I loved the subject matter and I don't mind the wobbly on-the-fly technique of the sit downs. Cool posters/flyers in the background. I also liked Dres's take on hip hop. Definitely documentary worthy. Nice quotes.

I might have liked more cuts in the performance footage. Someone suggested a second camera, but I think cutting to some close ups of audience members with Dres singing on top would have keep my brain hopping a bit more. Even cuts on beat might be cool. (Not MTV style though. I know it's not a music video).

All in all this is pretty good material in my opinion.
