Ice-T grills Dr Dre

In this exclusive outtake from the "Art of Rap" DVD, Ice-T finds out how Dr Dre developed the cleanest sounding production in Hip Hop.



About the "Art of Rap" DVD

“Rap is an American art form and it needs respect,” Ice-T said in a recent interview with Hip-Hop Weekly. “I wanted to do a film that makes people totally understand how great it is to me. Rap saved my life. So I called my friends up and asked if they’d be in my movie: ‘I’m not gonna ask you about the money, the cars, the jewelry, the beef. I just wanna ask you about the craft.’ It was a labor of love.

"Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap" is available now on iTunes Movies and on DVD. So make sure you get it today at www.itunes.com/artofrap
