Movie Reviews of Soundz of Spirit

Movie Review: For the love of music, people and spirit
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this DVD because I'm a fan of the majority of artists featured on it. I'm their fan because, in addition to putting out quality music, they are activists and use their talents for the good of all. This DVD explored why they got into the hip-hop movement, what it means to them, how it connects them to both humanity and spirit. It is very well done, with a grassroots feel to it. "Soundz of Spirit" shows the flipside to today's hip-hop and underground music scene. There is no flash, no bling-bling, no ballers; just a true love and passion for this thing we call "Hip-hop". If you are an artist, this DVD will motivate you to go even higher in your craft. If you are an activist, it will give you hope in our youth. If you are simply someone who enjoys good music, this will turn you on to new artists that are under the radar, but desere to be heard. "Soundz of Spirit" is destined to become one of my favorites and I hope that it's message will spread around the globe.

Summary of Soundz of Spirit

Unlike any other hip-hop documentary to date, Soundz of Spirit is a riveting feature-length documentary film that explores the relationship between the creative process and spirituality in hip-hop culture. Both revealing and inspiring, Soundz of Spirit features powerful performances and in-depth interviews with a diverse group of hip-hop artists, including MCs, DJs, poets, producers, and dancers. Featured in Soundz of Spirit are Andre 3000 (Outkast), Common, Cee-Lo, KRS-1, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious, Nappy Roots, Jurassic 5, Zion I, Dilated Peoples, The Last Poets, Aceyalone, Mystic, DJ Q-Bert, Living Legends, Saul Williams, Medusa, Goapele, Michael Franti and many others.Venturing into uncharted territory, Soundz of Spirit draws the connections between the creative freedom and the spiritual outlet that are provided by hip-hop culture for the current generation. The documentary captures artists in their moments of inspiration and takes in-depth looks into their creative process, from conception to completion. While many of the artists featured hail from the West Coast's underground scene, all of them are fiercely independent creative forces, and their contributions toward elevating hip-hop to a truly revolutionary worldwide movement is brilliantly showcased. While negative images of hip-hop are constantly portrayed in mainstream media, Soundz of Spirit highlights the culture's positive strengths, expressing messages concerning creativity, spirituality and activism.
