“It Was All a Dream” is a feature-length archival documentary by dream hampton. An NYU film student when she began shooting in 1993, hampton was already a provocative music journalist and critic with access to rap’s emerging superstars including her neighbor The Notorious BIG, Snoop, Mobb Dee and Method Man from Wu-Tang. “It Was All a Dream” takes its viewers inside the studio for the making of landmark albums by rap’s greatest voices. This thirty year old archive sat in storage for three decades and is a largely vérité journey. hampton’s narration added 30 years later is actually text from articles published in the early 90s.
