Ice-T Discuss His 'Art of Rap' Documentary [Video Inside]


Billboard writes:
Hip-hop will invade Sundance this weekend when "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap," a new documentary co-directed by Ice-T, is screened at the annual film festival. Before its premiere, Billboard caught up with Ice-T to discuss his first directing effort, and why the film offers a never-before-seen perspective on hip-hop.

"I was looking at the terrain of hip-hop and where it's going… A lot of the kids don't even know where it started, and I said, 'I wanna go and document the craft -- not the money, not the cars, not the girls, the craft,'" says Ice-T. The rapper/actor spoke with MCs like Immortal Technique, Raekwon and Chuck D about their lyrical styles and the cultural importance of hip-hop music.

I will probably go sees this twice. This is a necessity right now. Rap right now is total garbage. When i listen to rap, I don't care about your swag, or what stupid little dance you come up with. I want that feeling i use to have where i would have top rewind my tape back just to catch a dope line/metaphor. I think Rap artist from the golden era with the means to do it, should take a group of young kids to see this documentary. Then let the word of mouth just spread about how dope HIP-HOP really is.
