From books and TV shows to Bawno, we love pretty much everything that the ego trip crew does. Last month they presented the second installment of Under The Influence of ego trip, a monthly NYC film series co-curated by Andreas Vingaard and featuring a selection of carefully-chosen documentaries from the early hip-hop era, which are being screened at the Maysles Institute in Harlem.
The third and final screening is tomorrow night (Thursday, March 25) at 7:30 p.m., and it features two more rare-but-essential movies, Public Enemy and LL Cool J Live in Europe and Big Fun In The Big Town, as well as special guest appearances by Director Bram van Splunteren, rap legend Schoolly-D, and former Def Jam Records and Rush Productions Director of Publicity Bill Adler (who also makes a cameo in Big Fun). To find out why these two documentary gems are worth checking out, we asked the ego trip guys to break down each movie and explain why they chose to bring it to the people. See ego trip's take on each movie below...
