"May the Lord Watch is the definitive story (1:40:06) of Little Brother, the North Carolina rap group composed of rappers Phonte, Big Pooh, and (formerly) producer 9th Wonder, the underground legends that bridged the gap between The Roots and Kendrick, Tribe and Cole, De La and Drake. The film follows the rise, breakup, and reunion of the preeminent 2000s rap group"

Cool! I don't listen to a lot of hip hop, but every once in a while I stumble upon a group that I connect with.

Point is I've been listening to Little Brother for years. I'll see if I can find time in the next few days to watch this.

I’ve watched about 45 minutes and this is a phenomenal documentary. Thanks for posting it, cashman!

No problem! I had no idea how big of a fan Questlove was/is. Also for all the groups over the years who have broken up while I sat around bemoaning it, this is truly the first time I really understood how things just happen, and you wind up broken up. And you learn how people's personalities mesh or don't, and how one thing leads to another thing and the moving parts that keep everything running can so easily spin apart.

Oh wow thank you for posting this! Brings back memories. Going to watch this over the weekend.
Pretty sure I found them on Oink if anyone remembers that. I had Connected in rotation for way too long.
