Informative, 2008-07-28
The documentary was very informative and did a great job at displaying the roots of hip hop and deciphering the difference between hip hop and rap. I have a new found respect for the turntablists in the game. Beastie Boys have impressed me much more after taking the time to listen to the layers behind their clever lyrics and listen to the scratching being done by mix master Mike.

WELL DONE, 2008-02-08
I saw this movie once and I knew I had to own it. It is a very clear and sequenced movie about the art of Hip Hop and turntables. I love this culture. I think anyone and everyone can enjoy the catchy beats and styled rhythms that make this movie more fascinating. It has a good flow as well, it is not a quick watch but after you see it a couple times through, I will play it in the background because of the music. It was well produced and that is why I say Well Done.

VERY INTERESTING DVD, 2007-10-24
I really liked this DVD. The world of the scratch DJ opened my eyes. Most people don't know much about the scratch DJ, but it's definitely a legitimate art form. Loved the interview and profile with DJ Qbert. I'm a little biased cause I've known him since middle school. Hehe. But honestly, this DVD is really interesting. A lot I didn't know. Check it out yourself.

Great, interesting, but not completely comprehensive, 2007-06-10
I would have liked to see this be more up to date, and a bit more comprehensive. The DVD case lists DJ Krush (whom I am a fan of) as one of the DJ's featured, but it only very quickly just shows him and mentions his name which I thought was a bit cheap. The piece on DJ Shadow was interesting. I like the different aspects the movie covers: technical, social, history, as well as a taste of some of the personalities. br / br /DVD extras are interesting. Particularly some of the instructional how-to stuff. Almost makes me want to get some equipment and try it!

Absolutely Essential!, 2007-02-07
Goes down in my favorite hip-hop videos of all time. br / br /My favorites are this, breakin, breakin 2, and freshest kids. br / br /This actually helped lead me into breakdancing. From there I got How To Do The Robot - Breakdance Instructional DVD or Top 20 Breakdance Moves. These ones turned me from a hip-hop spectator into a serious breakdancer. br / br /All of these are essential!
