Something from nothing: The art of rap - Ice T's rap documentary

[QuietStorm]

As he prepares for the June 15 theatrical opening of his documentary “Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap,” Ice-T promises that the campaign “won’t end with this film.” Ice-T’s “Something From Nothing: Art Of Rap” is a documentary on rap music and its rise to global prominence.

Ice-T spent two years working on “Something From Nothing,” chatting with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Run-DMC, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kanye West, Grandmaster Melle Mel and scores of others about the actual crafts of rapping, rhyming, composing and sound generation.

“In my 25 years of rapping, no one ever asked me how I did it,” explained Ice-T, who licensed more than 400 songs for the film and commissioned Smooth Hustla to compose the original track “109 MCs.” “People would always be more concerned with the beefs, the cars, the girls, the celebrity side of it, but not how it’s done. To me that meant people thought you just s*** it out. There’s no creative process. There’s nothing to it… But some of these cats, it’s like very intricate wordplay, and they have their own ways to do it. I tried to get people who spoke on all the different styles of rap — the underground battle rappers or the conscious rappers. There’s lots of different styles.”
