Description: '961 Underground', produced and directed by DJ, producer, turntablist and Arab scratch wizrd Lethal Skillz (aka Hussein Mao) is the first documentary covering that scene and a timely reminder at this time of conflict in the region that the rap genre in all languages is a vocal form of creative protest and an effective way for the real people of a nation - the disaffected youth - to get their voices heard. The film features interviews with the numerous voices to be found today in Lebanese Hip Hop - from rappers to producers and DJs - each of whom tell their story and tell it like it is. It also features unique and original footage of this colourful crew spitting rhymes on streets corners or live on stage with an eloquence that is Lebanon's best-kept secret and one that the rest of the world is about to discover... for more info check www.961underground.com

nadimliban ::: Favorites one more thing.. hiphop el lebnene as i see it resembles the muslim arab feature of lebanon and excludes the maronite lebanese feature from it.. according to this clip, i for example dont feel represented as lebanese :S 07-10-16 19:21:53 __________________________________________________
DemonBird2 ::: Favorites When I was in Lebanon this summer I was in the daya2h, the area in the Beirut suburbs that was hit hard during the war last year. Their was a cafe I wen't to every week and some guys that showed up would do a rap for us. They didn't speak much english bas they had some good lyrics. 07-10-16 19:20:53 __________________________________________________
DemonBird2 ::: Favorites Not all hip-hip is lal nawar, lol. The modern american hip hip rap is garbage because their lyrics are about drugs, money, and ho's. But when you got something to rap about, in this case for Lebanese it's our culture and the wars we've been through. The lyrics are meaningful and appropriate. 07-10-16 19:19:08 __________________________________________________
