Something from Nothing ; The Art Of Rap [ Documentary Film + Release Date + Official Trailer ]

 The Art of Rap : Official | Facebook | Twitter | IMDb

When we talk about Hip Hop today the first things that come to mind are; scantily clad women, cuss words, extravagant cars, and oodles of bucko-bucks galore. Hip Hop has somehow transformed from a powerful voice of change to something just short of a pop music - public strip club, and for me personally it's really quite dissapointing. Now if you just so happen to feel the same way, or even divorced Hip Hop because she changed on you, this is a documentary you need to see.

From Nothing to Something ; The Art Of Rap is documentary film directed by Ice-T, that shares the real story and struggle of Hip Hop, it's origins, the new life it gave to spoken word and poetry and it's rise to mass adoption.  Set to drop in theaters next week on June 15, The Art of Rap features the story of this movement as told by the legends of Hip Hop themselves like ; Afrika Bambaataa, Bun B, Doug E. Fresh, Snoop Dogg, Rass Kass, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Immortal Technique... and the list goes on and on. With the "Ratchet Movement" on it's way out, there's a chance that Hip Hop / Rap and it's lovers can reconnect to what it was really all about. So for all you NAY-sayers and all those who've divorced Hip Hop, here's a chance to fall back in Love with it, to remind us about the truth behind the music and lyrics, and possibly even spur change within the industry!
