Documenting the Golden Age of Hip-Hop

Filmmaker and journalist dream hampton’s (www.dreamhampt...) new documentary, “It Was All a Dream,” chronicles the “the golden age of Hip-Hop" in the early 1990’s. She talks with Audie about the film, which is made up of footage she shot in the 90’s that’s been in storage for 30 years: hanging out with Biggie Smalls in the studio, Lil’ Kim in the neighborhood, and interviews with a before-he-was famous Snoop Dog. Through her writing at publications like The Source, Vibe, Essence, and The Village Voice, dream became a critical activist voice - committed to the music and to the artists that she was constantly demanding more of.

my roots Lebert Evan Bailey jr The Roots that blends in with weeds only shines heavy with old knowledge from wisdom with old trees that shades bad light while still green and weaves mangling only good with tulips, a fresh smell of thoughts when knowing their right being the tree. This only now brings a Queen with knowledge to build with a king,, while right with fluent pronouncing of turning keys to door of wisdom speech... This only holds a good tree trunks with wide branches to spread light in life while shedding knowledge... (This make swallowing food for thought a genius)-#-

I remember when CNN was fair and relevant. It is neither anymore

Why are you saying they are conservative?

“The golden age of hip hop” is an obvious fallacy. That’s like saying, “the golden age of STD’s”
