Documenting the history and art of freestyle rap, 'Freestyle' features the greatest names in hip-hop giving a Hip-Hop 101 in one of hip-hop's lost arts. With a collection of critically acclaimed emcees like The Roots & Mos Def, the mainstream icons like Notorious BIG & Tupac, and underground heroes like Supernatural, Craig-G, Jurassic 5 & Juice, 'Freestyle' hits all angles with this classic documentary exploring the ART OF RHYME. Explosively documenting the story of a group of underground hip-hop MCs & DJs from the early 1980s to the present day, Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme is a film that explores the world of improvisational rap -- the rarely recorded art form of rhyming spontaneously, or "off the top of the head." Made over the course of more than seven years, mostly with borrowed or stolen cameras by a co-operative of students, b-boys, DJs, and MCs know as The Center for Hip-Hop Education, Freestyle takes the viewer on a journey through the previously unexamined dimensions of hip-hop as a spiritual and community based art form. "A rousing education in an art form that is too often misunderstood." - The New York Times "The energy is contagious, the poetry inspired...The most lively and informative movie about hip-hop since WILDSTYLE." - The Village Voice "Awesome...Will literally leave you speechless." - Indiewire
