    Here's my take as a huge Dekay / Don't Flop Fan

    I originally bought this movie on Amazon because I've followed Dekay through the years as a rap battler / musician.

    While I wish they had used more footage with her, I felt like it was a nice mix of the best battle rappers from the Don't Flop scene at its peak. I am not from the UK, so I watched online but it would have been nice to see it back in its heyday.

    This documentary is the closest thing to that. It's really well done and it offers insight into that scene and shows a lot of the "behind the scenes" stuff that you never get to see.

    If you are a fan of battle rap / underground rap this documentary is a fantastic look into that world.
