This takes me back. I caught this on TV years ago – it’s a Dutch film exploring rap music in 1986, and features Mr. Magic and the Juice Crew, Doug E. Fresh, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash and some ‘unsigned hype’. Comedy and vintage footage ensue.
“I look at the new rock ‘n rollers…it’s a shame what they did to it, and I hope that rap don’t go that same route – where they take the rawness away…just then make it too pretty! I don’t think rock ‘n roll was meant to be pretty. Rock was meant to be bad – just like rap” - Schoolly-D

Comment by cenzi 07.17.09 @I’ve seen this documentary so many times during the years and it’s still worth watching! I taped it on my VHS system back then but the quality is so poor now, gotta get me a DVD copy of this…
