Equipped with a breakneck pace and a grimy visual aesthetic, “All the Streets Are Silent,” a streetwise documentary entrenched in the convergence between hip-hop culture and the skateboard scene in New York City during the late 80s and early 90s, swelters with an indisputable passion for its subject matter, but lacks a much-needed edge to accompany its information-heavy, insider-focused disposition. The 25 Best Music Documentaries Of The 21st Century So Far With director/editor Jeremy Elkin working behind the boards, ‘Streets’ features an eclectic assemblage of talking heads, ranging from hip-hop legends (including Kid Capri and Darryl McDaniels) to skateboard royalty (i.e., Jefferson Pang and Mike Hernandez).
