Most Awesome Hip Hop Documentaries

1. Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap (2012)

Director: Ice-T,  Andy Baybutt

One of the most awesome hip hop documentaries ever made is certainly Ice-T’s Something from Nothing. Why? Well, for starters it features almost every big name in the industry as interviewees giving their opinion on what it means to write and compose a rap lyric that’s powerful and inspires the audience. But what’s even more compelling is that this film captures a secret that every hip hop fan wants to know: what lyrics by other artists their favourite rappers wish they had written themselves. The answers are truly revealing and the concept of hip hop as a tight-knitten community becomes evident throughout the whole movie.
