Nas and The Guardian have put together a six-minute documentary about Hip Hop’s influence across the world.
The doc, titled “The Real Hip Hop,” explores several slums, shanty towns and ghettos in Uganda, Cambodia and Yemen, where there is a passion for Hip Hop.
A handful of natives speak about the music genre’s impact in their country in the doc.
“We know that we can’t dance our way out of poverty,” a young boy says. “But with break-dancing we feel like we can do anything.”
Nas does not appear in the film.

They got real ghettos, slums
Fuck queensBridge fuck you nigga hov ain’t shit his a fucking sell out just like a lot of hip hop clown out there
The Human L has the nerve calling it “Real Hip Hop” when he does songs with Young Money, MMG and Madonna. LOLOLOLOL
LOL Meanwhile, Jay Z has also done songs with Young Money and MMG, alongside Rihanna and Justin Timberlake.
The only Human L is OP.
Thing is Nas proclaimed “hip hop is dead” and is always trying to call out others for selling out then contradicts himself. Hov has always had a hustler mind state going after the money since day one. But I guess you were too slow to figure that one out.
Wrong. Jay Z is always contradicting himself. He claims to be about the culture, yet his actions prove otherwise
It’s a shame that Nas is one of the small few that is making Hip Hop music to uplift the world and not have selfish inhibitions behind it. Nas presents a Documentary of ‘Real Hip Hop’ and it’s influence around the world. We need more positive messages to influence and inspire the world in lieu of the fake fantasy things that average person cannot be or possess during the struggle of just trying to survive.
