The Show (1995)

This spirited documentary examines the world of rap music using both interviews and performance footage of many popular rappers at a Philadelphia concert. The singers address many aspects of their music and lifestyle including the apparent connection between rap performers and crime the differences between East Coast and West Coast rap the rampant use of marijuana amongst rappers the genre's popularity and its influence outside the Black and Latino communities and the disdain "old school" rappers have toward the current more hardcore crop. In addition the film often goes behind-the-scenes showing rap performers at work and play.System Requirements:Running Time 93 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

No Show

Boring and not much insight. Just a rap film, nothing about the true culture of hip-hop. Some decent preformances, but if you want to really get the real, check out Rhyme & Reason. September 13, 2000
