10 years ago view-show 6,770,709

Documentaries are an educational tool; whether in the classroom or simply as a medium to inform on a specific subject of value. That being said many might, on the surface, find hip-hop a less likely candidate for the documentarian's focus.

And given hip-hop's modus operandi has as much to do with the visual aspect as it does with the auditory, putting the art form to film just makes sense. So without further ado, iHipHop decided on a list of the top 10 best hip-hop documentaries. Check it out after the jump.
