Ice-T Discuss His Art of Rap



Hip-hop will invade Sundance this weekend when "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap," a new documentary co-directed by Ice-T, is screened at the annual film festival.

"I was looking at the terrain of hip-hop and where it's going… A lot of the kids don't even know where it started, and I said, 'I wanna go and document the craft not the money, not the cars, not the girls, the craft,'" says Ice-T. The rapper/actor spoke with MCs like Immortal Technique, Raekwon and Chuck D about their lyrical styles and the cultural importance of hip-hop music.

Powerful Documentary : Dark Girls

The issue of skin color is is a constant topic in America amongst amongst all races, but none more so than in the black community where skin tones can range from very light to very dark. Things like who has "good hair" vs nappy hair are often joked about in school. Most of the time it's not until we reach adulthood that we realize how much we are affected by these comparisons.

In the hip hop community we need to look no further than music videos to see that often dark skinned girls are shunned in favor of lighter skinned video vixens. Why is that the case?

Directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry have put together a powerful new documentary titled 'Dark Girls' that takes a look at the "deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color...particularly dark skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture."

In the preview we see several women talk about issues, ranging from being picked on in school because of their darker skin color, to problems finding a mate.

Maybe the most heartbreaking scene shows a small girl who is asked to point out the smart, pretty girl on a sheet of paper. She consistently points to the white one as being smarter and more attractive, while saying just the opposite about the dark skinned girl.

Check out the preview below, it's certain to make you think.

'Dark Girls' is expected to be released in Fall/Winter 2011.
