The MC: Why We Do It

The MC: Why We Do It offers a glimpse into the lives of rap and hip hop music's most legendary MCs. Interviews include Kanye West, Nas, KRS-One, 50 Cent, RZA, Redman, and Mobb Deep. Through interviews and archival footage of pioneers Grandmaster Flash, N.W.A. and A Tribe Called Quest, the documentary explores how the role of the MC changed from the voice that introduced the musical acts to becoming the center of entertainment. Disc Jockey's began spinning tracks at block parties in the Bronx during the 1970s, paving the way for the MC to begin rapping along with the beats. The artists interviewed provide insight into their art and form of expression, the careers they have forged, the artists that inspired them along the way, and what they hope to accomplish with their music. Peter Spirer directs the 2005 documentary that was released in conjunction with the 25th year of the hip hop genre. MORE [EDIT]
