Beat street - The best all nearby hip movie, period. Unlike other Dvd releases in this list, Beat street successfully displayed the four elements: Rappers, Djs, B-Boys and Graffiti. This is the Holy Grail of movies, and one of my favorites.

Boyz In The Hood - Ok, so technically this isn't a true hip hop Dvd release, but with Ice Cube as a important man, it counts. Cuba Gooding Jr's role is dead on, and director John Singleton turned in his best effort with this hard edge, gritty urban drama about getting out of a bad situation with the gifts you were given. While not my beloved on this list, it is possibly the best film overall, in terms of writing, acting and directing.

8 Mile - Freestyle battles used to draw dozens of population in most places. After this movie came out, those same battles drew hundreds and brought a new level of respect for freestyle Mcs. The story of B. Rabbit (Eminem) fighting for his dream of rap success is a lot better than most critics give it credit for. Sure, the final battle scene seemed a bit contrived, but overall, you cannot deny the definite impact this had on hip hop in general.

Juice - Tupac's best acting performance, hands down. His character Bishop was scarier than any guy in Boyz In The Hood (which is saying a lot). Many would argue that Poetic Justice was his best film, but Juice actually hit home with me as a solid, well crafted story of growing up in the ghetto.

These hip hop Dvd releases are among the best I've seen for their portrayal of hip hop in its purest form.
