[mattavocado]

When P.E.A.C.E. does the dirt and plant analogy, probably one of the best comparisons I've ever heard in my life.

[dvapr]

word

[oneswtwld]

who is gonna hear a fast rapper and think to themselves, "I wanna sound like that; I can do that even better... NO WAIT! I can't do that. Someone already did it... I have to be lame and not evolve."

[sistagrl74]

I am so happy to know that I was apart of this movement, cause it is a movement..the underground scene in L.A would have practically been non -existent if it wasn't for these cats. Thursday nights were my favorite night of the week. I knew I was going to kick it on Crenshaw and Exposition if I had to walk or take the bus I was gonna be there. The Good Life resides in my heart and so does Project Blowed... Ava and her crew did a damn good job capturing the true spirt of The Life. Peace

[proFlex23]

yo anyone know who did the beat in the beginning of the clip?



[CrowdPleeza]

@proFlex23

That's a sample of Get Up To Get Down by Brass Construction. It's been sampled by several rappers.

[SDCHARGERS619]

Dope documentary, but im suprised they didnt mention the Nonce.

[TheWestWord]

[Kaliformula]

Ab Rude FINALLY set the bittin' that Bone Thugs did on the table for the world to see. Bone was in the Good Life when Micah 9's Mary demo was going around. Way before their 1st album dropped. the 1st time i watched it was like THANK YOU.

[Sospiro1209]

bone is one of my favorite groups and my whole time watching this documentary before they even mentioned bone i already knew they were about to mention how they got their style from there

[Revolt714]

[dre1one]

I just saw this documentary this weekend....OFF THE CHAIN, Ya'll sleepin, alot of styles came from these cats, don't sleep...mad love

[bnddycl]

this documentary is quality

[kostefficient]

the light doesnt exist without the darkness

[ccsmbz]

true dat'

[krazy1luv]

By the way, some people may disagree with me but a lot of people will agree that if it wasn't for gangsta rap, a lot of lyrical, intellectual, spiritual artist, basically all of the hip hop artist mentioned in "this is the life" documentary would've made it or heard in the mainstream light. Does anyone agree?

[hiphophead21]

I was just talking to the wife about that a few days ago, I completely agree with you.

[krazy1luv]

I just saw this today and there's part when they talk about a rapper and that bone thugs n harmony might of got ideas or influenced from that certain rapper from the good life, any one know his name?

[dvapr]

myka nyne

[oneswtwld]

@dvapr hell no did they do that.... which rapper, what style?

[CrowdPleeza]

@krazy1luv

It may be difficult to pin point the origins of that fast rap style. Bone Thugs back in the 90's even had a beef with Twista from Chicago over who originated it. Maybe Myka 9 influenced Bone's technique with it? Anyway the idea of rapping fast goes back to the 80's.

Check out the rapper below in this clip on youtube. He uses a fast rap style and this was 1984:

Philadelphia hip hop & language

[TELLLIEVISION]

Hella sad I missed it on showtime last night...I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, or shit..Im about to rent it..

[dvapr]

that's wussup

[RighteousTalk]

a full band drummer, bass player, guitar, keyboards and a Dj. Much respect to Stet and what they did but that's why I said full band

[RighteousTalk]

Don't forget THE 1st emcee's to rock a full live band with a Dj The Righteous Family were from The Good Life too!!

[thirdshift47]

I thought that the first ones to do that was Stetsasonic with Dj Prince Paul.

[jammmessenger]

@RighteousTalk And the Underground Railroad was the Band !

[TiNoO007]

i just saw it today in @moeba in hollywood sheeeeeeeeit all u UNDERGROUND heads better watch this. it was made for ous. Great movie

[ratm1211]

Its coming to DVD on March 10!!!

[mikecee907]

Is the Good Life still around? I know Acey made his own spot Project Blowed.

[Akrid0ne]

Acey is just one of many mc's that call the blowed home, it's not really "his" spot.

project blowed is the "Afterlife" reffering to the good life cafe. The best hip hop WorldWide comes from the L.A underground all thanks to the good life Ben Caldwell and the Project Blowed. What's the Code!!!

[fukuandieyuppieskum]

been rockin mikes since they was 10 yrs old!

[ratm1211]

[fukuandieyuppieskum]

yo buddy, i live in the south ATL to be exact. me and my old lady are the only people we know who dig the whole underground movement. unfortunately, we can't make it. but if you would, maybe shoot some videos and upload them so me and my old lady can have a little church! or tell us who all showed up and showed out!

PROJECT BLIZNI IZKNOWED!

[ratm1211]

I'll see what I can do!

[thirdshift47]

I live in metro Atlanta,and myself and my boy God's Mouthpiece thought that we were the only Good Life devotees in the A,since we've been followinf that scene since '92.

[fukuandieyuppieskum]

93 for me. the year i started skateboarding. this music + skateboarding = ill lines for days kid!

i'll have to check out your homeboy. has he got any videos here?

also, have you heard ATL's underground scene, ATF records?

I went to a show at the Masquerade, and only paid $1.50 for some quality underground hip hop. (Psyche Origami, Intellekt & Dirty Digits, Collective Efforts)

[blackass51]

f.i.e. changed the whole language of hip hop in the goodlife

[thefreshreport]

FRESH Documentary!

[existence76]

Yeah this is a must see for anyone who appreciates art in general, I think it belongs in the same discussion with Style Wars, Wild Style and Scratch in authentic impact in framing cultural movements...

[alrockson]

I finally love the fact that someone did a documentary on the Goodlife. I use to drive up from San Diego to LA back in 1993 just to watch the explosive energy of the Lifers wreck the mics. It changed my life and made me a the creative person I am today in the design world and everything else I touch! Much love and Good Life will always be missed.

[UndrgndHead]

Does anyone know of any festivals in the L.A. area that this will be screened at?? I would love to see it on the big screen!!!

[UTCTV]

it screens twice in la this summer. once on july 31 at don't knock the rock. i think that's sold out. and again at the downtown la film festival in august.

[satatay23]

thursday july 31 at the silent movie theater on fairfax.

[6333]

awsome! can't wait to see this shit

[AlienNationRadio]

This is the Life is coming to the Bay Area!!!

[scotch13]

I was fortunate to attend several Goodlife sessions and it truely changed my entire angle on creativity.

[elegba]

[ratm1211]

Eve is taking it to different film festivals. IT will hopefully be out on DVD at the end of the year.

[bisoncharging]

[rudejade]

Congrads Eve! The flick was really dope!West Coast!!

[dexxxhunt]

[ratm1211]

This is the Life is straight up just a good movie. It has comedy, its entertaining, and it had its sad parts.

[thirdshift47]

One love to all the Gen X b-boys and girls.And one love to the sista Ava,one of the fiercest griots to ever wield a mic.

[ratm1211]

Hell yea. The lyrical content of FOS was some conscience stuff. Way ahead of their time and truly under rated. Dont get it twisted muh fuggas!

[STEPASAUR]

DAAMN!! I'm writin' to santa right now! (been a good boy too)

[sjerrick]
