The art of rap

was sitting in class this week and we were watching a movie called '' something from nothing :the art of rap ''. Which is a performance documentary about the long way rap has come.
But what made me love it most was the personal journey into ICE-T's life ( whom, if you've read my older posts, you'd know I absolutely love). and how he's rap who started on the streets, changed to dominate the world.

Eminem, snoop dogg and kanye west were part of the documentary, speaking about the roots and history of rap.

I must admit I was stumbled to see ( once again ) the importance of the lyrics in rap. how they emphasize that knowing rap's language is crucial to both listen to or write rap music.
Last week I wasn't even aware that there was such a subliminal world carved into the lyrics. But I guess it's never too late to learn.

Here were some of my favorite and most inspirational parts of the movie.

                                           

' I'm using simplicity , just getting to the point you know '

( yeah kinda .. ) 

No need to say that Kanye is just amazing in this video, I think it s the first time i've seen him so ' human' and so vulnerable, speaking about his first rap battle ever, that he lost , and this is the reason he has kept to simplicity in his lyrics. 

Anyways, even his ability to freestyle like this shows his true talent and his anger towards the world, Which only reinforces the idea of ' fuck the police ' . 

On to Detroit :

 ' In a club I got boo-ed , I went home and said man I quite . But a few days later i said to myself you gotta get up ' 

This is something a bit different than Kanye because Eminem is known to '' write complicated '' . Like he says, it's a puzzle that I wanna figure out  , I make sandwich words. 

What I like most about this interview is the part where he says that if something comes up, and he has no paper, he writes it on his hand . 

I think Eminem has a true passion for rap music, just listening to him saying that without rap he wouldn't have gone through his addictions , is so strong. 

and we can't forget the part that he is white in a Black's world. He certainly was one of the first ones to enter rap music and make the world accept it . 

I'm including the trailer for those who weren't convinced to see the movie ( even if you really should )
