Sorry? I'm from Kildare not....

The fact it's old doesn't take away from it,the fact it's Joe budden explains why i never heard it before,there was a stage where if he was playing live in my back yard i would have set the hounds on him

just goes to show ignorance can result in missing some dope **** Brah

I think some people are getting the wrong idea about this doc. It never claimed to be an anthology or almanac of all hip hop that ever mattered. It was a documentary about different MCs approach to writing lyrics, their methods, their influences and what they feel they have contributed to hip hop.

I am very interested to see if Ice T uses some of the "about 1 hour from each MC" that he mentioned in the Q&A on the DVD release. I mean he packed in 40 MCs, not to mention all he helicopter shots and cityscape segues with the beats and verses.

Very true.Looking forward to the DVD release.

There was some great comedy moments in it as they all seemed so relaxed in the company of Ice T - what with him being one of them and all.

I was also amazed when it turned out it was Joe Budden on that verse

Doug E Fresh's appearance again shows most beatboxers are cracked.

All in all highly enjoyable - couldnt help thinking it could have benefited from Masta Ace's input but as someone has mentioned I dont think the intention was so much to chronicle hip hop but rather explore the art of being an emcee.

They did actually show Project X and if im not mistaken they had it for at least 3 weeks, this film was far from being a major money maker, it didn't do much at the box office at all. As for The Inbetweeners very few cinema's got to show that, due to poor distribution agreements by Entertainment Movies, they would not distribute to "certain" cinema's for whatever reason, as has been the case for a number of their movies over the last couple of years.

Yes they did show Project X alright. It was a full 4 weeks after it came out originally though. They missed out on the initial buzz and everyone who wanted to see it had gone to another cinema to watch it. There's almost no point in bringing it in that late.

In the case of The Inbetweeners I can only go on what I saw myself but the majority of people that I know around the country were all able to see it in their local cinema. My brother had to go to Waterford to see it. I had to wait until I was in Dublin to see it.

Giving this thread a bump because The Art of Rap was shown on VH1 last week in the U S of A. There is a huge wink-wink and nudge-nudge in what I am saying.

Seaneh · 18-09-2012, 00:16

any recipies for that Bappsie?

Seaneh · 18-09-2012, 00:27

NEvermind, got one.

Seaneh · 18-09-2012, 04:02

Downloaded the VH1 version and it's edited to ****, loads of stuff missing, kinda annoyed, have to watch the whole ****ing thing again. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit.

**Boom_Bap** · 18-09-2012, 10:04

Glad to hear you acquired a copy. But i'll be getting the DVD/BluRay release as there are 2 hours of extras apparently.

ghostface ste · 22-09-2012, 16:03

Watched this the other night, it's not a very good film with a particularly bad structure to it jumping all over the place. Interesting bits from a few of the the contributors but a few appearances from some rappers would like to have heard from are very short and pointless. Gets Raekwon on screen to talk for 20 secs on what 'whack' is?? wtf.
