Each track in the soundtrack seems carefully selected to not only complement the narrative of the film but also to highlight the skill and artistry that goes into creating rap music.

Robert Young

The lack of original music in the soundtrack was disappointing. Instead of featuring new and innovative tracks from the artists interviewed in the documentary, the soundtrack relied heavily on existing songs, which made it feel less authentic and engaging.
