I love hip-hop. I love MCs who can weave words together effortlessly and spontaneously. A few of the best Freestyle MCs of all time are in this film, including Supernatural, Juice, Mos Def, Black Thought, Biggie Smalls, etc. This was my first introduction to Supernational and Juice. They both have a gift of spitting mind-blowing rhymes without any preparation - the epitome of a great Freestyle MC. The documentary showcases their rhyming prowess and takes the audience through a freestyle 101 lesson from the origin of rhyming to the underground cyphers of the 1990s. The film does a good job of conveying the energy and creativity that exudes from any cypher or MC battle. Makes me miss the music of the 1990s, too. Rating - Get on Hulu and watch, if you love hip-hop.
