That was such a good and accurate portrayal of working in an arts industry with lots of ups and downs. I have always loved hip-hop and it really made me quite nostalgic in the first half to be honest with all the good music, baggy fashion, the unforgettable vhs and records! It worked so well that it was filled with bits of his personal archive, as well as the graphics style and non-diegetic sounds, as they really helped in remembering the golden era of 90s. The little figures/ merch that everyone collected really unlocked a whole memory I didn't even know I had!
There were a few bits that there was no non-diegetic sounds which I wish there was a subtle hip-hop track behind just to keep the energy flowing equally and set the mood. Also, unless you are super into learning the ins and outs of music, highs and lows, for a music doc it felt a little bit long for me. Usually I don't mind a doc that is 2hour long if it's a crime for instance, but for a music doc/biography I think I would prefer it to be around an hour and 20 mins max personally. However, even though it felt long, I can certainly say that the whole thing was so well paced and divided into sections.
