A Truth About Women & Hip-Hop

We put you onto the BET special My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women & Hip-Hop, but just in case you missed it - we've got you covered. As a female (and somewhat of a rapper), I found this documentary to be very inspiring. The documentary features Eve, MC Lyte, Jean Grae, Eve, Yo Yo, Salt ‘N Pepa, Missy Elliott, Trina, Roxane Shante, Rah Digga, Lady Of Rage and more. It was interesting to hear the different views of one of the only female emcees in the game making moves right now (besides Trina), Nicki Minaj. Overall it was a great program. I don't know how much this will shift the position of females in Hip-Hop, but it was great. Happy watching.

Well, you might receive your big break.

YouTube and producer Ridley Scott along with director Kevin Macdonald are teaming up to create what is being called the “first user-generated feature length documentary.”

The project, entitled “Life in a Day”, will tell future generations what it was like to be alive during a day in summer 2010. It will feature footage from YouTube users around the globe that is submitted by July 24^th.

Chosen users will be credited as co-directors in the film, and twenty will be chosen to attend the premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

eyeWatch: "NY-Z"

Jay-Z and New York's Madison Square Garden go together like Wayne Newton and Las Vegas' the Stardust. So in honor of this partnership, Absolut vodka released a mini-documentary titled "NY-Z" that details the Brooklyn rapper's bond with the world's most famous arena. The 15-minute production, directed by Danny Clinch, landed online late Monday afternoon.

"New York, New York, is my foundation, it's the center of my growth, it's the muse for my art," Jay-Z says in the clip. "It's where I grew up. It's the thing that I have a lot of pride in."

The doc trails Jay-Z as he prepared for the release of his Blueprint 3 album and his September 11 benefit show at the Garden. The star-studded event boasted an array of guests, from old friends Mary J. Blige and Diddy to new Hov associates Kid Cudi and John Mayer. Happy Watching!
