We are back again with another Hip Hop documentary produced in 1997 called Rhyme and Reason about the growing power of Hip Hop music in popular media. This is an excellent candid video you should definitely watch for its backstage appeal. We have many big time players who spoke their minds and hearts about the music of the culture we all really love before the “glam rap” or “Hip Pop” era began. When this was filmed Tupac and Biggie were still alive, Master P was revealing New Orleans rap to the world, Redman and Method Man were joining forces, Eric Sermon was making mad beats, and nobody even heard a peep about a trendy word called “bling.” This was when real rappers and emcees were large and in charge even though there were suckers in that era, too!

The period of 1996 -1999 was actually the eve before commercial rap took over and brought imbalance. This was when there were still many independent and major independent recording labels around. Once the small businessman could no longer get a foothold in recording distribution for his own label, thanks to the majors, he either cashed in his chips or sold out to a larger entity. When those labels disappeared so did many underground artists and its unique spirit of individuality. Even rap groups disappeared or fell apart. Sometime after 2003, the commercial rap drones and clones began to surface and distort the perception of Hip Hop music and even its culture

For now lets peer into the looking glass twelve years earlier when everyone was making flow and were almost everyday household names. Maybe you will be able to see some of the seeds that were planted which created all of the weeds in Hip Hop music today. I recommend this raw documentary to be added to your DVD collection for Hip Hop culture. It is a timeless piece indeed so click on the poster below the video and get yourself a copy.
