Rakim "WORDS" (Short Film)


Words is a re-introduction, and aural celebration of hip-hop’s most influential MC. Inspired by the vinyls that birthed the art form, the film is a portrait of two sides of an artist (A & B) and the streets and city he inspired. Two of his verses ("I Know You Got Soul" and "Follow The Leader") have been remixed … but the weight of his words will never change. His flow patterns and elevated rhymes shifted the entire culture! If this mini-doc / ode to the God MC, RAKIM, doesn't give you chills and make you stop what you're doing, then make you feel like you can do and be ANYTHING, then hip-hop culture might not be for you. Watch this excellent short film by Matt Bieler below...
