Product Information
"If God had to choose one religion that best articulated his intentions, he would choose hip-hop. Aesop Rock is amongst the horde of hip-hop identities that dont mince their words in this phenomenal history lesson. Jazzy Jay, Kool Herc, De La Soul, Phase Too, Jurassic 5, Gil Scott Heron, Prince Paul, D.J. Spooky, Michael Franti, Jeru, KRS-One, Biz Markie, Cowboy, Q-Bert, Afrika Bambaataa, the X-Ecutioners, Grandmaster Flash and Rahzel are just a few on the crammed guest list who put their ten cents worth into Five Sides of a Coin. Director Paul Kell explores the five pillars of hip-hop: rap, turntablism, break-dancing, human beat-boxing and graffiti. Kell cuts his interview footage with classic and recent performances and archival photos taken throughout the evolution of hip-hop. The images flow as smooth as the beats theyre cut to, making for something like a live action magazine, or a hip as f*@k video textbook on hip-hop, written by the masters themselves. Five Sides of the Coin contains absolutely no artificial sweeteners or preservativesno commercial hogwash. This is the real sh!t.Film ThreatProduct Identifiers
