Freestyle - The Art of Rhyme DVD Tupac Shakur Mos Def Scratch

Freestyle - The Art of Rhyme DVD 2005 Palm Pictures Tupac Shakur Mos Def Directed by Kevin Fitzgerald Freestyle makes for the ideal double-bill with Scratch, Doug Pray's fine film about the art of the DJ. Kevin Fitzgerald looks instead at the MC, specifically those who make their rhymes up on the spot, like a slam poet or jazz vocalist adding new flavor to an old standard. Unlike Scratch or The Freshest Kids, an exploration of b-boy culture, Freestyle doesn't explain or trace the history of a form as much as celebrate it. In other words, the focus is more on the practitioners of the present, despite some valuable commentary from Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan Biggie Smalls (the Notorious B.I.G.) cutting loose in Bed-Stuy. Tested and works well, almost no shelf wear to clamshell, in excellent condition. Follow me for more rare and unusual titles! Thanks for looking!
