- Although carefully constructed rap songs have become a staple of the mainstream music scene, most freestyle rhyming remains undocumented, with a variety of talented rappers seeing their words floating off into thin air after they pass through their lips at the speed of a high-powered locomotive.

Movie Reviews of Freestyle - The Art of Rhyme
Movie Review: Well researched, comprehensive documentary on an aspect of Hip-Hop culture
Summary: 5 Stars
There are very few documentaries that compare to this one, and certainly one of the two (the other being 5 Sides of a Coin) that truley go indept into the art and purpose of this aspect in hip hop culture, remain visually and audio stimulating and keep all the excess jargon and rubbish out.
Interviews with some of Hip Hops most prolific and controversial members, both in mainstream and street/underground infamy show the more innocent, raw side of freestyling which is seldom seen. Moments such as interviews with supernatural, Otherwise and Craig G are examples of this.
I would probably suggest this for school teachers and parents who didnt get the chance to really grow up with hip hop or rap as such a pragmatic part of their lives and see where the roots of it come from, and to be able to distinguish the difference between freestyling in its truest form, and the commercial bullsh*it that comes out of corporate record labels.
Check the other doco i've listed for an overall view of hip hop as a culture, and not just simply a genre of music---> 5 Sides of a Coin
