The Hip Hop Project Summary Story Of A Group Of New York City Teens Who Embark On A Unique Journey Of Self-discovery As They Dare To Reach For Their Dreams. Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 01/05/2010 Starring: Bruce Willis Run Time: 85 Minutes Director: Matt Ruskin

Produced by Queen Latifah and Bruce Willis, The Hip Hop Project is a response to those who describe hip-hop as negative. (Some is, some isn't.) Art Start founder Scott Rosenberg and his partner, Matt Ruskin, spent four years documenting the work of this New York-based program, and the result is a film bursting with positivity. The focus of their attention is rapper/social worker Chris "Kazi" Rolle, who helps a group of at-risk African American teenagers to produce a record. He's assisted by his fiancée, Robin "Kheperah" Kearse, a music industry veteran. From the start, they discourage misogyny and thug posturing, but encourage their charges to rhyme from the heart. Released in conjunction with the movie, the Hip Hop Project CD took years to materialize, because the aspiring rappers were expected to keep up with school work and sometimes had to take time out to deal with family crises. The charismatic Christopher "Cannon" Mapp, for instance, gets involved while his mother is entering the final stages of multiple sclerosis. Kazi, who is in his 20s, has issues of his own. In encouraging these kids to strengthen family bonds, he realizes he needs to set a better example. So, the filmmakers follow Kazi as he returns to the Bahamas to pay his respects to his foster mother. Then, he re-connects with his birth mother, who left him behind when she moved to the States. All the while, he teaches his charges to write, rap, and record an album. Willis and rap mogul Russell Simmons help out along the way. Viewers concerned about language should be advised that there's profanity here, but no negativity. Even Oprah, an outspoken critic of gangsta rap, would approve. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
