Enjoyed it

I think Ice-T did a pretty good job with this movie and the audience I watched it with were certainly entertained, laughing in the right spots. It turned out to be really fun spending an evening with Ice-T and his chums.

I felt the ending was a little bit flat and the music for the end credits was a bit dull. The music from the trailer would've been better (Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think) or the track they did specially for this movie where they mention all the rappers names in the lyrics (v clever).

Dr Dre surprised me in this. He's very different to how I imagined him. Quite big and scary and very intelligent isn't he!!

Hats off to B-Real for mentioning the Beastie Boys and Ad-Rock being the first "nasal" rapper.

I found Q-Tip's segment a bit embarrassing. He was pretty bad at his freestyling!

The only embarrassing part about the q-tip segment was Ice-T acting like a full blown a$$hole to the public.

Best parts for me were Snoop Dogg's advice, and both the Cypress Hill guy and the chick with the big sounding voice talking about how they had to develop those "character voices" for their sound. Also I can't remember who said it but one guy was talking about how he wrote the lyrics down and performed em "stale", then sat on it for a while and came back to do it w/ more emotion. As a musician I was more interested in things like those, you know the creative process of each artist. As a result I really enjoyed most of this documentary, started out a bit slow for me but got real good in the middle.
