The Real Summer Blockbuster: The Art of Rap

Ice-T is behind the new movie, Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap, which drops this June and I have to say, this looks great! We had The Show back in 1995 as well as Rhyme & Reason in 1997, both of which were decent documentaries on hip-hop, but The Art of Rap looks like it's going to be better than both. I watched the Tribe Called Quest documentary recently and really enjoyed it, although it still kills me that Tribe broke up, and I'm a big fan of documentaries so I'm sure this movie won't disappoint. Interviews with Common, Eminem, Public Enemy, Rakim, Dr. Dre, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Raekwon, Kanye West, KRS-One, Doug E. Fresh, DJ Premier, Run DMC, etc. It's a dream team of hip-hop legends past and present. And it looks like it's hip-hop in the purest form instead of getting the "hottest" names and wasting interviews on Flo Rida and Pitbull or Odd Future and 2 Chainz or some shit like that. Peep the trailer, it'll get you amped.
