The Austin Chronicle Five Sides of a Coin By Darcie Stevens March 12, 2004 D: Paul Kell; with Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Gil Scott-Heron, Biz Markie, Michael Franti, Jurassic 5, Mix Master Mike. (70 min., DV) "The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple," begins Paul Kell's ambitious tale of hip-hop. Starting in the Bronx, first-time filmmaker Kell wades through the effects hip-hop has had on the entire world; the graffiti and dancing; the MCs, DJs, and beatboxers behind the tracks; and concerns with where hip-hop is going and what this country's youth is learning from it. Five Sides sets out to prove that hip-hop is in the bloodstream of America, and through interviews with members of the Universal Zulu Nation, the Rock Steady Crew, and throngs of scratchin' DJs, Kell drops the hip-hop science on the masses.
