Summary
Anybody who believes that crime, poverty, and drugs have killed political thought among the young people of America's most disadvantaged neighborhoods, has only to see Straight Up Rappin to be set straight. This compelling documentary is about rap as it is declaimed in the streets of New York, straight up - without music. These rappers, amateurs all, feel a compelling need to express their feelings about the world they live in. There are ten-year olds who rap about the Bill of Rights, young men who rap about homelessness and child abuse, a young woman who raps about revolution. The powerful and often bitter words of their street poetry, expresses the political consciousness of their generation.
