Ice-T visits the UK to promote new doc “The Art of Rap”

Honest and raw account of hip-hop culture.

Rap legend Ice-T recently stopped by the UK’s Channel 4 news to speak on his new documentary “Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap“. Having premiered at Sundance Film Festival this year, the movie is the rapper’s take on true hip-hop culture. Not the women, money or cars, but the true essence of the lifestyle: b-boying, emceeing, DJing, and graffiti writing. From its early beginnings in the 1970′s to present day, “The Art of Rap” is a peek into the mindset and heart of some of the realest emcees in the game, including Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, MC Lyte, Nas, Rakim, and Snoop, just to name a few). And as always Ice-T keeps it real honest in this interview — talks much about his “colorful past”, which was part inspiration for the film.

If you have yet to see it, get thee to a theatre quick! It’s chock-full of insight and wisdom –and probably one of the illest freestyles you’d ever wanna see from Eminem.
