This movie is a Real, well-constructed, and emotion-provoking piece that deserves all of the accolades it flashed at the beginning. I just wanted to say that if you haven't seen the whole thing, FINISH IT because the ending is undeniably worth it.

Although I'm no rapper, DJ or bboy, I love the culture and this really opened my eyes to the myriad of God-status freestyle rappers whose names I've never previously heard mentioned. Thanks for putting this up! Also, 22:30 made my day. PMonch = God-Status.

I agree. I'm going to e-mail this documentary to a few friends. I enjoyed every minute. I would like to see Supernatural, Juice, Craig, Eminem, Mos-Def, Andre-3000, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dog in one big Cypher!

The Art is incredible and to see the Masters plying their craft was inspiring. If you are the least bit curious about hip-hop, watch this movie.
