 An Insightful Look At What It Means To Be An MCMay 22, 2005
By J. T. Combes
"steelersfan_1970"
The MC Why We Do It is a very insightful look into what it means to be an MC in the Hip-Hop music industry. It explores the roots of the subject; suggesting that it began with artists from the Big Band Era and how they influenced MCs of today's era. The artists appearing in on-camera interviews such as KRS-One, Slick Rick, Too $hort, Common and Rakim are brilliant. Subject matter in hip-hop such as "Bling, Bling" and the "Gangta" is explored in depth. When the subject of spirituality in music comes up, Too $hort explains passionately of how he is at peace with the music that he has put out to the masses.
I recommend The MC Why We Do It DVD to any inspiring MC or Rapper. I found this DVD very inspiring because it featured the best MCs in the industry, past and present and they share their invaluable insight into the hip-hop industry with honesty and intelligence. This DVD is a manual for how to become a successful MC who has more to rap about other than guns, cars and jewelry. The MC Why We Do It receives 5 Stars from this writer.
