| Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme | |||
|
Dir. Kevin Fitzgerald US The Hip-Hop Film Festival and the Center For Hip-Hop Education present special benefit screenings of this work-in-progress documentary. Explosively tracing the story of a group of underground hip-hop MCs from the mid-80s to the present day, the film explores the world of improvisational rap as a modern day incarnation of the tradition of African-American storytelling called Rap. Shot over a period of more than seven years (and still counting) by student filmmakers, the story is told by way of two rival MC's, MC Supernatural & Craig-G, both legends in the hip-hop underground who battled off and on during the mid to early 90's. Their tale provides the backdrop by which we explore this seldom seen world: a land where artists re-appropriate English and create a new language of personal and socio-economic empowerment. Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme is the first American film to counter false notions of hip-hop's erroneous negative and overly aggressive image. It provides an authentic look into the spiritual life, educational benefits, and historical culture of hip-hop music today. Also featuring Mos Def, Freestyle Fellowship, Black Thought, Cut Chemist, Jucie, Planet Asia, Medusa, and The Living Legends.(74m) Sorry, no passes or punchards. |
