Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme on Hulu. Would’ve been way more into this in 10th grade. Freestyling died when memorizing written verses and reciting them over beats at radio stations became freestyles. Couldn’t they just use a different term for that? Still, plenty of good clips in the movie. But the movie is like the guys at UW I used to see practicing Parkour—taking itself way too serious for something that should be at least a little bit lighthearted.
Update: I posted this before I watched it all. But if you check it out, make sure to skip to 53:00 and prepare for your mind to be blown. If I saw this in person at a club or something, I’d cheer and high five my friends for approximately an hour afterward. Actually, I’ll just embed it here.
