Legendary rapper Nas shines a light on ‘real hip-hop’ with inspiring documentary short

Nasir 'Nas' Jones has teamed up with Guardian Docs to give the world an insight into what he sees as 'real hip-hop'...

The socially conscious rapper explores the impact of hip-hop culture around the globe with a film produced in conjunction with the UK-based media agency. Inspiring b-boys and b-girls in the likes of Uganda, Yemen, Cambodia and Colombia are featured, as they express themselves through music and movement. It's a refreshing reaffirmation of the power and integrity of the genre, which is in stark contrast to the hedonistic themes of modern rap music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=13&v=529H9Q6nyMY
