    By far one of the greatest Hip Hop documentaries ever created! Saw it at the African American Film Festival in Lemeirt Park and loved it ever since. I shows L.A.'s world famous "Project Blowed" back when it was hella dope and many Emcees from around the nation. Gives a good insider view without the Glamoure and Glitz of what the general public thinks they know about the Hip Hop culture!

    Just as Scratch was the authoritative documentary on the DJ element of Hip-Hop and Style Wars represented graffiti artists, Freestyle is the MC counterpart.

    The first full movie that I've seen on YouTube! It's a very good and thoughtful overview of what makes freestyle rhyming a true artform. Has some good footage of battles, flow sessions, and cyphers, and gives an interesting history as to how it all started. It doesn't really offer any new insight into technique, it's more of a history and overview targeted mostly at people who don't really know what freestyle rhyming is. I selfishly would have liked to see more footage of well-known artists back in their freestyle days, just because it would have held my attention better. But it does show some great sessions from MC Juice, Mos Def, and others. Check it out, the whole documentary is on YouTube.
