"A wide-ranging and first-class documentary" - The Daily News 10/04/04 "With its offhand interviews and distressed period film, 'And You Don't Stop' stands out among the crisp, heavily graphic offerings usually on MTV and VH1, and it does a more thorough job than any film of collating 30 years of history given by hip-hop's DJ's, MC's, rappers, critics and fans. It may be the first monograph on this subject to position hip-hop confidently and specifically in the history of American music without having to make elementary arguments about its value or its significance." - The New York Times 10/04/04 "Meticulously researched and reverently compiled, the five-hour documentary blends vintage and current interviews with clips of early block parties and b-boys, videos and scene-setting period footage... the common thread among the talking heads is honesty about and respect for rap music and hip-hop culture....examines the music's origins like it's digging into the causes of a war. It looks at the poverty and isolation that fed a growing disaffection among the South Bronx youth and the lack of resources and outlets for aggression that sent throngs into the streets." - The Hollywood Reporter 10/01/04 "A remarkable overview that is weighted carefully and accurately, full of fabulous grainy footage of the music's early days. Free of narration and ivory tower posturing... And You Don't Stop has a deserved air of authority." - Variety 10/04/04 "'And You Don't Stop' is the best documentary I have ever seen on the history of hiphop. Not only does it confirm that hiphop is American popular culture, is the dominant youth and urban culture of the past 30 years, but it acknowledges, respectfully, and with careful and insightful detail, both the major icons and the long-forgotten innovators of this incredible art form." - Kevin Powell "Run DMC, JMJ, LL... treated like royalty finally!!! The Power of the Beasties -- unbelievable! And my kids and their friends are plugged in to a forgotten past. Classic!" - Chuck D "Mind-blowing... Outstanding... It made me laugh and reflect! It showed me how God works with the despised, the underdogs, the hood! God Loves us! God roots for the underdogs!! Thank God I grew up in Hollis... We had a special life." - Rev. Run
