Le film suit Lil Wayne avant et après la sortie de l'album Tha Carter III, dans la perspective du cinéma direct, sans aucune interview du rappeur. Bien que celui-ci ait donné son accord pour le film, il tenta d'en bloquer la sortie après avoir vu la première projection au festival du film de Sundance 2009. Cette réaction était due au fait qu'on l'y voit consommer de la marijuana et du sirop à la codéine en grandes quantités. En dépit de son action en justice, le film est sorti le 17 novembre 2009 aux États-Unis en DVD et au téléchargement. Il a atteint la tête des iTunes movie charts pour sa première semaine et le Huffington Post l'a appelé « un des cinq meilleurs documentaires de hip-hop de tous les temps ».

Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like The Beach Boys, The Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and The Monkees. Listening to rock and roll on jukeboxes and car radios created devoted fans of these groups, whose music communicated the optimism and sorrow of a generation contending with strong countercultural forces.

Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique analog Neve recording console and a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Kyuss, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days in 1969 until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog Neve console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606. Rupert Neve is an English engineer who founded Neve Electronics in 1961, designed and manufactured the Neve 8028, "one of four in the world", and is interviewed by Grohl in the film. Famous musicians who recorded at Sound City reunite at Studio 606 for a jam session and to make an album of "all-new all-original songs, each one composed and recorded exclusively for the film within its own 24-hour session on that console." It also shows album covers by some bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers's One Hot Minute, Nirvana's Incesticide and Nevermind, Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album and many others.
