Word Is Bond (2018)

Word Is Bond: Directed by Sacha Jenkins. With Anderson .Paak, Brother Ali, Big Daddy Kane, J. Cole. What was born on the streets of the South Bronx has now taken root globally, and the young poets of New York have helped to spawn regional dialects everywhere. Through dynamic archival footage, in-depth interviews and vertie excursion with artists like Nas, Tech9, J Cole, Rapsody and Anderson .Paak, Word is Bond explores the many dimensions the hip hop poetics occupy.

“I wish it would have been better. There are so many Hip Hop documentaries, and some better than this. If you wanna see the raw style, go back to see Wild Style. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is poorly structured. It just starts without any background whatsoever. No real introduction of any of them, so you would need to know who each rapper is before watching this and their history. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is just a bunch of random MCs giving us abstracts vignettes. Like random montage interviews without any beginning, middle, and ending, or character exposition. E.g. u0026quot;I used to do this, and then I did that, and I feel like this.u0026quot; That isnu0026#39;t a story. A five minute expose may have worked, but no way 1:30 hours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn summary, if you know nothing about rap or any of the rapper you will learn nothing. You can skip this..”
