Forget about 8 Mile, because now hip hop fans can nearly claim they were there to witness the rise of some of the biggest names in the game as Eminem, Juice, Dose One and more battle it out on the Scribble Jam stage in some of the hottest hip-hop battles ever captured on camera. The setting was Cincinnati, Ohio, and the event was Scribble Jam - a massive musical celebration staged to showcase the very best in hip-hop culture. With an abundance of amateur footage that was long-thought lost, this release brings together the entire Scribble Jam videos from 1997 though 1999 to offer a compelling and entertaining look at hip-hop history in the making.
