[Syre126]

Is Pugs Atoms and the Typical Cats in this video? They are a real good example of real Chicago HipHop. It just seems like you interviewed a bunch of gang bangers.

[ahachie]

More clueless rappers.... The industry is dead. This is not hip hop

[GOONOFTHEWORLD]

where is the whole documentary

[HipHopDocumentary]

@GOONOFTHEWORLD

You can purchase the double DVD through Amazon. Search "I Am Hip Hop" under movies and you'll find it. These are brand new factory sealed DVDS. It's just easier to ship through Amazon. 

[BitterLeef]

are there any female rappers showcased in this docu?

[HipHopDocumentary]

@BitterLeef

Yep.

[hiphopsupremedotcom]

Hip Hop= All the elements of our culture. No one was a b boy, a deejay, a graf writer.

This should be a general movie about Chicago "Urban" entertainers, NEVER Hip Hop no matter how much preaching.

[lilmob314]

chicago cant mess with the stl

[Misterobservation]

Lets be honest here Chicagoan or not, AWFUL DVD just awful. Cmon anyone here got a head on them. THIS IS CA CA, I saw about three black men, the rest all NIGGERS and some white boy thrown in for dramatic effect!!

[anguillalaw]

You piece of shit niggers.

I'm tracking your black asses down and capping you one by one.

[reeferbreath]

"i always new i wanted to do something with music" why dont u do something with yur life and get your G.E.D. This guy in the green shirt at 53 seconds into this vid looks like a retard on stage twitching, eat some food skinny, "gang niggas are angry, 7 out of 10 rappers are gang bangers" 7 out of 10 chicago rappers are dumbasses. this vid sucks balls, failed to portray chicago hip hop, song is dope tho

[eddiethepurpledolphi]

yea nigguhs wer at the basement! j4f n xmen crew! haha

[misu1988]

[1stGenRefugee]

peace to the land in-between.

[FadroMusic]

nice documentary here, you guys should ck out my music video i recently did, i'm a chicago artist, youtube: fadro chillin music video

[Proto69]

Nice joint bro.

[xdon3zx]

i am from the chi..... and i like the video, but the fuck near the end saying his clothes and his car and his girls are hip hop is a fuggin tard....thats not hip hop, thats that flashy ass bling bling puff daddy bullshit...hip hop is bout life, and if you banged and can tell a tale of past experiences fine, but we dont need another muh fuggah glorifying gangbangin, and unobtainable wealth....wrong fuckin message

[krackoverdose]

The "fuck at the end" is actually a well respected and talented artist from Chicago.. and what i got from what he was saying is that money, cars, hoes etc. all play a huge roll in hip hop. He said "Hip Hop is a way of Life" meaning it can really be interpreted to anything: gangbanging, drug dealing, skateboarding, smoking weed, or a bunch of retarded clowns dancing on stage.. whatever your daily life consists of, thats hip hop...

[yin1]

@xdon3zx dats right joe

[JUSTHERE4THEVIDS24]

@xdon3zx you obviously dont love hip hop enough to have that feeling hes talking about he never said flashy jewlery or said he was glorifying bangin i agree with what you sayin but i also believe you cant completely leave it out if you from chicago its apart of life here. its part of chicago culture and i definitley incorporating that in some form is a must.

[hyenergy1]

wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz up all you hip hop artist of chicago you niggas are the shit on this documentary of hip hop (i am hip hop) motha fuckas don't know what its all about untill they see this first bad assssssssss documentary of one of the wickedest cities in the motha fuckin country

[nesk1festar]

[ThaRealERAQ]

[rowejam072000]

[ActionJaxon519]

@ZenishOne you need to do your research...chicago is the motherland of gangs in the u.s....not a good thing

[PeppahGoMuZic]

Check out How I Expanded My City.....Nova Scotia style....Chi-Town Stand Up

[Chavias]

Thing about it is, labels hate to go to Chi Town for some some reason, so the music here is basiclly underground. But then again, chi-town got hella haters, like for real.

[TeddyP517]

Youtube 087 crazy

[CoqiDaPlayboy]

Go to myspace and look up Coqi Da Playboy. The hardest shit about to drop. Video comming January '10.

[Darkmessenger1000]

hip hop did not start on the corner it was the voice of the oppressed people and they bought it out of darkness with them.

[Jahrass7]

you erased that comment...ok cool famo

I've BEEN doing things for IL State for over 10 years, been featured on the Time Travel, JP Chill Show, Even Six Feet Under, played reggae/hop for years

I'm probably on youtube promoting matlock (who is in ur film)

Fact is, for all the talking I'm not "trying" to do ANYTHING

it's still the way it was in the old school to me

be urself do ur thing

the word "hate" has nothing to do with me

chill

[Jahrass7]

Chicago is dominated by thugs and gangsters

we have a hip hop scene but it's limited

I love IL State but I don't know what the intent was for this documentary

Bless

[PreAdidaz]

you can see a screening of this film this Sunday at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago at the Chicago United Film Fest!

[TheZebraman007]

CHICAGO is wutz raelly popin, fake ass mainstream can't handle the MIDWEST

[ChiTownInFo11]

""wuz gud. dis ya boi chitowninfo.. its straight crack check out ma songs on my page. leave comments tell how yall like it. killin da game at 15. reppin chitown hard. . tell me wat yall think. check out my other videos 2."""

[DjDestinyChicago]

[theprophetkato]

[Amozu]

[sims12345678]

[MrSpadecity]

[mieery]

ZRO wrecks on all these bitch ass chi town niggas

[BlackSpadesEnt]

Man it's Chicago's time in HIP-HOP right now L.A had it's time Cali had its time, Down South had it's time its Chicagos time the only problem wit Chicago is we don put on 4 one another like that like the Chicago Rap heavy weights don't put on or create labels 2 put on other Chicago artiest thats y when i get put on i got the recipe I knw imma put on for Chicago I hope Chicago helps put on 4 me because when Me and the Swagg Boyz make it CHICAGO makes it (Check Me Out Folks)

~Swagg Boyz~

~Sello~

[newCRE1]

this seems like its about RAP. Not HipHop...

[HipHopDocumentary]

(rolls eyes)

[zebudski]

It seems like you're about RAP, not hip hop....apparently

[CMCriminalMind]

damn they had no real Chicago rappers on here, nothing but downtown city wanna be gangsta and people that dont even associate with hip hop

Put some true Chicago shit on here bitch!

[HipHopDocumentary]

D.A. Smart ain't Chicago?

[CMCriminalMind]

Yeah, But I didnt see him on this. Was he on here?

[HipHopDocumentary]

Yessir. "Walk With Me" parts 1&2 were filmed as part of it & are included on the DVD. I interviewed 130+ cats for the documentary; they aren't all in the preview. I did the best I could & I think the documentary came out pretty tight. I realize that it only represents a small portion of the Chi but there's cats from all sides in there. This is a big city with a HUGE rap scene & no one documentary could ever hope to capture it all. Mad love to ALL the slept on hip hoppers in the Chi! One.

[CMCriminalMind]

Yeah yeah, You right, They cant capture all.Straight Staright

[Yungmidwest]

I see my dude got on his buck fifty hat

[mpearson82]

Is this still playing in any theatres in Chicago? If so, which ones?

[JUSTHERE4THEVIDS24]
