I wanted to share one of my favourite hiphop documentaries: Rhyme & Reason. The documentary is set in the mid-nineties, hiphop was growing rapidly and was about to enter the mainstream. The video is described as: "This movie came out on the tail end of the Hip Hop Golden era". This movie covers many aspects of the hiphop culture such as: DJ-ing, breakdancing and MC-ing. Many hiphop-legends share their views like: KRS-One, Chuck D, Heavy D, Ice-T and Dr. Dre. There's a segment in it about the 'Jack the Rapper' festival where many hiphopartists come together to network, talk, discuss, party and smoke weed. It's my favourite part cause for some reason I feel this is no longer possible this day in age. I mean if I watch the 'Beef' docu's 1 through 4, I see two nobodies without skills nagging, bitching and acting tough to each other. Their sole qualification to be part of hiphop is the fact that they have...beef. Who doesn't? Get over it and get back to or start making some...music.
The entire 90 minute video can be streamed from google video.
This is the url to the video:

It's really a must see if you love hiphop. Enjoy!!!
