Brooklyn keeps on making it, Queens keeps on creating it, Manhattan keeps on faking it, and the Bronx keeps on taking it?

Hip-Hop heads all know BDP's infamous diss,"Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it Bronx keeps creating it, and Queens keeps on faking it." The following documentary "Founding Fathers: The Untold Story of Hip-Hop", on the surface, is a film about Brooklyn and Queens DJs refuting the Bronx's claim to fame as ground zero for Hip-Hop Culture. Despite the bravado and to be honest almost defensive vibe of the interviewees, this film is really a heartfelt piece about the love, friendship and ingenuity of early DJs and sound system crews that brought the communities of Brooklyn and Queens together for a few heady years in the early to late 70s. The film also, unwittingly, raises the question, why wasn't engineering established as one of the pillars/elements of Hip-Hop? The demand for more bass and ease of DJing pushed these early DJs to forward new forms of sound amplification and innovate technology that allowed to blend and mix with greater skill and precision. Lets hope this film reaches far and wide and helps assure the people in it a prominent place in the history of Hip-Hop.
