For what it covered I thought this show was excellent. Like other reviewers this could have been so much more. It focused mainly on the music, the MC's and DJ's and only mentioned briefly the Break dancing and Graffiti which played such a big part in the scene.
Highlight was listening to Grandmaster Flash tell the story as one commentator put it "turned record decks into a musical instrument' and learning he is real geek/genius of the Hip Hop world. Also the story of how Def Jam records came about and why it took so long for the first record to actually be made.
For me there was one glaring omission and that was there was no mention of De La Soul and how they evolved Hip Hop in a new and different direction.
That said still well worth a watch and very informative.
