Something from Nothing! The Art of Rap




After our professor  Nirit, showed this movie in class this week, the first I did: Google!
For me google is my rap hero, there I can find any rap lyric that I want, and analyze. Rap is a world, that I used to feel that I was never invited.
I couldnt ever understand what were the lyrics saying, but after the movie I decided its about time to catch up. I set and I think read about 30 lyrics from different
artist that the professor presented in class, I can say that after 10 I started to understand. Although in class in learnt that music, HipHop, Rap its a way of expression as any other, and the best part its a play of sarcasm, I need it to sit and read every lyrics.
Its pure FLAVOR! 


I think I fall in love with the rap lyrics that laugh on politicians, its just amazing how they find the way to show you a point of view and laugh at the same time.

The movie is narrated by the famous rapper ICE T. The movie had one goal, interview big names! lke Dr Dre, Eminem, Melle Mell, and many others that I discover in that movie. What I liked about the movie, thats its not a show off movie, the plan was only to show how this business moves everyday. 
And thats its the interesting role of the movie, to show how it really works, how they admire each other and the only thing that they want its to keep this art industry growing. 




Are you still thinking that Rap its just vulgarity?




Gospel, Jazz, motown, soul music and R&B get together with RAP to combine a music genre. When we talk about RAP, we talk about elements that can make music even more spicy or controversial that they are. You need to see Rap as a tool, as the spicy element that the genre needs. In all the world, we tend to see rap as representing a point of view, as a representing voice. There are many factors such us cultural issues, different generations, different countries, languages new artist that shape this type of music. And never stop changing.

 Street art-NY.
Rap tells stories, Rap shows a lifestyle, but also raps can "offend" other group of people, and some can take is as an aggression  or vulgar. Because the Rap never stop changes, because there are always new artist, rap also can tent to be less or more vulgar for other people. Rap see them self as artist, as a way of expression. Rap in can represent  expression of emotions, looking for peace, looking to express some anger and pain. But Rap has his own magic that we tend to see in Art: Sarcasm.
Yes, rap specially with HipHop we tend to see it as a way of expression of the emotions, to represent injustice, anger and to show difficulties in people lives, but with an amazing twist: They laught about it!
This artist the play with it, yes they say, yes this the life that we have, but we need to be sarcastic, we need to make it art we need to use it! 
Thats why sometimes you can think that there is a lot of vulgarity, or representing an expesive life, and funny clothes! Because they learnt to laugh such as any other art!
