It's in theaters since June 15. It's a bit shorter than 2 hours long.

Ice-T directed the documentary and he interviews many rappers throughout the film. It's all about the craft of hip hop, the lyrics, beats, rhyme schemes, etc (not about money, cars, clothes). I found it really interesting because I love hip hop music.


Eminem, Kanye West, KRS-One, Raekwon, Dr. Dre, Rakim, Nas, and more appear.

Ice-T goes from city to city interviewing these guys and asking them questions like "What mind state are you in when you create your best music?", or "What makes an emcee?", or "What advice would you give to someone who wants to be like you and who has the work ethic and passion that you do?". 


Questions like those + some funny moments.
