Reception

Reception to Estilo Hip-Hop has been generally positive. XXL Magazine described the film as "an antidote to the get-rich-quick schemes favored by many in modern hip-hop."[4] PopMatters awarded the documentary a 7/10 score and called it "sharp (and) engaging."[5]

gollark: I complained about that. It was ignored.
gollark: What's reverse engineering then? Ridgewingometry? ND experiments? Measuring what hatched when?
gollark: "Hacking and scripts"
gollark: If TJ09 were stupid, or there was misconfiguration, it would be.
gollark: If the EATW people somehow got DC's code for hatching handling, then that'd be bad, but deduction via observation being banned is too loose.
