If you like hip hop at all then I highly recommend you check out Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives. It's on Netflix now.

It's about a hip hop radio show from the 90s that was run out of Columbia University. It was by far the greatest hip hop radio show of all time and it's not even close. They had everyone you can think of before they were signed rappers. Biggie, Jay Z, Nas, Big L, Big Pun, Wu Tang Clan, Mos Def, etc. Pretty much anyone that was in rap in the 90s came through their show if they wanted to blow up. Cypress Hill said if it wasn't for their show and NY DJ's they never would have gotten as big as they did.
The catch with the show and which made it something that us fans felt made it our own was that it wasn't easy to listen to. It was on from 1am to 5am on Thursday nights. I was in H.S. when the show was on and I'd stay up until 5am, sometimes 6am because they ran long, listening or taping every show. I'd fall asleep sometimes and miss the chance to flip the tape. :-) School on Friday was terrible. I was zombie the whole day and fell asleep in so many classes. But it was so worth it.
If you love hip hop I think you'll love the movie.
