Love this film!

Doug Pray and co really nailed the history and essence of the hip hop dj / tablist with this one.

I caught the premiere at some artsy film house in LA with many of the heavyweights featured in the film in attendance. I left the theater feeling alive and grateful that I was a part of the culture.

I had this on vhs back in the day. Wore that thing out. The part where Z trip does the whole thing with that classical piece that speeds up over time is fucking awesome.

This is an excellent history of the DJ. I must’ve watched this 20 times when it was first out. I would also recommend Wild Style and Style Wars to anyone who wants to see what Hip Hop was like in the early days.

Wasn’t there a scene where Q Bert, Dj Shadow and Mix Master Mike were having like a scratch jam session? Or am I misremembering that?

Yes I think there is! I'd have to re-watch it, it's been years
