Preaching to the choir, but that's no bad thing.

Little White Lies
Rating: 2/5 --
Achieves what it set out to do - to revaluate rap as an art form in its own right. However, it sadly fails to do so in an entertaining, visually-innovative or interesting manner.

A very enjoyable and often fascinating movie.

Guardian
What they don't talk about, on Ice-T's specific instructions, are the moral, social and psychological aspects of the art, and there's little on how rap relates to other forms of black music such as jazz, gospel or the blues.

Despite its relative shortcomings, the film is a must see for anybody like me who worships the golden era of hip-hop where the artists actually had something to say

Trespass
3 stars out of 5 -- There's a stack of great moments: KRS-One explaining rap-battling's genesis...Ice revealing what he does when he forgets lyrics during a show, Grandmaster Caz writing a rap on the spot.

There's no faulting the lyrical excellence on display. These guys are legends for a reason.
