A couple of days ago we posted the trailer and yesterday we put a couple of posters, and as if you didn’t need any more reasons to check out the very promising Something From Nothing : The Art of Rap, here are some clips featuring some of the best in the game talking about the craft that they love so much. Considering we are talking about the elite of the elite, these Kanye West, Nas and Eminem really helped frame just how special and important this doc could be.
Now about that Toronto Release Date?

About the Film Ice-T takes us on an intimate journey into the heart and soul of hip-hop with the legends of rap music. This performance documentary goes beyond the stardom and the bling to explore what goes on inside the minds, and erupts from the lips, of the grandmasters of rap. Recognized as the godfather of Gangsta rap, Ice-T is granted unparalleled access to the personal lives of the masters of this artform that he credits for saving his life. Interspersed with the performers’ insightful, touching, and often funny revelations are classic raps, freestyle rhymes, and never before heard a cappellas straight from the mouths of the creators. What emerges is a better understanding of, and a tribute to, an original American art form that brought poetry to a new generation.
The trailer looks great and now we have some posters of the extremely interesting Something From Nothing : The Art of Rap. I like everything about this film. As mentioned in my last post, the only way a documentary of this nature can work is if they everyone who is important in it have a conversation with someone who is extremely knowledgeable. With Ice-T leading the charge, you get that in spades.
Check out the posters below and head over here if you want to catch the trailer again.
