My Mic Sounds Nice Documentary



For a change BET actually did something worth watching and relevant. We really enjoyed seeing some of the pioneers(salt n pepa, mc lyte, yo-yo, roxanne shante) along with the now established/newcomers(missy elliot, medusa, nicki minaj, jean grae) be candid about their position in this culture from the very beginning to the present where their presence is vaguely seen but still ever so present in the industry. These women of Hip Hop have definitely represented thoroughly whether through lyrics, sexy image, or both. It was about an hour long which was not enough. Yet it opens up the door for further film pieces and discussion that tend to be an afterthought after the "REAL" Hip Hop MCs/issues have been debated over. Definitely hope there's more to come on the "Femcee" side of things.
