It was shot in eight days time in the streets of New York City where the director and his four Dutch colleagues had hired some body guards for protection from local street gangs. <\/p>\n<p>They managed to interview several important pioneers of early Hip-Hop, including <strong>Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Doug E.
