4 out of 5 stars Well..........2006-02-24

In spite of such a great effort, this documentary seriously slept on some chicano rap legends such as Kid Frost, DJ Ralph M, Tony G and Julio G. How come this people appear only in stills?
Anyway, when it comes to the new latin rap generation, it has some great moments, especially with Psycho Realm's Jacken, LSOB's ODM and and Rhyme Poetic Mafia's DJ Ace.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best documentaries around.......2005-09-21

This is one of the best Latin hip hop documentaries out there. It was one of the first to document the struggle of brown hip hop artists in the music industry, and it was the first to showcase the new generation of artists who are currently making noise (La Sinfonia, Los Tumbados, Conejo...). With this in mind, it is not difficult to realize that those behind this documentary knew the importance of this story/project. I won't say much about the story, but you have to see it for your self. The extra features such as the Kinto Sol & Los Tumbados music videos are a nice bonus. There is a ton of education and material in this DVD. Definetly worth its price. Get yourself a copy!

5 out of 5 stars Unheard Voices Exposed in GREAT Documentary!.......2005-07-29

I was skeptical at first but a Chicano Studies Professor at Arizona State University recommended it to me a while back. Finally, I viewed the film for myself and WOW, the best documentary I seen in some time. This is Xicano/Latin Hip Hop at it's finest. The music is dope, the interviews are mind blowing, tons of entertaining learning materials for musicians. The DVD is packed with extras gallore: More interviews, Kinto Sol and Los Tumbados Music Videos, Very dope Graffiti Poem called "Passion of Existence", Lowriders, Freestyles, and more. WOW!!! Can't wait for the UMD so I can take the film everywhere I go! I agree with the last reviewer, "This film is a Xicano Classic Film!" I recommend you BUY IT, no matter what race you are!

5 out of 5 stars A CLASSICK FILM!.......2005-07-19

What more can anyone say? I seen this movie at the Arclight Theatre in Hollywood, CA, and it blew my mind. As an aspiring MC, I learned tons about the biz, especially from Psycho Realm, Delinquent Habits, and ODM. From contracts to marketing, and much more! The movie also has interviews and freestyles from the now school of hip hop: Ill Fame, now known as La Sinfonia, Conejo, and Los Tumbados. Buy this film people, because we need more films from the likes of Safada Y Sano Production! The creditals for PASS THE MIC! speak for themselves: Voted #1 in Vibe, honored by American Film Institute, tons of reviews and screenings around the world y todo. Does anyone know if it will be released on UMD? Now that would be dope!

5 out of 5 stars WOW! A Great Film that surpasses expectations!.......2003-04-15

This movie is great! It's a real hip hop history lesson for any hip hop head. I loved the interviews, freestyles, and the music. I've already recommended this movie to all my college buddies. Their stories are so compelling, you are completely hooked. The DVD is worth it, and there are tremendous amount of bonus features. I love this film. BUY IT NOW!
