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. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Movie Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap
There's no faulting the lyrical excellence on display. These guys are legends for a reason.
Tom Huddleston-Time Out Rap confirms the art of the form from the inside. Only time can sort out the rest.
Michelle Orange-Village Voice Essential viewing and a nice companion piece to "Wild Style," "Style Wars" and other key hip-hop documentaries.
Kevin C. Johnson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch In his debut as a documentarian, Ice T creates a vibrant portrait of how and why rap came to be.
Sara Stewart-New York Post This is a film that does sweat the technique, with at times illuminating and spirited results.
Nicolas Rapold-New York Times The interviews are often revealing and funny. And much of the music is tremendous.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Fantastic hip-hop documentary has profanity, some drug use.
Brian Costello-Common Sense Media It's an insider's celebration of the form, studded with straight-to-camera rhymesmithery from its best practitioners.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph What they don't talk about, on Ice-T's specific instructions, are the moral, social and psychological aspects of the art, and there's little on how rap relates to other forms of black music such as jazz, gospel or the blues.
Philip French-Observer [UK] All fascinating stuff if a little repetitive and rambling but definitely one for fans.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express It's hard not to like a film so in love with its subject matter, or boasting such an incredible soundtrack.
Alex Zane-Sun Online The film is educative, entertaining, in almost all senses a blast. Your body is left in your seat while your soul is blown to the back of the auditorium.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Preaching to the choir, but that's no bad thing.
Sherwyn Spencer-Little White Lies Watchable documentary that showcases some impressive a cappella rap performances and provides the occasional amusing anecdote...
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon A very enjoyable and often fascinating movie.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] An extremely interesting insight, proving that rap music is an art form in its own right.
David Hughes-Empire Magazine It's likely to be fascinating if you are a hip hop fan, but almost wilfully unilluminating if you aren't.
Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman Freestyle, funny but finally just too repetitive, Ice's affectionate home-movie needed someone to structure it into a deeper documentary.
Jonathan Crocker-Total Film Hardly definitive (where's Houston and Memphis, and why are MC Lyte and Salt the only females represented?), the movie is nonetheless fascinating for fans, as rappers break down their writing techniques for Ice-T's cameras.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Rap aficionados will find plenty to appreciate in this tribute, not to mention some powerful on-camera freestyles.
