TFA presents a DVD-Release celebration of SOMETHING FROM NOTHING: THE ART OF RAP as its Third Thursday screening at the Wichita Art Museum, on September 20 at 7 pm.

Ice-T take us on an intimate journey into the heart and soul of hip hop with the legends of rap music.  This performance documentary, an Official Selection of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, 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 o the personal lives of the master of this art form that he credits for saving his life. Interspersed with the performer’s insightful, touching and often funny revelations are classic raps, freestyle rhymes, and never before heard a capellas straight from the mouths of the creators. What emerges is a better understanding of, and a tribute to, and original American art form that brought poetry to a new generation.

The film features Afrika, Common, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Ice Cube, Kanye West, Kool Keith, Kool Moe Dee, MC Lyte, Nas, Q-Tip, Snoop Dog, Xzibit and Yasiin (formerly known as Mos Def) along with many more of rap’s most influential artists. The DVD, from Indomnia Films, will be released the week of the screening.
