LA Originals

Great Sunday afternoon documentary about the guy who tattooed loads of famous hip hop stars and took loads of great photos. Simple.

I grew up next to all of this art and style and while it's not my thing I appreciate the hell out of it. Especially what these 2 guys brought to it and how they brought it. I love art and these guys should be recognized. This was a fun, entertaining documentary whether you're into that lifestyle or not.

Very well put together. Highly recommended, regardless of whether you're into this genre or not!

Awesome watch and lots of detail. A must watch for entertainment seekers.

As someone who grew up on hip hop culture and specialises in arts I was really excited to see the roots of the LA scene. This movie had me glued to my seat for the first 20/30 minutes but after that I started to notice a lot of flaws. The progression of a timeline is very disorganised. They keep jumping from one time to another and then back to one from 4 stories ago. It's all over the place. It's also very celebrity soundbite oriented with half of the clips being reused over and over again. Like I get it: a bunch of famous rappers said Cartoon/Estevan is cool. I don't need to see the same clips on repeat every few minutes. Plenty other endlessly recycled material also.

It's a cool watch but it's not that deep and after 20/30 minutes you've pretty much seen the whole movie. Kind of disappointing.
