The Great Hip Hop Hoax (2013)

GET RICH OR TRY LYING Foul-mouthed Californian hip hop duo Silibil n' Brains were going to be massive. But no-one knew the pair were really amiable Scotsmen, with fake American accents and made up identities. This documentary tells the audacious tale of how two lads from Dundee duped the record industry and nearly destroyed themselves. When their promising Scottish rap act was branded 'the rapping Proclaimers' by a scornful record industry, friends Billy Boyd and Gavin Bain reinvented themselves as Los Angeles homeboys. The lie was their golden ticket to a record deal and a dream celebrity life. A stranger-than-fiction true account of fractured friendship, the pressure of living with lies and the legacy of faking everything in the desperate pursuit of fame. Truth, lies and the legacy of faking everything in the desperate pursuit of fame.

An important film to expose what idiots we have running the music industry in Britain. If ever proof was needed that the money men don't care about how good or bad the music is, it's just about the hype. It's good to see people turning the ridicule back on them for once. What's a bit sad is that they were forced into lying to be able to do what they love. Respect due for the intellegence of these lads for working out the formula though. The movie is a gripping documentary; you're always waiting for the bubble to burst or get a bit bigger.

The Great Hip Hop Hoax builds its story and has something to say about the music industry, even if, by the climax, it feels unexplosive.

Mike McCahill 04 Sep 2013

It's mostly a poppy, funny anecdote, if no advert for the music biz: Daniel Bedingfield emerges as one of its savvier souls.

Terry Staunton 05 Sep 2013

The film doesn't quite hit the mark as a hard-nosed exposé of a shallow, trend-led business, but it does work as a winsome study of the fickle nature of fame.

Nicola Balkind 01 Sep 2013

As the story progresses and Jackass moments proliferate, these deplorable characters and their elaborate and unrelatable egos become increasingly tiring.
