Depuis plus de vingt ans, le rap n'a cessé de prendre de l'ampleur : cette musique dont le grand public découvrit l'existence dès 1979 avec le tube de Sugarhill Gang Rappers' delight est devenu un genre majeur, infiltrant peu à peu les hit parades du monde entier et les habitudes vestimentaires de la jeune génération. Cependant, dans l'ombre des rappers occupant le devant de la scène musicale se trouvent les DJs. Ce documentaire, ponctué d'interviews d'Afrika Bambaataa et de GrandMixer DXT, retrace l'histoire de ces artistes, des années 70 à nos jours, et en particulier des experts du scratch, indissociable du phénomène hip-hop.
