What better way to study the art of rap
than to have Ice-T as your guide through all the rhymes and beats of this
enormous musical genre. Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap invites
rap historians and casual listeners to delve into the DNA of hip-hop. Director Ice-T interviews his rap
cohorts, and the footage is jaw dropping.
Eminem details how rap saved his life. Kanye rips into a vicious rhyme. Dre remembers Tupac.
Though no attention is given to Atlanta or the emerging hip-hop
underground (OFWGKTA, A$AP Rocky, El-P to name a few), the documentary
successfully taps into select artists’ minds and into the roots of this
enigmatic art form.
