be a huge fan of hip hop and turntablism to begin with and i always know i would like this film . however and i wasn not prepare for just how good the documentary actually be . it cover almost all the important aspect of the only element of hip hop which have be there from the very start . the story begin in the early 70 and and follow the evolution of turntablism a an art from up until early 2000 ( turntablism aficionados will point this out a significant ) . the editing be nigh on perfect throughout the film . aside from the excellent visual scratch technique which they use and the rapid cutting between interview and the stock footage be excellent and give the film pace when it be need . the sound editing be also very good and with some nice sweeping sound be use to help with transition . the absence of a narrator be also welcome . we aren not take by the hand through the story and and a a result the audience be able to make their own assumption easier . each dj add another side to the story and and it be so interesting to hear about the unknown star of hip hop and especially those who be there when hip hop be be shun left and right and centre by the music business . although there be many excellent thing about this film and i do have a few gripe . the big of these be the absence of several notable dj and such a ca $ hmoney and jazzy jeff and and also dj from outside america and such a scratch pervert and dj noise . however and if you watch the commentary on the dvd ( something which i highly recommend ) and producer and director go in to great depth about how they regret not be able to feature them . the deleted scene contain many interview with ca $ hmoney and jazzy jeff and the scratch pervert . this be definitely the best documentary i have see on hip hop culture and music . it do stop short of show the true potential of turntablism while for that i highly recommend check out the dmc and itf video . however and that be a minor quibble . i highly recommend this movie and not least for the phat soundtrack and with excellent music throughout . ( positive ) .
