    This movie is perfect to learn about the history and background of one of the elements of Hip-Hop...DJ. This really is enjoying to the audience like myself. Please watch it. With interviews with one of the biggest DJs in the world like DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike, X-Ecutioners and many more makes this movie the best Hip-Hop documentary around!

    It lays the groundwork for such collaborations by suggesting that all forms of music must come full circle before evolving into something new.

    A standard mix of performances, interviews, and gimmickry -- the image and sound sometimes loop or jump in a tiresomely literal attempt to translate the techniques of scratching and "beat juggling" into cinema.

    A loose-limbed documentary about the hip-hop D.J. scene that, for know-nothings like me, is highly informative without being in the least academic.
