Most Awesome Hip Hop Documentaries

2. Dave Chappelle’s Block Party (2006)

Director: Michel Gondry

This one is a particular treat for hip hop fans, as it follows Dave Chappelle around while he puts together his dream concert, in the style of an old school 1970’s block party. The film switches back and forth between the concert and its preparation, but the real magic definitely happens on stage: Erykah Badu, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, The Roots, The Fugees and a very young Kanye West all showcase their talents, making Dave Chappelle one very happy man.
