Like many tother things, I have always been fascinated by deejaying, especially Hip-Hop, so I was really eager to check it out. If I’m not mistaken, I saw it in France when my brother or my brother-in-law brought this dvd. I have noticed that nowadays that most of the deejays don’t use vinyls anymore but some modern cd players which look rather pratical but call me old-fashioned but they definitely don’t have the same style and charisma. Futhermore, it seems that the art of deejaying is not so popular as it used to be. Anyway, back to our main feature, basically, it is a pretty straightforward history of the Art of Hip-Hop deejaying and I thought it was a really neat to see all those famous djs (Afrika Bambaataa, Grand Master Flash, DJ Qbert, DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Mix Master Mike, DJ Premier) and it gave the whole thing a really genuine feeling. The main issue I had is that the directing was not really inspired. I mean, it was quite interesting but it was purely informative and it was pretty much like watching National Geographic. On top of that, I already knew about 80% of what said so that didn’t help either. To conclude, even though it wasn’t really an amazing flick, it was still a really solid and interesting documentary and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested by the subject.
