Well we are glad to have you back for another TOP 3 VIDEOS OF THE WEEK, we think this ones a good one. Enjoy!
This past weekend we screened the film Directed by Ice-T SOMETHING FROM NOTHING: THE ART OF RAP.
SOMETHING
FROM NOTHING: THE ART OF RAP is a feature length performance documentary about
the runaway juggernaut that is Rap music. At the wheel of this unstoppable
beast is the film's director and interviewer Ice-T. Taking us on a deeply
personal journey Ice-T uncovers how this music of the street has grown to
dominate the world. Along the way Ice-T meets a whole spectrum of Hip-Hop
talent, from founders, to new faces, to the global superstars like Eminem, Dr
Dre, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. He exposes the roots and history of Rap and
then, through meeting many of its most famous protagonists, studies the living
mechanism of the music to reveal 'The Art Of Rap'. This extraordinary film
features unique performances from the entire cast, without resorting to archive
material, to build a fresh and surprising take on the phenomenon that is Rap. Written

As a fan of
Rap music I found this film/documentary very entertaining and at the same time
very interesting. I was fascinated to find out how many of the artist had very
different styles to developing a song or and beat. With the variety of artist
interviewed you could also see the differing styles of music from original hip-hop
to gangsta rap. Also with Ice-T as the interview, as well as a man who made
himself through the rap game he asked relevant questions and delved deeper to show
the inner workings of rap. With that I give this film 3 stars.
