Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This captures the hyphy movement at its commercial peak before 'Tell Me When to Go' went national—making it a crucial document of pre-mainstream Bay Area rap.
Thizz Entertainment was founded by Mac Dre, and 'thizz' itself is slang for ecstasy—yet the documentary barely addresses the drug culture explicitly tied to the movement's party image.
