EXPANDING THE HORIZONS, EXPANDING THE PARAMETERS, EXPANDING THE RHYMES OF SUCKER M.C. AMATEURS: There are two hip-hop concert films I'm looking forward to this season -- the Beastie Boys "Awesome, I F***in' Shot That!, a 2004 MSG concert indeed filmed by fifty random fans handed camcorders by the band, and Dave Chappelle's Block Party, a 2004 Bed-Stuy street concert notable because (a) it features Kanye West, the Roots and a reunited-for-the-first-time-since-1997 Fugees, and (b) it was directed by Michael Gondry, who did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I'm intrigued to see what he'll bring to the project.
