Rap Phenomenon
In many cases, there are a lot of documentaries out there that are like greatest hits CDs regurgitating what we've heard before, or in the case of film documentary, what we've been told and shown before. With Rap Phenomenon, I enjoyed some aspects of the film and seeing old clips of Biggie perform, learning more about his camp, specifically D-Roc, and hearing about the microphone master from some of his closest Hip Hop associates. For fans of Big, check this out. It isn't something I'd collect, but it's one to view. Available on DVD through Netflix.
The film is not rated. Recommended for those that have a vested interest in the life of Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. Not recommended if you're concerned with language censorship and other contents that reference drug use, violence, or sexual content.
Along with films that are available at local libraries, or obtained through a partnership with Hip Hop Alumni, the Hip Hop Stacks blog will also link visitors to films available through other archives such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or that are posted on YouTube for free viewing.
