Ratings and reviews

One of the Best Hip Hop Story's ever told. As a Long Term Fan, it was eye opening experience to see the highs and lows of a group that help shaped the future of Rap.

Great inside look into the legendary group that brought so many people, myself included, to appreciate hip hop culture and rap music. Always had a soft spot for Pfife Dawg's lyrics. Great to see what he was like in the flesh. Good job Mike Rapaport and crew. R.I.P. 5 Footer.

Glad I Finally Got A Chance To Watch This... Probably one of the best Documentaries on a Hip-Hop Group ever, it's a fascinating look at one of Hip-Hop's Innovative 'Tribes', made even more special after the passing of Malik 'Phife Dawg'. A Definite Must Watch for any fan, student or even Artist of Hip-Hop History.
