This is the Life: hip hop documentary about the West Coast

I just saw Sole perform at a show in London Ontario with Thesis Sahib and DJ Gripski among others.

Speaking of Myka Nine though... (the above sentence and poster was the prelude...)

"THIS IS THE LIFE" is a documentary that focuses on the underground rappers (as well as dancers, event organizers, DJs, and audiences) that made up the Good Life cafe L.A. rap scene that began in the late 80s.


Here's some more Medusa and Myka Nine who are two of my favorite artists featured in the documentary...

Medusa


Myka Nine


B-boys that want to 'learn' how to freestyle just need to listen to some of that and it'll all start to come out...

Here's the b-boy connection for this blog entry: Medusa was featured dancing in the same music video as Jacob "Kujo" Lyons. In the clip below Kujo discusses his up and coming battle against Junior (from France), learning your own way in dance, having fun and longevity.
