Trust me this is a must have for anybody whoever posted in this sub-forum. A very well documented DVD. Forget the average looking cover. This is the best, thorough hip-hop documentary I have ever seen. They go way back to the early, early southern rap forefathers. I promise you will have a greater appreciation and understanding of down south hip hop after viewing this. The level of research, documentation and interviews is on par with something from The History Channel.

//I can't believe it's so cheap at amazon.

sounds very good indeed... do they speak about the SPC at least? and what about the soundtrack? i saw the CD on Amazon...

I hear the sdtrk is extremely wack. I even think I have it around somewhere.

I'm not the aware of SPC except for K-Rino, so I can't say if any of the members are featured. But I do know I watch this DVD like twice a year, and I always see some obscure rapper of whom I just became aware of in the last 6 months. But as far as spotlighting them, thats a negative. When they go into the history of Houston they unfortunately only start with the OG Geto Boys & DJ Screw. I think Houston was the only city on the DVD that they didn't go all the way back. But for Atlanta, Memphis & Florida, they did a good job of showcasing the SPC counterparts of these cities/state.

thx boi, i just copped it on eBay for 6€ with shipping included!!!

How was it??
