Про цей фільм

Visually luscious and drenched with the big beats of classic cuts and freestyle rhyming by some of the masters of the music, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING: THE ART OF RAP is a performance documentary about the runaway juggernaut that is Hip-Hop. At the wheel of this unstoppable beast is Ice-T, who takes us on a personal journey into the asphalt roots of the music that saved his life. This film is not about stardom, bling, or beef; it's about the craft and skill - what goes on inside the minds and erupts from the lips of rap legends. Ice-T travels from coast to coast, engaging intimately with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Eminem, Nas, Mos Def, Kanye West, Chuck D, KRS-One, Snoop Dogg, Run-DMC, and Ice Cube. The film features original rapping and some classic never heard before a cappellas from the mouths of the creators. What emerges is a mighty soul tribute to the original American art form that brought poetry to a new generation.

Often times a documentary crew will roll 2 cameras at once for style & coverage to assist in editing. The second camera in this film is just an awful shaky vomit inducing mess. Completely distracting and unnecessary.

This doc was truly on. The hall of famers of the hip hop genre. Best of the best, cream of the crop, the political statement by da people that formed a culture we now call hip hop.

These are the real hip hop players must I say.Img 55yrs in to this and those players that think there players are and have been played by them selves,because give credit no give the respect!!!!!!where it's do to those real players who let you in! $$$$ Ice no dis to you or any wives out there,your men are hip hop and that's not Wales lol if you think so then who ever does need more schoolin thts my word .word!
