Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme.

Amber and I met up with Max and John yesterday at the Jefferson Theater to check out Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme. It’s an hour-long documentary on the history of improvisational rap, tracing its origins and its impact on modern music. The audience really enjoyed it, and it was hard not to — the talent on display there was amazing. Mos Def and a couple of guys from Jurassic 5 were included in the film, which was cool, but it was the lesser-known talent that was really amazing. The Supernatural/Craig G battle was great to follow, and the soundtrack, put together by Cut Chemist, was perfect.

Fun, interesting, and enjoyable. Recommended.

Have you seen Big Fun in the Big Town (RealVid) yet? The Doug E Fresh & Grandmaster Flash segments are effing wonderful. The LL Cool J part is just funny. Go watch right now. No, really.
