Trailer: Two Turntables and A Microphone (2008)

October 30, 2002 is still a day that lives in infamy for one of the groups that has greatly influenced us here at The Scenestar growing up. That's when the legendary hip-hop DJ Jason Mizell AKA Jam Master Jay of Run DMC was gunned down in his Queens studio in the Fall of 2002. The world lost a great artist and the 2008 film 2 Turntables and A Microphone explores the facts and circumstances surrounding the investigation of the unsolved murder of Jam Master Jay. The film delves into why the security tapes from the studio mysteriously disappear, the five witnesses that were uncooperative and why no one is talking about the cloudy details behind the murder while going into the history of hip-hop and mainstream rap along the way. The film also has some great in-depth interviews with some of hip hop's biggest names. 2 Turntables and A Microphone will be available on DVD this Tuesday, December 1st.
