic? where was discussion of the MPC? amongst other things.. and all those video mash-up things were horribly unpleasant.
cool that something like this exists, anything that documents hip hop is a good thing in my book, but i dont think this was done well

I remember seeing this in A De La Soul press release a while back. I missed my local showing and forgot about it so thanks for putting it up. Really good film.
