Journalist Dream Hampton Mines Personal Footage of the Notorious B.I.G. and Snoop Dogg in Trailer for Tribeca Documentary ‘It Was All a Dream’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Dream Hampton uses personal footage of rappers the Notorious B.I.G., Q-Tip and Method Man for her documentary premiering at Tribeca Film Festival.

In the trailer, premiering exclusively on Variety, viewers get a sneak peek at the personal footage captured by Hampton on the frontlines of hip-hop in the early 1990s. As a staffer at The Source magazine, at the time considered the Bible of hip-hop, Hampton recorded her interactions with rappers including the Notorious B.I.G., Method Man, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Q-Tip, among many others, as they embarked on their generation-defining careers. Throughout the film, she hangs with Snoop, talks with Ice-T and visits West Village basketball courts where emcees held impromptu ciphers.
