I'm on a little longer to get out of the hip hop business. Not on the active side, I never stood on a stage (where: the Greek, and I had in the eighties a kick ass Kurtis Blow imitate it: I was walking down the avenue the other day when I've heard this crazy sound ...), but I heard a lot of hip hop. The early nineties, I discovered the Beastie Boys away from Partygegröhle and sank in Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Public Enemy and the other bands that have played a lot back then. But the fascination with American hip hop more and more important to the interests of German HipHop. At one point I was completely out and discovered other things. If I hear hip-hop today, it's usually fixed when any pseudo ghetto kids hang out with blaring mobile phones in the subway their gangsta attitude. There's not much appetite for this music.
So I was a little skeptical when my little brother R. and independent manner, the film Dave Chappelle's Block Party, put his heart. On Saturday night it happened: I had the film Amango kindly sent shortly after the release of the DVD.
The comedian Dave Chapelle has to deal with this project a dream have realized: bring together one day, the crème de la crème of hip hop in a side street in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn and to organize a very rich concert with about 5,000 people. The film documents the preparations of the concert, brings the inhabitants of the area to catch the mood behind the stage and accompanies a variety of people from Chapelles Hometown Dayton, which he invites to New York to come here and to be. eingesprenkelt are constantly short comedy numbers of the host.
So I dive into a DVD per day in Bed Stuy, an area that strikes me again and again since 1989, I first saw Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing".
Does it work? What can I say: Just to be a concert film. Just to be a documentary. Just include music, a comedy film to be.
And of course music, music, music at its best, far away from simple beatbox and thickness-eggs-behavior: hip-hop, funk, soul - so much of everything that you get an idea without it is monotonous or too much. This is supported by the intelligent interface, which dispenses with chronology to find the music again and again to present the people about the concert: Musicians, spectators, neighbors.
The party culminates in a reunion of the Fugees. A surprise for the party guests, which the remarkable event is billed as the "alternative solution to a technical difficulty." As Lauryn Hill's record company give the rights for the pieces was, she abruptly brought together the band's first time in seven years on the stage. The enthusiasm of the audience makes even with people like me that the music does not have much to have to do for a cold chill down my spine. Now I am looking forward to just order the CD and Mos Def I wonder if I can still inspire a second time for the hip-hop.
