The MC

April 8th, 2005 | DVD Release | Author: Albert McCluster III

Imagine Cab Calloway doing Hi-De-Hi-Ho...I mean rockin' white people in spots where he couldn't even go through the front door...but, for a minute, he made them forget their ethnicity...he was an MC and that's Hip Hop. An MC moves the crowd.

-KRS-One


Learn the history of the MC in Hip Hop from front man to the DJ to THE man on the mic. Hear the voices of the MCs from Hip Hop's golden past to 21st Century spitters.


This DVD gives all that is the definition of an MC...From the Hip-Hop filmmakers of BEEF, BEEF II, Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel, The Freshest Kids and Rhyme and Reason comes a passionate journey into the lives of the must legendary MC's of all time… Where they came from...What inspired them...The way they flow and how they fought their way to the top.


This DVD allows you yo watch Hip-Hop's most famous MC's perform live, freestyle - discuss racial and spiritual issues - and go behind the scenes as they deal with record labels, money and fame.

With rare archive interviews and performances by LL Cool J, Nas, Snoop, NWA, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool Herc, the Wu Tang AND a rare off the head spit with Tupac and Biggie...for this footage alone this DVD is a must have for the TRUE Hip Hop fan.
