I had a conversation with some friends not too long ago about movies from our younger days that now seem incredibly dated.  Documentaries have a great advantage here in that sometimes it’s great to capture an exact moment in time and look back and reminisce.

‘Rhyme and Reason’ was one of those docs that at the time I didn’t pay too much attention to; we were still in the middle of great hip hop being made and, as we now can see clearly, it was too early to see who would be recognized years later as the ‘crossover sensation’, who would be ‘the King’, who would be forgotten and who would be, well, dead.

I admit to being extremely biased toward this film since it was made during my phase as ‘DJ Apocalypse’.  It made me miss the days of having crates of vinyl taking up all my closet space.  Now of course I have all that music and more fitting into a pair of flash drives.  Technology…(shaking my head…)

Anyway looking back now, ‘Rhyme and Reason’ is a nice look back at hip hop culture at that specific time.
