    We need more hip hop documentaries. There used to be one every year back in the day. At least we got D-Nice holding us down with the mini-docs.

    The 5 Minutes Classic. Can I Live is still my favourite Jay track.

    The is the essence of hip-hop—> Making something out of nothing. The though process of an artist. Trial and error. Pure happenstance. Then the evolution of a new wave! Classic shit right here. Love to see docs like these. JD has enough vids similar to this…too much is excessive. Excessiveness kills quality.

    REAL HIP HOP
    This is what we need to get back to. Music making, not JUST hit making (something with a Catchy hook and AUTOTUNES)
    JD you ever thought about messin wit those NEKO boards man??? Those things are CRAZY!!
    Im sure your’re up on it though. It’s perfect for the way that you like to sample, and tweek your own sounds.
    This video is the truth though…REAL HIP HOP

    That’s crazy how people can just be so talented and blessed.
    Over 13 albums counting Best of Both worlds and still hot.

    @Gena> if you don’t care for Jay, then why in the fucl make a comment?
    That’s a waste of your energy and my reading. On to the next.
