Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap


Something from Nothing The Art of Rap is a 2012 American documentary directed and executive produced by IceT and codirected by Andy Baybutt. It focuses on the craft of writing and performing rap verses, and all the interviewees are musicians of the genre and friends of IceT. Producer Paul Toogood states on the DVD release that the genesis of the project stemmed from a conversation he had with IceT in which he asked him how he wrote seminal tracks such asin the Mornin and Colors.

An official soundtrack to the film was released on CD and as a digital download featuring fifteen songs selected from the movie, seven freestyles as performed in the film, plus one track Harder Than You Think Just Like That by Public Enemy, which featured in the films trailer but does not feature in the actual movie. The first track is an official live acapella freestyle by IceT, but in the films credits, this track is referred to as Chrome Plated 357. IceT is also featured on Immortal Techniques live acapella freestyle but is not credited as such on the soundtrack.
