LA Shows Its Hip Hop Roots In New Documentary


Remember back in the '90s when West Coast hip hop meant more than gangsta rap? Yeah, we do, too. That's why it's such a pleasure to see This Is The Life, a documentary exploring the roots of LA's freestyle scene in the '90s, currently making waves across numerous independent film festival circuits. Of course, Freestyle Fellowship is represented, as are Jurassic 5 and Cut Chemist. Directed and produced by Ava Du Vernay, The Good Life shines a light on this scene which had its roots in South Central Los Angeles' hip hop hot spot "The Good Life." Thus far, this film has been an official selection at The Black Lily Film Festival, and it will also be shown at film festivals in Atlanta, Martha's Vineyard, and others. For more info, be sure to check out the film's MySpace page. In the meantime, check out this clip of the film below.
